Just celebrated a 2nd Birthday for M! Seems like yesterday that I held my tiny little baby in my arms for the first time in the hospital with her dark hair and her squishy daddy W face. I can't believe I just celebrated her 2nd birthday. Her birthday party was fun- Florida Keys with cousins galore and a tasty underwater themed cake- but the real surprise was how grown up my little baby seemed already the next day. Her vocabulary has exploded and her ability to do and say and express things for herself is exciting to experience. Right now she is infatuated with stickers and tattoos, with "da-da-da-da-Dora" and "go-go-go-Diego" and with her big cousin E. She loves taking photos with her elmo camera and with mommy's camera too. Her favorite food is "monkey cheese and hotdogs".. big surprise, right? She is starting to use the potty everyday and started pre-school this week. Yikes! What a grown-up!!

I love being her mom and I love every minute I get to spend with her. I only hope time slows down just a little bit so I can savor every moment with my baby.

Milena is a complete chatterbox these days and her new favorite work is "AWESOME!!" as in picking strawberries is.... AWESOME!! or hanging out with dad is... AWESOME!!! She also like to point out colors, shapes, things that are dirty, wet or icky. She loves being in "Nena's house" most of the time and insists on doing everything herself. Watermelon and tortillas are the favorite menu items right now.. not necessarily together :-). She has a blast picking strawberries this last weekend and picked and ate, picked and ate for about an hour non-stop. I was worried we were going to have a massive stomach ache on our hands but she was just fine.. stems and all! You can see the evidence all over her happy, juicy red face!
