(2.5 hit late April, I'm late of course). Baby Tegan is no more. This girl is full on "big girl" as she often tells us (though pulls the "me a baby" line when convenient). She is full of energy, caring, wild, loving and never ceases to puts smiles on our faces. Some of what she's up to:
Likes:
Liam
Dad especially but mom is creeping back into the running
Playing baby (things that have served as a baby: water bottles, remotes, phones. All patted and rocked in true mom-fashion)
Playing with water
Mickey and Minnie Mouse
Hanging out with our friends (squeals of delight when she sees them!)
Doing things herself
Peanut butter by the spoonful
Trying to join us in our bed in the middle of the night (and basically sleep on Jeremiah's face)
Apple juice (and accompanying dance)
Mango juice (and accompanying dance)
Pancakes
Jumping, often down stairs
Joking around
Disney movies
Her nannies
Going out to eat
Bargaining for taxis and helping us directing them to our house ("300? No 200. Otay? Otay. Vroom vroom;" "Left left, right right")
Electronics
Rain
Going to the library
Books
Putting her own hair in a ponytail (you can imagine how well that works)
Chapstick and sunscreen

Bargaining (you offer 1 cookie, she'll counter you with a request for a least 1 more)
Dislikes:
People messing with her hair - either washing, cutting or putting up in clips
Keeping her shoes on
Not getting her own way
Stopping watching movies
Eating foods she doesn't remember she likes
Returning books to the library
When Liam plays with a toy that is hers that she never liked
Changing her clothes
Going to bed too early

She talks a lot! She spend a lot of time surrounded by adults who speak to her in both English and Nepali so she understands a fair bit of what her nanny says to her in Nepali though she doesn't speak it much. We even saw her do the head bobble Nepali people do to say yes/okay the other day.
She loves Liam - she talks to him, brings him toys, shows him things and can't wait for "him get bigger" so they can really play. There are moments that she doesn't want us to hold him so we can really play with her but for the most part she is very understanding.
Tegan is a blast to be with and we are so lucky to have her spunkiness in our lives.
