Kayla - 2 years old

"How old are you Kayla?"

"ine TWO!" 

This said while holding up 1 finger...

Well she is definitely 2!:-) She was 28 lbs 5 ounces at her checkup and was 37 1/4 inches (which is 3/4 inches shorter than Mattea, but about 6 lbs lighter!) So to us...she is our skinny mini...although when towering over others her age, I guess she is anything but!

this was her on Valentines Day with her present (in lieu of candy:-)) and their first time ever having ice cream at breakfast! Little do they know...it was frozen yogurt:-)

This was her on her first day of potty training...she started telling me in mid February that she needed to go but I wasn't quite ready to dive into it...so we went cold turkey on Feb 25th and she did great! Not a single daytime accident since Day 1! We try to train for naps/night at the same time, and she has done really well...she is consistently dry at her nap times, and although she is not 100% with her night times...she is pretty reliable as long as we make sure to wake her up to go before we go to bed. That makes 2 down...1 to go...YAY!:-D

She is our little sweetheart, full of love, kisses and hugs for anyone and everyone! But especially for her "Camey", who she loves on to the point of him hollering at her to stop:-P. She is also extremely thoughtful, never forgetting her sister and always bringing her things, and doing things for her. She is our cleaner...and can't walk away from a mess - a very handy trait I must say!!!

 She is also very polite and is constantly saying "k-weeze" (please) and "tank-du" (thank you). She seriously never forget. Along with..."I sooooo saw-wweee" (sorry), even for things that she didn't do!:-P

Now along with her sweetness, and loving emotions...comes a whole slew of other emotions! Lol...she can cry at the drop of a hat and is super sensitive to anything and everything! well...except pain, she can literally run into a wall and not even bat an eyelash..but in terms of her feelings...they seem to be in pain all the time!

All in all, she is pretty happy-go-lucky and people often ask us if she ever gets in trouble....and the answer is YES. SHE DOES. Lol...but then again... in the absence of her older sister, her crimes would probably be drastically reduced!

Much to Daddy's relief...she has finally proven that she is not colour blind! lol...she still throws out a few random colours every now and again, but is getting much better:-) She knows all her shapes very well...and actually can recognize all of her letters and also knows their sounds!

Kayla also loves to colour and is actually very thorough! She is quite opposite to Mattea who doesn't like to do anything that requires taking time...Kayla loves to sit down and figure things out, which makes puzzles, buckles, buttons, zippers etc some of her favourite things to do!

She also loves to play with her dolls, animals etc and take care of them...although we don't understand even half of what she is saying most of the time...we do catch snippets of "Don't poo poo da baf tub!" and "open ya mouf and eat ya foud!"

We laugh that she has some kind of accent, but we just don't know what it is yet! Her pronunciation is pretty funny though. She never says yes...but says Ya (picture heavy german sounding accent!). And she also "wubs" (loves) everything and often talks about her emotions "I so eh-sited" "I soooo happy". 

The last two pics were just taken yesterday...and I guess turning 2 marks the introduction of the fake smile!
