Montanna has grown up so much this last year,. Physically she is much taller than she was last year as her pants were getting shorter and shorter and the arms of her shirts higher and higher. We love all of the new clothes she was given for her birthday and looks like such a grown up little girl. Her conversations have become more complex and she has started the "why" phase. She asks why for everything. It is goot that she is inquisitive and curious, but sometimes it gets to be a little bit much.
She is an amazing big sister to Eden. She is very protective of her and loves to play with her. I love that they play so well together now. They laugh and giggle and fight and cry, but they love each other so much. She still is a little rough every once in a while, but is learning her boundaries and what is fun for Eden and what isn't.
Montanna loves animals. We have some little border collie puppies here that are about 7 months old and they get so excited when they see Montanna that they tip her over and lick her face. It scares her to death, but she wants to see those puppies all the time. She keeps going back for more and more. A normal little kid would want to stay as far away from those animals as possible, but she just loves them. She must have got that gene from her Dad. I loved animals and growing up on a farm, but not to the extent of Adam and Montanna. I wouldn't be surprised if she did something with animals someday. Although she says she wants to be a doctor when she grows up so she can help people with bad coughs.
Montanna is learning new words and theor meanings every day. Sometimes she gets things a little mixed up, but other times she sounds really intelligent for a little 3 year old. Sge was talking to Adam the other day and said, " Daddy why are you all wet? Adam said, "Because it was raining outside and I forgot my coat." and she said" You look horrendous!"
We have been having a little bit of trouble with Eden and so she has heard the word "constipated" said around our house. When we aren't doing or saying something she likes she will look at us and say," Daddy, you aren't very constipated right now." It has made us laugh a couple times now.
Montanna got a bucket of letters for her birthday and is starting to learn her letters and still loves to read books all the time. She LOVES TV and would watch it all the time if we let her. I have had to limit her time in front of the screen and most days she gets to watch a movie while I am doing something, but I am so glad that we don't have regular tv at our house. I really think it would be a problem. She loved visiting Grandma and Papa though and watching TV at Bull Creek and Aunt Belynda's house.
She loves to be in the kitchen with me and is very good at helping me bake and cook things She likes to dump in whatever needs to go in the mixer and loves to roll out bread or rolls. She often does this when she is playing and will pretend to be baking rolls. I can tell she is going to be a good kitchen helper.
Montanna still needs lots of sleep and is so much happier when she takes a nap and gets some good rest. Eden almost always is the first to wake up from a nap and in the morning. She loves to be outside and explore and her favorite thing to do right now is find poofy dandelions to blow all over the place. She is our amazing little girl who is growing up way too fast. We love her so much and are so glad that she is a part of our family, We don't know what we would do without her.
We love you so much Montanna! Happy 3rd Birthday!
