Like I've said a million times I can't believe how fast time is flying by. It's hard to believe that Leah is 2 years old already! It seems like just yesterday she was this fragile little thing!
Now a days I don't think "fragile" is a word we use for Leah! She's still really tall for her age (just under 3 ft) and she runs, jumps and plays as much or more than my boys ever did. She falls all the time (most of the time on purpose) and we're all wondering how she hasn't had to have stitches yet! I'm sure it's coming.
She is so much fun though. She loves to help in the kitchen and does a great job for her age. She's very careful about pouring things and loves to lick the spoon at the end.
She's really interested in movies and TV shows now. She loves Finding Nemo, Thomas the Train, Seasame Street, Ice Age and many others. She even laughs at parts that are funny. I'm always amazed at how much she actually understands about what she's watching...which is kind of bad too. We've had to be careful to make sure she's not watching something that may give her bad dreams later on.
She has this funny little personality that comes out during her "non-grumpy" times. She also makes the funniest faces that can make anyone laugh.
She really loves her brothers and interacts with them more and more. It so fun to see them with her. Even though she doesn't talk much she can get her point across to them and to us...and really to anyone. It would be nice if she could talk a little more though. She tends to get frustrated with us when we don't know what she wants. But I'm sure one of these days we'll be sorry we ever thought that!
She knows more sign language than actual words I think. Her speaking vocabulary is pretty basic: mommy, daddy, bye, yes, no, side (means in or out)...oh and the 2 most important words:
mine and shoes.
She's turned into a real girly-girl lately. She LOVES shoes. I mean loves. It's the first thing she asks for when she wakes up. She loves to help pick out her clothes and sometimes even what goes in her hair. She loves to wearing plastic rings & bracelets around too. We find them all over the house. Along with her toys & books.
But as much as she's girly she's still our crazy Leah.
We had a little birthday party for her during a dinner at my mom's house the other night. She caught on pretty quick to the fact that if she unwraps the present she gets what's inside:
And I think she liked her cake too:
But she didn't like our singing!
Can't wait to see what the future holds!
Love you Leah! Happy Birthday!
