MILESTONES: I Am Two Years Old!

When I was born I weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. and was 20.5 inches long.
Now I weigh 34 lbs. and am 36 inches tall!
I have all of my baby teeth now and am being potty trained.
I love to talk my baby talk and scream on the top of my lungs,
 spin around and around to Disney movies, climb up ladders and rock
walls, will run away even though mommy is calling me to come back,
say "hi!"to everyone passing by, jump into the swimming pool and
slide fast down the water and park slides,  dance and shake my okole,
ride my tricycle around the block and spend lots of time outdoors!
I still don't like changing my diapers and putting on clothes.
My favorite foods are strawberries, oranges and french fries.
I can say Mom, Daddy, Koa, 'Lia, Tutu, Papi, Coo-koo,
hello, bye, more, please, thank you, juice, milk, stop, sit (to Makoa)
up, down, hot, cold, No!!! and alright (I never says yes).
I go to a new daycare, have been on trips to New York, Hawaii, New
Jersey and Arizona, and am taking up swimming and gymnastics.
I AM A BUSY AND HAPPY GIRL!!

2nd birthday at my daycare

Today is my actual birthday so Mom made fruit ice pops for me and my classmates to eat as our afternoon snack.  Daddy came to pick me up too.
 
Here are my friends Dominic, Malvina, Eli, Ms. Debbie and Parker.
Azaya, Maso and Sid sat at the other table.  Michael was here too.

2nd birthday at the Park - Pt. 1 Ready, Set...

September 11, 2016

Dear Tutu,

Today is my birthday party at the park.  The sun is out and the weather is nice and cool; perfect for my friends and I to play!  There is a jungle gym, volleyball and basketball courts, fields of grass to run around in, a skating park and even a dog park for Makoa.  The jungle gym is one of my favorite playgrounds!  Daddy usually brings Makoa and I every Sunday for a dog run and some jumping and climbing.  I hope my friends like it too.

Love, Alia
