Crazy Heidi

Heidi is such a funny kid- she's our little spitfire! She loves to dress up, and I don't mean in the normal princess way. She likes to dress up in Ben's clothes, hats, sunglasses, goggles, dad & mom's shoes/hats, Kate's hats and anyone else's shoes she meets. She will actually ask them for their shoes! Every day she makes us laugh with her outfit of the day. While she likes to dress up, she also likes to be naked and takes her clothes off repeatedly. At least she always puts them in the laundry hamper and her diaper in the trash :) When she started to wake up naked, we decided to put her to bed in a onesie- so much for the cute pj's! She loves to play with her babies too. She pushes them in the stroller, feeds them bottles and sleeps with them. She is also very quick- she runs fast, can tear apart a cabinet or a drawer in no time and disappears in an instant. When we can't hear her, we know she is into something because otherwise she is super loud. Ben says, "Mom, Heidi must be into mischeif!" She puts everything in her mouth, and I mean everything. The other night we were at Big Spoon yogurt and someone spilled the container of Jelly Beans. Heidi was scooping them off the floor and into her mouth so fast. She got a little upset when the lady started sweeping them up. She is doing better with her hearing aids and will keep them in for hours at a time instead of minutes. She talks a lot, but we need to work on her speech sounds, She'll be in a speech therapy play group this year which I'm sure she'll love because she likes playing with other kids. I can't believe she is going to be 2 already; she's growing up to be quite a little lady!
