24 things you may not know about Hartley!

Hartley is 2! Here are 24 things you may or may not know about the littlest piece of our heart...

1. Hartley's name is Hartley Elizabeth Gotbeter, Hartley is a family name that has been used for ages in our family, girls and boys! Elizabeth is my first name which has also been used for ages..
2. Hartley had quit the entrance into this world and has made her mark on it ever since.
3. Thomas and West were adamant she was a baby girl well before we knew she was.
4. Hartley was our first baby born with blond hair.
5. Just like her brothers she is a peanut wearing mostly 18 month clothes and 20 pounds.
6. Hartley is totally potty trained, #1 and #2, our earliest by 5 months!
7. Hartley has been called by many at our church my "hip baby"...
8. Because of her hip baby status, sister did not walk until she was 17 months old, can't walk if momma holds you all the time!
9. Hartley, like West is not a talker and is pretty far behind, also like West she understands everything you say and can communicate through sign language and other ways but not talking very well.
10. Hartley is our first baby to sleep in her crib, Thomas did a little bit but she spends much more time in there than either of them.  She is just a different little bird and has needed her space since she was teeny.
11. She is an ok eater.. I don't fight the food battle so some days she eats nothing, sometimes, something? You just never know.
12. Begs for cooooke, (coke) if she sees it, love meek, (milk), and loves fiber one bars.

15. Favorite song is "10 thousand reasons" by Matt Redman, will lift her hands in praise when she hears it.
16. Adores to be naked and her babies naked, she will throw down if you try to dress her or her babies...
17. Has a h-u-g-e personality, h-u-g-e...throws multiple fits, multiple times a day, challenges me in more ways than I knew were possible:)
18. Can burp and spit on demand and thinks it's hysterical.
19. Loves to wear a bow, thank goodness!
20. Folds her hands to pray if you ask her to.
21. Loves Tommy and wants only him when he is around.
