2 1/2!!!










I really cannot believe our baby girl is already 2 1/2! So much has happened since she turned two- it has been a very busy 6 months. Joey has had 2 surgeries and they switched his chemo but he is doing so much better it is truly amazing! His blood work is coming along great and he has already hit the 2nd phase of the remission process.



Merrin is just growing like crazy ; not gaining much weight. She is stuck at 23 lbs. but getting taller and wants to do everything "self". I am constantly hearing "No, Mommy, 'self' ", which is great but can be time consuming at times :) She has been potty trained since October and I cannot take the credit. She was ready and she did it all "self"! She even wakes us up in the middle of the night to go potty, not all nights but enough. We are so proud of her!



She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Barney is out (yeah). Her favorite movie is Princess and the Frog. She LOVES her PJ's and will want to change into them at all times, like right before we are walking out the door. I am thinking she is playing in her room and she comes out in her PJ's. She loves changing her clothes period. She is definitely a girly girl who loves tutu's, shoes, hats. She will put on an outfit, run to the mirror, and say "awww pretty'.



She will say I luv you and give you kisses which we love since we waited a very long time to hear those words from this sweet girl and it still brings tears to my eyes. She loves to have group hugs with Mommy and Daddy. Her new thing is when she really really wants something and I have said "No" she says p-l-e-a-s-e Mommy and give me this sad pouty look. I try not to cave in but it is so cute it is very hard! She still loves to be held, loves to jump, dance, sing, love to be tickled, play hide and seek, anything chocolate and of course her milk! She absolutely adores tomatoes and mushrooms.

I am really going to try to update my blog . I love reading all the posts and seeing the pictures and so does Merrin. I have been really trying to get her baby books in order but not doing a great job since according to her book she only has two teeth!



We stayed home today and prepared for Chinese New Year. We cleaned the house, put up our decorations, and baked good fortune cupcakes. We cannot wait for this weekend we have two CNY parties to go attend, should be tons of fun!!


Blessings,


Wendy
