L & M | 2 yrs + 3

Last week, the girls hit the 27 month mark.  It may seem trivial to still think of their age in months.  Two is two right?  Not when you are talking about a toddler growing and changing everyday.  Months, days, weeks, even hours are far from trivial.  They are precious moments meant to be remembered and shared.

Lily, you are such an entertainer.  You love to run around and just be crazy!  Your size may not show it, but you eat A L L the time.  There is always a snack or juice in hand and yet you still somehow manage to scarf down your lunch and dinner.  You have a sister who likes to talk a lot and talk for you as well.  Three months ago, you were not saying anything other than Mama or Dada and now I hear you saying mil (milk), juu (juice), ku (cup), sii (when you want me to sit with you), haa (hat), tay-too (thank you), Gama (grandma) Papa, Wowa (Lola, my mom), Wowo (Lolo, my dad), Tee (Auntie) and gu-cle (uncle). At school, you are such a little miss independent.  Whenever you see me,  you always smile and wave from a far.  You're always surrounded by friends and you are always at the very top of the equipment.  You are a fearless daredevil.  It makes me nervous sometimes seeing you do the things you do.  I love you so, so much.  

Mia, Mia, Mia.  Where do I even begin with you?  You have become such a parrot lately and I cautiously have to watch what I say around you.  Dancing is your thing.  You love music and you love showing off your dance moves no matter who is watching.  Even if it is in a crowded restaurant and you want your daddy to get up and dance with you.  You still love "Shake it Off", but you can't help but request the "honeybee" song.  (I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee...)  When you are not pushing your sister away, you are completely and utterly sweet with her.  You give her hugs and kisses. And you even take her hand when she seems a little weary of where she is.  I love that when you see me at school, you yell out, "Mama, hug.  Kiss Mama, kiss, with your lips puckered."  it gets me every time.  Anytime Lily does something, you always yell, " Mia turn."  You can count to 12 and you can count to 3 in tagalog.  You amaze me everyday.  I love you so, so much.

Here is a photo dump of our week.

Our Sunday began with donuts from our favorite spot, JK Donuts.

They discovered "The Bowl" while I was making brownies.

Wagon rides are my favorite.

Sneaking in to mommy and daddy's bed.

Getting ready to go to "skoo"

I am very fortunate to get to see these girls at school.

I can't help being the "stalker mom" and taking photos of them.

My sassy little fashionista.  "Smile for Mama."  "No" " Say Cheese."  "No."

After bath time, she went through my drawers and put on my shorts...

Brings a whole new meaning to "booty" shorts.

And on that note, I hope you have a B O O T Y full day.

With love,

Angela
