Makeup artist

I think Makaylee's big brother was a partner in crime and got into my purse. He gave her my makeup and she figured out how to open the eyeshadow/lip gloss combo. I was pretty impressed she did a great job with application and the makeup was only on her face.

Her emotional and verbal development
Makaylee daily surprises me with her ability to express her desires. She isn't saying a lot of words that you can really differentiate, but she talks a ton. She will get to speaking so fast at times it sounds similar to the Chinese language.

She is pretty sensitive and doesn't like to be disciplined. She just cries and holds me anytime she gets into trouble. However, she still is determined to do whatever it is she wants to do and loves to test the boundaries.

Her sizes and physical development
-18 month clothes
-5 shoes. She can still squeeze into 3 and is comfortable in 4, but her favorite shoes are fives.
-She is still dainty, but seems to be catching up in height.
-She has most of her teeth. Still waiting for 2 i teeth on the bottom. One has peeked through.
-Ears seem to be doing well, but wax is out of control. (sorry sister)
-She has a permanent sweater on. Her sweet little back is so hairy and black hair. (super sorry sister, but I wanted to reminder this.)

Her interests
Caleb and Makaylee are becoming such buds. She still thinks her brother is pretty special, but it has been neat to watch Caleb really enjoy playing and sharing with his sister. They still have their moments daily, but he is starting to understand the joys of having a sister. I often think of the sweetness of their relationship and look forward to watching it grow through the years. It melts my heart to see them sit on the couch cuddled next to each other. It is always short lived, but on the rare occasion it occurs there is not much that compares for this Mommy.

She is into everything her brother likes, but has also starting to be curious about girly things. She loves shoes, hand bags and makeup. She is her mother's daughter.
