Lorelei had a GREAT 2nd birthday party. She got a lot of toys and had fun. She had her cousins, her friend Gabby, her gramma, papa (she has decided that is his name), and some of mommy and daddy's friends here. She LOVED blowing out the candles and putting the cake in her hair ( I noticed a red tint to one of her pigtails yesterday). The cake even tasted good so I was happy( I made it AND decorated it). She actually opend most of her presents this year even with everyone watching. It was a great night!

What is she up to at two!
In 6 days my baby girl will be 2! I can't believe it. I sill remember balling at the sight of her heartbeat on the u/s and holding her for the first time. She has grown so much in the last two years. She went from a 6lb14oz 20in baby to a 23lb8oz 31on (on our scale not the Dr...s) toddler. Here are some of the things she is doing:
-Talking in FULL sentences. Not just little two word things, but looooong sentences. She uses these sentences in the "right" way to get the things she needs or wants. She also copies a lot of words that are new to her. She is interested in what they mean.
-She is now running. When she does this she tells us "Mama I running".
-She is using the potty and stays dry about 95% of the time. Of course, this is only when we are being really diligent and taking her potty a lot. It will be a while before she is really potty trained but we are on the track.
-She thinks things are really funny and will tell you so "That's funny mama".
-She is in LOVE with the cartoon character Calliou. She asks to watch him a million times a day.
-She loves to swim She will kick her feet and blows bubbles.
-She can repeat the some of the ABC and sometimes says random letters on her own in the right place.
-She can fully navigate our house. She can open and close all the doors. Even the one to garage which we now have to keep locked.
-She lets the dog in and out. She even unlocks the slider to do so.
-She gets herself out of bed every morning and wakes us up. So far it has always been at about the "right" time which is good. If it starts to be at 4 a.m. or something then we will have to redecide if this is cute or not.
-She is starting to understand counting. Right now it is usually "2,3,4,5,7,10...." but we still think that is pretty good.
-She can call people on the phone. This we just discovered and will have to make sure our phones are locked. If you get a call and an hang up from us it was prob her....sorry.
-She is very polite. She says "please", "thank-you", "you're welcome" and "excuse me" Sometimes she has to be reminded, but she is pretty good at it.
She of course is doing other things, but that is a pretty good list for now.
The last two years have flown by! I am so proud of her and love her so much. I think she is the best baby (toddler) girl in the world!
now on
to the next chapter of her life........being a big sister!

Just keep swimming.....
Lorelei spent the first two weeks of her summer vacation in parent/tot swim lessons. The first day she screamed, but after that she decided it was really, really fun! She blows bubbles, kicks her legs (well her leg, she doesn't like to kick her one with the hemangimoa), and lets Brian and I toss her between us.
We were at a friends house the other day who has a big pool and Lorelei even swam in a swim ring without mommy holding on (Don't worry I KNOW it is not a life saving device as the label says. I wasn't even an arms length away)! She thought that was the greatest thing.
Now we spend a portion of each day swimming in her kiddie pool. She lays on her belly and blows bubbles. It is very cute. The swim ring doesn't quite have the same fun factor in 16in of water, but it is still fun for her to sit in. She is def a swimming fool!

My peace, my peace is all I have....
On Sunday Brian, my father, and I went to see Arlo Guthrie. He was here with his family (daughter, son, son-in-law, granddaughter and a member of his band) in the Guthrie Family Legacy Tour.
It was really neat, they sang a lot of Woody Guthrie songs. Arlo talked about his father's songs a lot. He was very funny. At one point he said, "My dad wrote some of these song 70 years ago, yet they are still relevant today. Either that means that the songs are really good or that the world still sucks!" I thought that was great. They also sang a lot of Arlo's songs. He told stories that went with them it was really neat. They ended with a song that his father had written, but never put music to. Arlo wrote the music. It was called "my peace". It was a really cool song about how the best thing we can all give to each other is "our peace" the peace that is inside of us. I thought that was a great message.
After the show we were able to get Arlo's autograph and shake his hand. That was REALLY cool. I talked to his daughter too who is also pregnant and due a few weeks after me. It was so neat to meet them both.
