GROWING UP

Alayna is now 17 months old. She is no longer our baby girl, she is now our toddler. Everyday I realize how much more she is growing up. She does things that totally amaze me and I think where did she learn that! She definitely knows what she wants now and makes sure we understand that too.

Here are some of the latest things that she has done that have blown my mind:

She had a runny nose last week. She sneezed and instantly went to the end table and started pointing to the tissues. She wasn't satisfied until I got a tissue and wiped her nose.

Last night I told her that it was time for bed. She took me by the hand and led me right to the steps to go upstairs. I guess she was more ready than I realized!!

Today, I was typing on the computer and looked up to her handing me a giant box of Goldfish crackers. This box is kept in our snack cabinet which had the doors pulled shut. She had figured out how to open it and brought them to me because she was hungry. Wow, I couldn't believe it. I guess we have to figure out how to put a latch on those doors.

In addition to all of the above antics, she has a wonderful little personality. She loves to be chased and to play hide and seek. Of course, you have to hide, she hasn't figured out what her hiding means yet. She also loves being tickled and playing ball. She is becoming a little social butterfly too. She is so much fun. We are enjoying every minute!!
Easter 2008

Alayna really enjoyed Easter this year. She was fascinated by her Easter basket. She didn't know what to get out first. It is so neat to see her excitement.
