My Winter Beauty

I wanted to post some photos I took of Jayna the other day before we went out. I thought she looked so cute in her new toque, scarf, and mittens. I am really loving this age, 2 years. She does have those occasional "terrible Two" moments, but for the most part she is just so darn cute! She is picking up on so much, and saying lots of new words lately. Right after I took these pictures, we were walking out to the car and she says " mommy, MOON!" and looks up at the sky pointing. That was her first time saying Moon. I am always so proud and happy when she does something new, it is so facsinating to watch your child literally grow up before your eyes! There is nothing on this earth like those beautiful moments. I love them so much. When we were in the car, she pointed to the roof and said " Moon, Sky!" Another new word! Yay! I thought it was pretty cool. We went to my Mom's house, my Auntie Nee Nee, my favorite Auntie is visiting for 2 weeks. She is just sooo fun, and Jayna calls her " Mee Mee" haha. Later that night Jayna learned "Ding Dong" and points to her nose, Auntie taught her that one. haha. Some of my favorite things that Jayna does that I always want to remember at this age: 1) A lot of times after her bath she will go into my bed and pull the covers over her and just giggle. I will always join her and we just giggle and cuddle together and get all cozy. It is sooo cute, I love it. 2) We have started the habit over the last month in the morning, Jayna calls out for me or Daddy when she wakes up, and usually Andrew goes and gets her from her crib and brings her into our bed. She always comes to me and cuddles up and says " Hi Mom" in the sweetest voice with a smile on her face. I just tear up thinking about her sweet voice and face. What a precious daughter I have. 3) I have a beauty mark on my tummy and Jayna noticed it, and goes "Oh Mama," and points to my beauty mark. I showed her that she has one on her bum cheek. So she points to it, and says : "Oh mama, e la da!" ( E La Da ) means look at this, what is this, where is that. Her version of asking those questions. lol 4) She loves brocoli, and eats the tops off and leaves the stems. 5) She calls everyone "Alma"! The only people she says by name is : Mama, Dadda, Nana, and now Mee Mee. When we went to Toronto back in September and stayed with Anna and Carl, she started calling Anna " Alma". It was really funny, especially because she could say Anna. Once we got home, she called my Dad Alma, and everyone else. Even strangers if she wants to get their attention she calls " Alma " and they obviously don't know she is talking to them! haha. 6) When she plays on the phone she always calls Anna. "Hi Anna. " Then she talks and says " Bye Anna."

She loves her rain boots.
