2 years old

Well Alina turns 2 years old next week. I can't beleive my baby is going to be so grown up.

She's talking a lot more these days. Kind of a little parrot. She doesn't do sentences, but she comments in two word responses sometimes. She's really good at saying 'No, Daddy'.

We started swim lessons 2 weeks ago so she will be ready for the summer and going to the beach a few times. She has learned climb out of the pool with help, kick, stick her face in the water...but she REALLY loves to jump in. So funny. She comes up smiling and sputtering water. We swim and practice bubbles too. She's not so good at that yet, but coming along. The days we do swim lessons she is very worn out and she sleeps like a log.

I've been looking for the Terrible Twos signs, and there have been a few, and they are just now showing up. If we use the No word, she fusses and cries sometimes. She's also getting into the 'Must have Mommy' mode and doing the leg leech. I get ready to go in the morning and she waits until my arms are full and wants to be picked up. But I love her inquisitivness which is showing so strongly.

She's interested in everything. Ever since Easter, she has been egg obsessed. She will still carry her basket around and put all her plastic eggs on the floor and then put them all back. She can spend 20 minutes with one egg, open close..open close. Such a funny bunny.

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. Hope you are all well.
