26 month update


I can't believe Aliya is 26 months old today... It amazes me how much she is growing and changing every day. Below are just a few things she's picked up over the past month.

*Putting 3-4 words together to make sentences, not always making sense, but talking more every day. Her new phrase is, "Aliya eat time" and "You stop it now" (of course that one comes through clear as day!)
*Completely transitioned into her 2/3 year old class at church and LOVES it! Her tears at drop off last about 3 seconds and then she's fine!
*Talks about church all week long, talks about her friends, the songs and the animal crackers...
*Her reasoning skills are improving and she's understanding time lines of events.
*Has started singing along with us, not just asking us to sing then screams for us stop once we start.
*Bowling (both at home with her toy, on the wii or at the alley) is her new favorite sport!
*She is naked at least 60% of the time (at least from the waist down) and loves to sit on her new Dora potty seat (that fits on our toilet), nothing happening yet, but we're on it enough sooner or later something's bound to happen!
*LOVES to talk on the phone to anyone who will listen
*Has started saying "Halloww" (Hello) every time she walks into the room, it's really cute!
*Is miss independent with EVERYTHING, "Aliya do it"
*Loves to help
*When looking for something that she can't find, she shrugs her shoulders and says, "daddy hab it"
*Still has her night night, but is doing much better about not taking it everywhere. :)

I'm sure there are a million more things she's doing, but I'm drawing a blank! New pictures to follow soon!
