Leah Turns 2.

I have been dreading this moment.  The day my youngest baby turns 2.  Well let's just say I pretty much dread every big day in her life, because I just don't want her to get any older.  I am definitely missing having a baby in the house.

But, since I can't slow down time, I guess this day had to come.  Leah at 2 is so many things.  She is sassy, independent, funny, and dramatic...oh how she is dramatic!  She is also sweet and loving too.  She will cuddle for a bit, but for the most part she is on the go.  She loves to climb furniture and go flying down the stairs on her belly.

Leah loves sucking her thumb and carrying around her lulu (her lovie blanket).  She likes soft things and will insist on all 3 blankets at bedtime.  She likes to play with her brothers and she loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, she will ask for Minnie Mouse as soon as she wakes up.

Leah is a pretty good eater though like all kids is unpredictable with how much she will eat.  Sometimes she will have 3 servings and other times she will barely touch her food.  Her favorites are bananas, green beans, zucchini, asparagus, brussel sprouts, pineapple, grapes and melon and any kind of sauce, especially ketchup and ranch.  She is not a huge fan of meat in general, but sometimes will surprise us and eat it all up.  Usually she will eat the stuff the boys won't eat and won't eat the stuff they love.  Leah also has a love for lollipops.

We had a Minnie Mouse Birthday party for her.  She LOVED the big Minnie balloon and carried it around the whole time.  She also loved a soft minnie blanket she got and a skirt that was so soft.  Leah is playing most with her Minnie toy.

 We had just family over, since just immediate family pretty much fills up the house.  Dennis made the Minnie head for the cake and did an awesome job.

One quick note, I spent Thursday night with her in the ER after she fell from her chair and hit her head.  She wasn't acting herself and then after baths she started to vomit.  After a few attempts of putting her to bed and then her vomiting, we called the doctor and were told to go to the ER.  We were trying to avoid it because of the costs, but unfortunately we had to go.  She threw up a couple more times while I was there, but the CT scan turned out ok and after a couple doses of Zofran she stopped vomiting and was able to go home.  Luckily, all was well by the party on Saturday.
