• can identify most facial body parts
• walking up and down stairs on her own (holding the wall) or with help
• coloring without eating the writing instruments
• jumps like a frog a lot
• runs really well
• even tries out Ada's bikes and scooters
• Overall she's just pretty physically able.
• Fearless with slides. Seriously does any of them, all by herself. I think it's the cutest thing.

Obsessions

• Still prefers mom, but has eased up a bit.
• Still obsessed with her puppy, along with her penguin and sleep sack.
• Real dogs. She loves to see them whenever she goes on my walk with me.
• Cookies. Def her favorite dessert.
• Shoes, specifically shoes that are too big for her.

Random Tidbits

• We went to Hawaii! And she slept so much, it was crazy. Even had a day where she slept in til like 10am! It was actually super nice because she basically slept whenever we needed her to/laid her down. But she was a little fussy and clingy while there and after -- I think she was a little apprehensive about being in a new space! She also got sick with a fever on the last day of the trip, which was sad, and ended up with Hand-Foot-Mouth as soon as we got back home.
• She copies everything Ada does. 
• Her hair is losing its curl! Sad day. But I did start doing it a new way (pictured at the top) and I LOVE IT. SO stinking cute and I can't believe I never did Ada's hair that way.
• She makes a duck noise.
• She roars for the sound of most animals, but she does "woof" like a dog.
• She thinks the computer cursor is a fly and tries to whack it. It's hilarious.
• She gets the tiniest pieces of toilet paper and kind of blows her nose into them 😂
• She does the cutest "wheels on the bus" hand motion.
• The first week she went to nursery, she was fine. Then the next 2-3 weeks, she was not fine. This was weird for us because Ada always loved it! But now Holly is fine to go :)
• She gives the cutest cheek kisses. Almost every night, she'll kiss both my cheeks back and forth, over and over 😍
• Eating: Still loves oranges. Also loves applesauce. But I still consider her a picky eater. She'll eat something really well one day, and then not the next day. Super annoying!
• Sleep: Solidly on one nap now. For a few weeks, we still did the morning rest, but for the last few weeks, we haven't even done that. She wakes between 6:20&6:45am, naps from 12:15-2:15pm, and goes to bed at 7pm. She falls asleep instantly for her nap, but takes 10-40 minutes to fall asleep at night.
