Rash

Mommy and Daddy had to take me to urgent care today.  I woke up from my nap covered in a full body rash.  My pediatrician couldn't find anything wrong with me.  I had no other symptoms.  They decided it was probably from a cold virus that had been going around.  The rash is gone now but it left several blisters on my feet.  Very weird.  Mommy tried taking a picture of me at urgent care but you couldn't even tell I had a rash because the camera flash paled my skin out.  Instead, she improvised and made up her own reenactment.  Haha.

A work in progress.

Christmas Tree Hunting

What's new:  Mommy just taught me how to sing "Jingle Bells".  I belt it out like a champ!  I just had my first pony ride and loved every minute of it.  I am a very good eater but up until this past week I wouldn't touch hamburger.  Now I can't get enough of it.   I love "aminals".

Library Fun With Ahna

Our Mommy's took us to the new Vancouver Public Library today.  They have a a great kids area packed with all sorts of fun.  Mommy applied for a new library card and I checked out 3 books.  I can't wait to go back again soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

What's new:  I love "grabey" on my mashed potatoes.  It is "dawicious".  I am saying up to 6 word sentences now.  One of these days I will be diaper free.  I have been doing much better on my own without Mommy or Daddy pressuring me to use the potty.  Instead I am taking the initiative to go all by myself.

Christmas Card Preview

We took our 2011 holiday pictures today.  Here are a few from the session.  Nope, you don't get to see the official Christmas card picture yet.  It is a surprise.

Parker's Monster Mash

I had my first KIDS ONLY party tonight.  It was a monster themed birthday party for Parker.  Mommy was a bit uneasy when leaving and apparently she had every right to be.  Forty-five minutes after leaving she got "the call".  I was crying for Mommy and Brandie tried everything she could to make me feel better but nothing worked.  Mommy brought Daddy back to the party and decided after having cupcakes it was time to go.  I didn't really want to play with all the other kids.  I must have been overwhelmed with everything.  Maybe next year I will be more confident. 

What's new:  I am obsessed with Mickey Mouse Club House.  I know the intro to every episode by heart.  I can't say "marbles", instead I say "margles".  I can tell you my full name and how old I am.  I am learning how to do chores like, emptying the bathroom garbage and helping Mommy dry dishes and swap laundry.  I can not only do a perfect saumersault but can also do a bridge.  Mommy and Daddy think it is pretty amazing.  I am jumping a lot, jumping over things, jumping off of things and even galloping.

Daughter

We wish you the strength to
face challenges with confidence...
choose your battles carefully...
We wish you adventure 
on your journey 
and may you always
stop to help someone 
along the way...
Listen to your heart
and take risks carefully...
Remember how much
you are loved...
We are so proud of you.

Love,
Mommy & Daddy

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

The Bath Tub Won

I had just finished my bath, stood up for Mommy to wrap my towel around me and missed the no-slip mat.  It only took us 1 hour to get in and out of the emergency room on a Saturday night.  3 stitches total.

Funny Face

What's New:  I am putting together 4 and 5 word sentences.  I can distinguish my left from my right.  I know all of the colors of the rainbow.  Just the other day Nana started quizzing me on my alphabet in sign language and I actually knew several of the letters.  I sing all the time, even making up my own songs.  I am really starting to come out of my shy shell.  People aren't kidding when they say "terrible two's".  Instantly after my 2nd birthday Mommy told me that if I keep this up, bipolar meds may be in my near future.  Hardy har har, Mommy.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Ahna!

2 Year Check Up

I went to see my pediatrician today for a two year check up.  


On my way there, Mommy told me that we were going to see the Doctor.  
I automatically announced "No more monkey's jumping on the bed!"  


If you aren't familiar with this song, it goes like this.


Ten little monkeys jumping on the bed.
One fell off and broke his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"


(Repeat and count down until there are no monkey's left on the bed.)


This song has been one of my favorites lately.


My height was 36 1/2" (97%) and my weight was 28.4lbs.  (71%)  Mommy was concerned that my shyness might effect the doctors evaluation but I was very outgoing and listened to Dr. Mason like a good girl.  He told me that I was exceptionally bright and in perfect health.  I pointed out colors for him and Mommy told him about all of my other skills, like counting to 20 and being able to say the entire alphabet on my own.  He was very impressed.  Over all, the visit to the doctor was a great one.


What's new:  I love hair-pwanes (airplanes) and it makes me sad when I hear babies cwhyning (crying).
