Sage update

• loves to be outdoors.
• loves soup.
• loves to read nursery rhymes.
• reminds us to pray before every meal and insists on praying before her snacks too. 
• she is trying really hard to talk. Every once in a while she will surprise us and herself with a word, but then of course will not repeat it. She talks a lot of gibberish. 
• always wants to snack. we are trying to get her into a routine that she has one snack between meals and not snacking all day long. 
• does a cute push her hair out of her face thing that is adorable. 
• wearing mostly 12-18 month clothing. All of her fall clothes that I had got her are 18 months and are falling off her. 
• fights brushing her teeth now. We have to make it into a game and sing songs. 
• we are still working on getting her off the bottle. We are now diluting it 4 oz water and 2 oz milk.  We're slowly getting there... 
• is a monster in the car. We outgrew that stage long ago, but it looks like it is back! She insists on having a snack every time she gets in her carseat and constantly says, "mama mama mama" over and over and over again for no apparent reason, but to give us a headache. 
• loves peanut butter. She will lick it off her crackers, apples and bananas and ask for more before eating the actual snack.
• "ice-cream" is her newest sign and it is the cutest thing to see. She asked for ice-cream for breakfast the other morning...
• likes to wash her hands, but does not like her sleeves pushed up and wants them immediately pushed back down afterwards.
• is getting her bottom canines. When she got her top ones and now the bottom ones is the only time she has been fussy with teething. 
• is transitioning to one nap. we tried to transition to one nap months ago, but she still really needed two. 
• can be very stubborn.
• is loving testing the boundaries. For example, she tries to climb on the coffee table. She will put one foot up and look at us and smile. 
• gives the best squeezes (hugs), but only on her own time.
