Leila at Two and a Half

     It seems like when I go to write these posts I forget everything I want to say about my kids.  Leila has changed so much in the last six months, I can't even believe it!  She is at the really cute talking stage.  Everything she says and how she says it is so cute.  It's fun to have conversations with her and see what she's understanding and how she's responding.  It's hard to capture the cuteness in words.  I love how she says  "wub oo" after I put her down and tell her "I love you."  She always wants me to sing "winkle" (Twinkle, twinkle...) and if I don't stroke her face while I sing she grabs my hand and it puts it on her face.  If you ask her a question she'll respond a lot of times with "I no no" (I don't know).   She still tells me when she goes potty and if she went "yellow" or "brown".  She loves her colors and is very demanding when it comes to picking a plate or cup when we eat.  She'll usually request "kink" next best choice is blue. She is constantly pointing out colors to me.  She loves the "hi-pad" and watches "pida man" and "kitty cat" (aristocats) on it.  She also is obsessed with the princesses as I've mentioned before.  I'll let the girls listen to Disney Pandora station sometimes and as soon as a princess song comes out she immediately names the princess that the song goes too.  

     She's sleeping in "Kenya's bed" now, the lower bunk in Kenya's room, which is officially their room now.  She's doing really well in her big girl bed.  It took her a few times but she's usually pretty good about coming out when she wakes up and down to our room with out waking up Kenya.  She wakes up around 6:30 most mornings and Kenya is my one child that will usually sleep in until 7:30 or 8:00.  She only wore pull ups for the first 6 weeks or so after she was potty trained and has been really good at naps and night.  She won't even put a pull up on if we try.  


This was after Disneyland, which enhanced the princess loving even more.  This is her "I know you" dress, she's singing and dancing with her prince.



Charlie is cute with her and wanted her to dance with him.


Kenya took this candid picture on my phone.  All snuggled up.  She will sit and watch shows at anyones request but she also loves to be outside and playing with Kenya, cousins, neighbors.  She just doesn't request or demand it.  She does however request shows. :) 

Bath time is great around here.  She can be in there for up to an hour sometimes.  Love it.

She is growing up so fast!  I can't believe she's not going to be my baby anymore.  I got kind of sad the other day when I was moving all of her clothes out of her room and into Kenya's.  How are the days so long and the years so quick?  Although she has her two year oldisms that make it difficult, over all she has been such a fun little toddler.  She has been my one that is a little bit attached to me, she makes me feel loved.  :)  Love this little one so much.
