.:Remi–2.5 Years Old:.

Oh, how I love this feisty girl!

Remi is just turning into such a little girl lately. Her speech has reeeeaaalllly taken off! She is speaking in sentences a lot of the time, and in general, is so much happier because she can communicate with us. I guess she really was listening and learning all the time! We still get some of her jibberish when she gets really excited about something, but overall, she is a talking fool! She’s caught us by surprise by knowing some of her colors and being able to count! Go Rem!

Even with her improved speech, Remi still has plenty of attitude! She has started to swipe at people when she is upset about something, and often when you ask her to do something, she responds by blowing a raspberry your direction and running away. Such a little stinker! She did it her first day of nursery in our new ward, which made me laugh! Get used to it, nursery leaders!

For some reason, Remi does not like to get her picture taken. Usually she will get mad at me, hide her face, or run away. She’s getting a bit more tolerant, but not usually to the point that she will smile. Mostly she’ll just stare at you like, “Get this over with already, would you?” Just fits our Rem!

Remi is our shoe girl! She is obsessed with shoes! It is a constant battle to get her to stay out of the closet, switching out her shoes every ten minutes. She will often fall asleep wearing shoes, and loves to try on any adult shoes that she can find laying around as well.

Remi and Reece are just the best of friends. I love watching them play together, using their imaginations, and having their little conversations. It is so cute! They love to dress up and ‘go to the beach’ or play house. Remi can often be found wearing a pair of shoes, a dress up dress halfway on, pushing the stroller around the house. She also loves to make Harper laugh and smile.

We just love our beautiful, red headed Rem and can’t imagine our lives without her!
