Happy 2nd Birthday Meliya

Meliya just turned two years old.  We had a fun time celebrating in our courtyard of our complex with some of the neighborhood kids.  Some of them we invited, some of them just turned up.  We go outside to the courtyard often, so we recognized all of them that showed up.  We also shared the birthday party with another two year old who is one day older than Meliya.

We also had a friend do some face painting. Meliya really liked it and was quite sad when it started to fade.

Right now, Ye-Ye and Nai-Nai are visiting.  Meliya is growing up fast. Her favorite foods are crackers and cheese (like mama). She also really likes olives, eggs, and nuts. She enjoys saying the words "egg" and "money" a lot, but also is enjoying saying the word "no." She likes going outside still, and is really good at figuring out things.  She really likes her sticker books She also likes doing the prenatal workout video with mama.
