Melita at two.

Even through it's been over two months since Melita turned 2, I only just took these "two year pictures" on Friday.  She also had her two year well-baby checkup on Friday.  She is in the 50th to 60th percentile on both height and weight and appears to be well and healthy.  Her ear ache/infection problems have hopefully disappeared now.  She did have one shot that we hadn't gotten yet and she didn't even change expression when the needle went into her leg.  So the only one who lost any sleep over it was me, I guess!  ;)  So, now that's over and we can move on with life!

So, here is a list. 

There is SO much I want to remember...

-How she shows her love so sincerely and deeply.  Kisses, hugs, cuddles, and a sweet little voice "I wuv you".

-The way she loves to ride in Daddy's "kick-up", and the way she wants to be with him all the time when he's home.

-The way she begs, cries, and pleads to go "outside, outside, outside"! She loves the sand box, the trampoline, her Strider, the dog and kittie, the grass, the rocks, Daddy's greenhouse and tomato plants, and on and on and on...

-The way she giggles and laughs and smiles.

-The way she cries and pouts and throws a fit every now and then. (No, she's not perfect, she's two.)

-The way she loves her new cousin Baby Kendra whom she only knows through pictures and facetime.

-The sweet little songs that she sings when I put her to bed at night.

-Her constant questians throughout the day..."Go to da Libwawy?",  "Go to meeting now?", "Whewe Maya go?", "Colter outside?", "Get Kyla at skoowo?" etc...

-The way she says "No nap!", very definately, but then cuddles her head in my neck and then quietly nestles into her blankie.  Sometimes she sleeps and sometimes she plays all nap time.

-The way she jumps on the trampoline, jumps off of chairs, jumps (tries to) with a jump rope.

-The way she LOVES on her brother and sisters.

-The way she answers her favorite question "What's the most precious book in all the world?"  She throws her hand up in the air "The Biboe!"

-The way she tells me, "Mommy, cose your eyes!", "Mommy, open your eyes!", and on and on...

-The way she says "nack tap, nack tap" (snack trap) when she wants a snack and "dink a wader/duice/miwk" when she wants a drink.

I will try to remember more things to record later...

Have a great week!
