how have you been?

How is everyone doing? I hope you all are doing good. Sorry I have not wrote since New years Day.  Things got busy and there was times that Jelly Bean would not let me get on the laptop to make a post. It always seems like everytime the laptop comes out she is trying to climb up in my lap. But that is okay.
Like I said that things has been busy. We got busy with carrying Jelly Bean to the park on the warm days. I am so surprised at how warm this winter has been this year. Dont get me wrong there has been some cold days but not like it usually is. It just doesnt really feel like winter here in Alabama. But glad that we have been able to get out (that is when it is not raining) of the house. It has been nice. and Jelly Bean loves going to the park. Like this pass week at this one park we go to Jelly Bean got to chasing after the ducks and saying ucks. She does not have the d sound down yet.
I love hearing Jelly Bean say words. She can say fish but it is more like ish. We have been trying to get her to sound out the whole word. I know the more we help her out on trying to say it right she will get the hang of it. I got us some flash cards to help her out with learning numbers, letters, and some words. The other day she brings them to me and wanting to learn. I love how she loves to learn. She can say sock and it actually sounds like sock lol. She can also say pants. She knows where her nose is at and where her lips is at and belly and cheeks. She also knows where her eyes and ears are at to. If you ask her where her hair is out she will put her hands in hair and smile. She is growing up so fast. She is actually in size 2t now in some of her clothes. Her 18 months still fit her some. But we have been trying to buy up 2t clothes for her to have also.
Jelly Bean had a valentine's day pageant like two weeks ago and she got queen in her age group. She also got some side awards. most photogenic and prettiest hair and most beautiful.  She also got buddy supreme to with another little girl in a optional that we decided to do. On the buddy supreme what they did was combined the scores with the buddy you enter in and the highest total got the buddy supreme. (I think there was like four buddies that got this reward. ) So Jelly Bean got two crowns and two sashes and three side awards. We was surprised that she got all that as she did not have a good day that day. She did not want to walk on the stage. She did not want to wear her shoes and she also would not take the pacifier out her mouth.
speaking of the pacifier she has not had it during the day the pass two weeks. She gets it at bed time but that is it. Maybe in a few weeks she will not have it at bed time. I think once we get the pacifier took a way from her we will start the potty training. She already acts like she is ready to potty train at times. She will hide when she poops at times. You can ask her if she needs a diaper change and she will grin at you. So maybe in a few months we can start the potty training process.
That is how we have been. How have you been?
