Tummy Time

Tummy time is more fun when your big sister does tummy time with you!

Bath Time Smiles

Maggie now likes all of her bath time. She smiles while we wash her body and she continues to smile when we wash her hair.

Peyton Comes to Play

Peyton came to play at our house while Beth was in Lincoln for a meeting. Mena was thrilled for the playdate and I thoroughly enjoyed the giggles Peyton got out of Mena!!

Holding My Sister

Mena loves her sister!

Stretching Out

Sometimes the answer to Maggie's fussiness is to let her lay down and play. She likes to swing her arms and kick her legs while we talk to her. She also likes looking at the star on the toy dangler. The star lights up when she makes one of the toys hanging by her to move.

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.
