Loki's update

Since I've been posting so much about Odin, I figured Loki really deserved an update.

Potty Training
 - kind of at a halt due to her being terrified of the toilet and scared of her potty. No idea why the toilet is so scary, but it is. She's even lery of the training potty right now. So we've put it up for a little while, and will bring it out again soon when she seems more 'ready' to try again.

Talking
 - Not much around strangers, but you get her going and she's off just like her daddy. Her newest and most used right now are "we're here" "help" and "more please"
 - Most common thing for me to say to her...."Careful!" (she's started climbing, everything)

Almost 2
 - It's coming up so quick, only 6 days and my little girl will be 2. Where does the time go?

Comprehension
 - She may not have much more than 20 words she uses, but she understands most of what we ask or tell her. It was actually rather shocking when I realized it. It's kind of nice to talk to her like she understands and then actually have it start happening.

Crayons and coloring
 - Oh my does she love her coloring. So much so we have had to take crayons away a few times due to coloring on the cabinets. So she's on a strict crayon ration and is only allowed two warnings now before they get taken away (warnings come from coloring on anything other than the books, like for instance the windows or floor.)

Daddy's little girl
 - She loves her daddy, no doubt about that. Anyone who sees them together can tell. All she wanted to do on tuesday was sit in his lap and make him read to her. Needless to say he didn't really get much DnD reading done, but I think he read about the crocodile wanting to find his mommy at least 15 times. If he wasn't reading to her, she was happy to lay next to him on her tummy (same as daddy) and watch him work on his character creating.  Most of the time though she was just trying to steal his pencil to 'write' on the paper.

Eating
 - Loki is almost a picky as her daddy, but she's doing very well with eating with a fork, not as good with a spoon, but the majority of the food makes it to her mouth. Most of the time with the fork she stabs the food then grabs it and eats with her fingers, which is cute, but not exactly what's supposed to happen, but I suppose so long as she's eating and happy everything will come out in the wash and she'll get it eventually.
 - She does love cooked carrots, not a big fan of broccoli, but she can't get enough corn, and every once in a while we can sneak a green bean in without her noticing.

Doctor Update
 - She is officially 34.75 inches tall and 28.75 lbs. Her height has gotten much better than the last visit, and she's gaining weight well. (mom's scale had her much heavier, so I'm thinking mom's scale lies.)
