ava learns to ride

Today Ava learned to ride a bike (no training wheels!). We had been practicing gliding with the pedals and crank removed, and then she got the hang of riding with pedals but the last part to master was getting started from a stop. A few hours of practice today and now she has got it down. Go Ava!

Leelee our maple seed

2 years old. That’s how old Annalise is. two. the age of “i do it”, “again”, and “let me hold you.” Annalise is full of cute words and independence.

Her newest words are

~ “can I?” can i dink it mommy?, can I play wight der mommy?

~ “weally” It’s weally hard. dat helitopter is weally loud.

~ “Who dat?” Lisey points to people standing near us and asks, “who dat mommy?” at the park or grocery store I just use a generic term. But at parties where I should know people, I tell her their name, or ask their name. Which inevitably causes me to have a conversation with that person. Lise seems determined to change her introverted mommy!

~ all of her g’s are prounounced as d’s. It’s stinkin cute that she says, damma, dampa, and dabby!

Here’s a little clip from her birthday party:

When asked what her name is, she says, Leelee. Ava calls her maple seed.

She has a sense of humor, she’s timid, she’s polite, she loves to wear dresses, dance, and sing. She’s perfect! We love you Annalise. Happy 2nd Birthday!
