I can't believe that my lil' angel turned 2 yesterday!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AYLA!!
2 years ago at this time I was in the hospital holding my lil' newborn angel. Ayla truly is an angel from God. Chris and I thought we would never have anymore kids after Lil' Chris was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, but God had other plans for us. We are sooooo blessed to have her in our lives!! God truly blessed her to not have Cystic Fibrosis. I believe she will be Lil' Chris' angel as they grow older, esp when Mommy and Daddy aren't around. She will help guide him in the right direction with all his meds, his exercise, and his relationship with God.

We had a great day yesterday with a few exceptions of the terrible two's starting already;-) LOL! I had off work, so we spent the day playing and then after nap the party began!! Oma and Opa came over and so did our friends John and Andrea and they brought their 1 1/2 year old "niece" Reese. She is such a cutie pie and the kids had a BLAST running around and playing:)
We had dinner, cake, and then Ayla opened all her presents!! She did a Great job opening her presents, Christmas was a good practice;) LOL! She got lots of fun toys and she got her first pair of high heels;-) That's right....I said heels!! LOL! All the kids had fun playing with them...even Lil' Chris...not too sure Daddy was too happy about that tho;-) LOL!!
Today we had so much fun playing with all the new toys! All the toys HAD to wear the tiara;) LOL! Lil' Chris liked playing with the barbies....shhhhh....he liked playing with the wheel too, that's boyish;-) Ayla really liked playing with all the princess stuff and wearing her high heels:)
Here's what Ayla has been up to lately:
- She still loves to suck on her right pointer finger and cuddle with her blanky when she gets sleepy
- She loves her bear(actually is was Lil' Chris' bear). She calls is "Ba Bear" ???
- She loves to pull out the bears hair, it's got a lot of bald spots;) lol
- She repeats pretty much everything you say to her but makes it into a question by making her cute lil' voice go up at the end;-)
- She loves baths and doesn't mind the water in her face
- She hates getting her picture taken and will put up her hand or just run away
- She has wild crazy curly hair...not sure where she got that from;-) lol
- She has gotten her bangs cut 2 times now...still trying to grow out the rest
- She loves to sit on my lap and watch TV and screams if Lil' Chris beats her to it;)
- Her weight and height is 26 lbs and 35 inches!!
- She loves to play and run around with her big brother
- She loves to eat
- She LOVES apple juice
- She says lots of words, but sometimes she doesn't say the end of the word, like for "hot dog" she'll say "hot do."
- She can do "angry eyes" very well .... and often;-) LOL
- She has the cutest lil' smile!!
- She is very lovable and snuggable:)
- Lately she likes to be rocked to sleep...shhhhh don't tell Daddy I do that;-) LOL!
- She calls Lil' Chris "Ca" like car without the r. She says it so much that she even has me saying it too sometimes!
- She's very polite and always says "thank you mommy" or "your welcome Ca" or "Bless you Mommy" even if I'm in the other room and I sneeze:)
- All I have to do is say the word "remote", and she runs and gets me the TV remote;)
- She LOVES to copy everything Lil' Chris does or says;-)
- She is growing like a weed!! She has been wearing 2T and 3T shirts and is in 24months or 2T pants!!
- She listens for the most part. If not, you start counting to 3 and she does whatever it is;)
- She is very considerate of others. If Lil' Chris falls or if anybody says "Ouch" she says "You okay?"
- She usually goes to bed around 8pm or 8:30pm and then wakes up around 8am or 8:30am
- She takes one nap a day usually from 1-3 or 4. Until recently(with the terrible two's coming;) she would usually go down for nap or bed no problem. The last few days, she has been doing what Lil' Chris does and calls us to come in there;( ARGGGG!
- She just learned to turn the door knob and open the doors
- She takes good care of her big brother already. When his Vest is done it's 30 minutes, she calls me until I come and take it off of him while she helps me:) She even tells him to take his pills sometimes;) "Take your pills Ca!"
- The best part is....she has been very healthy these last 2 years! PTL! I think she was only on an antibiotic once and that was recently for a little bit of fluid in her ear and a slight cough. I can't complain about that!!!!
I hope you enjoyed the montage...sorry it was so long, but my back hurts enough after sitting here typing all of this;-) LOL!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AYLA!!
Love,
Mommy
