Physical features:
~At birth her hair was dark brown and had a red tint to it. Her eyes were blue grey.
~At age 1, her hair was blond and there was only a very very small amount of it. It's even hard to see in pictures. Her eyes were bright blue and she had 6 teeth.
~At age 2, her hair was blond but had a little bit of a red tint to it. It also had a little bit of a wave/flip to it. She still didn't have enough to even warrant a trim, but it was finally coming in. Her eyes were still clear blue. She had all her first year teeth but no second year molars in sight.
~At age 3, her hair is still blond with a red tint. It definitely has a curl/flip to it at the bottom which when you let it grow, looks crazy cute (or sometimes just crazy). She has had a trim and 2 haircuts now. Her eyes are still a beautiful blue. She finally started getting her second year molars about 3 months ago - she has 2 of them in now and we are still waiting on the other 2.
Milestones:
~At birth she was good at nursing, sleeping, and making dirty diapers.
~At age 1, she could crawl, say 3 words, drink out of a sippy cup, stand up, walk holding onto things, turn pages in a book, eat in a high chair, and feed herself with finger foods.
~At age 2, she could walk, run, jump, do a somersault, throw a ball, kick a ball, feed herself with silverware, open doors, drink out of a regular cup, walk up and down stairs alone, sleep in a toddler bed, eat in a booster seat, sing a few songs, count to 10, put on/take off some of her clothes, answer simple questions, follow instructions, talk on the phone, choose between 2 options, name objects and body parts, say about 400-500 words, and talk in 3-4 word sentences.
~At age 3, she can do all the things she could do at age 2, but better. She runs faster, jumps higher, throws a ball with aim, etc. She can climb, ride a bike with training wheels, stand on one foot, and hop. She no longer uses a booster seat at the table and can climb into the car and strap herself into her carseat. She sings more songs than I can remember, counts to 30, recognizes some letters, negotiates, knows how to share, recognizes when something is different or isn't right, knows all her colors and shapes, sings the alphabet, recites her favorite books/stories, answers questions from adults and kids, talks to other kids, plays with other kids, pretend plays, makes up songs/words/stories, wants to do things by herself, understands good vs bad, knows consequences, draws circles and straight lines, and problem solves. She is fully potty trained. She can say her name, Mommy & Daddy's name, her age, and her gender. She can open the refrigerator to get out food, get her own water from the dispenser, help put away dishes and laundry, open doors, dress and undress herself, wash her hands, wash herself off in the shower, and brush her hair and teeth. She asks tons of questions about why and how things are the way they are, asks permission for things, says please and thank you, states favorites, gives opinions, tells feelings, remembers things from months ago, and talks in paragraphs (as my mother-in-law puts it). She helps with Hailey by bringing me things I ask for, sings when Hailey is crying, shows her toys, and throws away diapers.
