Just the facts

Before I forget I wanted to post some cute Greta stories and facts. Most of these pertain to her girly-ness.

  • Loves bows. I mean REALLY loves bows. Wants to wear one at all times, even when going to bed. I have to convince her that you don't wear bows to bed. I can put one in her hair and she insists she still needs a bow. This ends in me showing her the hairbows in the mirror.
  • Enjoys chapstick and lip gloss. When I do my makeup she will request "wip gwoss" (said very thickly) and will patiently wait until I put it on and then she gets some. Favorite flavor? Strawberry Fizz.
  • Favorite Color? Red. If she picks out a bow, shoes, socks, clothes...it's 90% of the time red. Particularly shoes. She LOVES her red shoes.
  • Pretty clothes deserve an "woooooooo". The dress I am currently making for her has received lots of woos during construction and trial fittings.
  • Greta loves to dance and twirl. Just wait till she gets the twirly dress I'm making her!
  • She is enamored by my jewelry, earrings in particular. She will sit and play with my earrings for quite a while and is generally gentle.
  • Bubbles are her new favorite thing and she requests them all the time. Unfortunately, she also enjoys sticking the bubble wand in her mouth. Ewwwww!
  • For some reasons small newborn sized babies are woof woofs. She's referred to them as such on many occasions. Who knows why.
  • She likes to eat peas that are still frozen and uncooked. Graham discovered this one day.
  • The girl is a fan of music. She dances to it and sways. She's not picky. Anything will do.
And just for the record, her stats at 18 months are: 23lbs 2oz, 32.5 in.

I accidentally transposed my numbers. Should have been 23. Now fixed.

ha! i figured that was the case. i thought there's no way she's outgrown Will!! she's all dainty and girly compared to his chubby and manliness :)

and if she already likes shoes this much at 18mos, just wait. catherine was the same way. we now change shoes at least 8 times a day. no kidding, i think she changed shoes 5 times this morning before MM.

I loved reading her favorite things. She sounds like such a big girl. I still tend to think of Lauren as the baby. I think I treated (and expected different things from) Lydia more than Lauren at this age.
Post pics of the twirly dress! Is it red?!
