Yikes...time for an update!!!

Eeks, it's well into 2010, and I need to post a family update!!

Mirella is growing into a very smart little toddler. She loves playing with her toys and her friends.

She loves to taunt the dogs, which I find hilarious.

She is growing so darn fast! She talks soooo much - she can count to 10 and knows all the letters in the alphabet. She can't quite recite the alphabet yet, but she will say the letters that she knows when she hears the song.

She loves "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and will try to do the motions with you.

She absolutely LOVES anything Elmo, and will watch all of Sesame Street just for the last 15 minutes of Elmo.

She loves to tackle/climb all over her big kid friends that I watch after school and plays dress up with them.

We just converted her crib to a toddler bed over the last weekend. She just loves being able to get in and out of bed. She gets in and says nigh night and closes her eyes, then opens them and laughs. She is such a silly little girl, always making us laugh. We have a feeling she may be a comedian or some sort when she is older.

She has taken to calling Grandma "Bugga", which is adorable. Not sure where the name came from but it's what she calls her. Both of her Grandpa's are called Poppa or Poppy. :)

She enjoys talking on the phone, whether there is someone on the other end or not. ;)

She loves to play outside and calls slides "weeeeeeee!"

It's hard to believe she is going to be 2 in a matter of months!! Time is certainly flying by way too fast with her. I want to keep her as my little baby forever.
