Destri

Happy Girl!

Destri is constantly making us smile with her cute personality. She is so much fun. She is always so happy!! She is talking so much. She is already 19 months old!! I can't even believe it. We just love this special little girl! Here are some of her highlights lately:

-Destri loves to make people smile. She knows she is cute, so she does things to make us laugh all of the time! She is a little shy around people she doesn't know, but it doesn't take her long to warm up.

-She loves her big brother! They play so well together. She gets a little frustrated with him at times, because she is getting very independent. She gets mad if he tries to help "too much".

-She loves her baby dolls and her princess, Rapunzel. She is so good at playing with her toys, and keeping herself entertained. She also likes to play with her puzzles.

-She loves to read books. If Destri is in a bad mood, all you have to do is say "Book" and she will find the nearest book and bring it to you to read to her. She will sit on your lap until you are finished reading it to her. Then she will head out to find another.

-She LOVES Barney!! This is another way to cheer her up if she is sad. She starts to squeal if you even mention the word Barney. It's the cutest thing ever!

-She can say most words, and will repeat anything you say. Even if she can't say it, she will try her hardest to make it come out right. She can sing "Twinkle Little Star" the "ABC's" and some Barney songs. Some of the cutest words she says are "Awesome" "Dangit" "Baby" "Princess" "I Sorry" "All done" "Eat" and "I don't know, where is it?".

-Her favorite things to eat are apples, bananas, cheese, turkey, oatmeal, eggs, green beans, juice, chocolate milk and crackers. Although, she is pretty good at eating almost anything.

-She is so petite. She can still wear 12 month old clothes and only weighs 22 lbs. It's so cute watching her walk around the house.

-She is a VERY GOOD SLEEPER. She goes down for a nap and goes to bed so easily. We just lay her in her crib and she doesn't even argue. She goes right down. She sleeps the whole night, and it's SO WONDERFUL! What a good girl.

-She, unfortunately, still loves her binky. We broke her of the bottle at 12 months, but the binky might be a little harder. But we try to only give it to her when she goes to sleep. She doesn't like sippy cups. She only drinks through cups with straws.

I can't imagine life without this sweet little girl. She is so cuddly and gets so excited when her daddy comes home from work. She gives lots of kisses, hugs and "I Love you's". She is such a sweetheart and has brought so much joy into our home!! We love you Destri!
