8 months with Nyah...

April5_6 017

Nyah continues to keep us busy because from the moment she wakes up until anywhere between 5-60 minutes after she is put in her crib, she is living life full force. She has totally embraced being 2... I have found 3 to be the difficult age with the others and have always wondered why the 2's had a terrible reputation... now, I know. Nyah is quite set in her ways and demands we all do things her way, on her schedule, and retaliates with hitting, kicking, and just ignoring. She is now well aware of the time-out seats in our house! She still basically grunts for things but believe me, she understands it all. Just in the past week she has picked up a bunch of new words though unless you know the context, you would never understand her. She shouted "Evan" across the ball field the other day and demanded more "Pizza" a few nights this week. She still is obsessed with shoes, hers and ours, and runs to put hers on when she senses someone leaving the house. She demands hair accessories now that her sister is growing her bangs out and is wearing them and if you compliment Brynn, you better have a compliment for Nyah too because she will fuss until you notice something about her. Here are some of my favorite photos of her from April:

Nyah had her first visit to the beach... liked to swim, loved the ice-cream cone, loves her daddy, tolerated the sand...

Nyah was completely dressed when she started jumping. The girl loves to take her clothes off. Not exactly a great hobby, especially when it is in her crib at nap time; we are trying to outwit her on that one...

Nyah likes to write... on paper, on walls, on herself, on her pillow, on the crib... this is how mommy's face looks when I see where she has written...

Nyah loves her siblings... loves to play with the boys and loves to harass Brynn. Here she climbed in bed with Caleb, who was home sick from school...

Nyah loves to put on clothes that others are putting on. If it is dance day, dance clothes. If it is soccer day, old soccer shirts (she is also into doing her own hair now too)...

Nyah loves to eat and give cheesy grins and make snarky faces...

Nyah looks great, what hair! Seems like she has some of the same personality traits as Cali-stubborn, bossy-hee hee. Cali also knows where the time out spot is. She is a pistol! Jody

Nyah and Sophia have so much in common. Sophia is strong willed to know what she wants and wants it her way. She has learned about time out as well. She is going through a hitting, kicking, and bighting stage too. She loves shoes, and hair bows and anything anyone else has. Sophia has been experiencing the beach for the first time and loves the water too. It is amazing how much they are alike and I am not just saying this because they are so much alike but Nyah is a beautiful child..Happy 8 months together.

Hugs
Susan
