Forty Adorable Things Our Toddler Does

Our daughter is now two years and nine months. Time really does fly. Who would have thought our once cutie baby is now an adorable toddler. She’s now our big baby girl.


There are a lot of things that our toddler does that I just couldn’t simply capture on video. That’s why I have enumerated forty adorable things she has been doing which we could look back to when she would have become older.


The Adorable Things She Does During Mealtime…


  • How she observes the spoon first to check if there were pieces of meat (and how she exaggerates her cringes when there really is meat)

  • How she becomes upset with you for about one minute and then forget about it the next second
  • When she says “I love you” when you least expect it


Cherish Every Adorable Moment


Every day can be a surprising moment as our toddler gradually becomes a little girl. We, as parents, just let her sing her heart out, jump to her heart’s content (with supervision, of course), and just be plain silly. We don’t inhibit whatever things she does that make her very happy.


There are still a lot of adorable things to mention. Maybe I could write down another set list to post next time. For now, we just enjoy these moments of cuteness overload! ?
