28 Months Old (2 yrs 4 months)

We've had to deal with some meltdowns as Mena got used to waiting for what she needed when we were already doing something for Maggie, but mostly we're still getting lots of smiles from Mena.

Mena weighs 31 pounds.  She has the same 16 teeth with no signs of her 2 year molars.  She's still wearing size 3T shirts and 24 month pants.  Since the 26 month old post, Mena has learned to use scissors and has learned to find a circle and star when asked.  Gene and I don't feel Mena has show any regression since Maggie was born.  In fact, we feel she is talking more and trying to say more words since Maggie was born.  Every once in a while we even hear Mena put two words together, like "mama done."  Mena has also shown more interest in potty training although she doesn't go every time she sits on the potty chair.  Mena's teachers from LPS & EHS both took a break from visiting us after Maggie was born.  In January when Gene went back to work, I invited both of them to resume their weekly visits with Mena.  Mena was happy to see her teachers again.
