I don’t know if there is anything this girl loves more than dressing up and wearing 50 million different shoes each day.

Liberty has loved her feet since she found them as a baby. Lately though she loves the reaction she gets from Canton as she smells her feet or puts them in her mouth. Oh silly girl 😉





Is there a greater sound than that?

It’s hard to believe Liberty will be TWO in just four months!

We are still waiting for that vocabulary explosion but regardless, she is still able to communicate what she wants! I’m not sure if we want to hear what she has to say haha!

Liberty is definitely not afraid of anything! I’ve caught her several times trying to climb up Canton’s bed, she often tries to go over the back of the couch, she has thrown toys over the railing in the kitchen to the rec room, I’m just waiting until she tries to go through the rails! She definitely keeps me on my toes! I think this girl can do anything she sets her mind to!

She has gotten a few more teeth and her hair continues to grow. However it is in the weird limbo stage where it basically just looks like a mullet, but we still love her! Her fine motor skills are so far ahead of Canton at this time. She can put on her shoes, her undies, and loves to brush her hair. She is CRAZY about climbing the stool in the bathroom to wash her own hands, brush her own teeth, and follow the random bathroom routines she sees, she even likes to get her baby Q-tips when she watches Mike clean his ears! 🙂

She still loves cats, not sure where she came from on that on, wearing all her shoes, dressing up, and most mornings can be found making food for her babies in her kitchen.

Can’t wait to see what the next four months bring! 🙂

Look at these sweethearts 🙂

She’s a little bigger than last year 😉

Canton had the talent show tonight! The first couple jokes were not as smooth as the practice because the teacher/M.C. actually said his exact jokes while waiting for some technical difficulties with another act. GRRRRRRRR. But, he recovered pretty well! 🙂 Cute (and surprise ending)–“Thanks for listening, Don’t forget to tip your waitress!” What a jokester! 🙂

Canton auditioned and was chosen to participate in the talent show on 2/9/15. This clip is from the practice they held today (2/5).

He was nervous about staying after school being one of only two K students, but he did a super job once he knew I was not leaving him there! 🙂 He definitely stood out among the dancers, recorder players, and pitchy Frozen/Taylor Swift songs 😉

Since Liberty will soon be out of her toddler bed we thought it would be a good idea to get Canton a new bed. It is a BEAST and still being put together, but here are a few pics of Liberty and Canton having fun in the hideaway cave!

19 months we have had our sweet girl! She continues to grow and change each day.

She’s up to 6 whole teeth and one 1/2 tooth. She has 4.5 on the bottom and her two top.

She continues to do great with the potty, it will still be a bit until overnight, but we are just thrilled with our undies wearing girl! 🙂

Although she still loves outside, sadly that doesn’t happen much in January in VA. So, for inside activities, Liberty really enjoys reading and playing in her kitchen. She loves to sing ABCs and the Itsy Bitsy spider.

She still doesn’t have too many words but she understands so much! She can follow two and three step directions like a pro! We just say that Canton does all the talking for her. But, we seriously cannot WAIT until she starts talking!

Also this month, she is no longer in the crib but a toddler bed! She loves that she can get into her bed all by herself and does really well at staying there, much to our surprise! I’ve caught this girl climbing and planning an escape route way too many times!
