June 28, 2007

We celebrated Melina's 2nd Birthday party at Gymboree. We celebrated a little early this year so mom could attend before she left for CH. Melina had a blast!

A talkative little one

June 06, 2007

Melina has started putting short sentences together and some of them are a crack up. It made me realize that I should be writing some of these down so I remember them!

Our first night in Hawaii Bill was concerned that she would climb out of the hotel crib so he wheeled her into our room once she fell asleep (the place was huge, much bigger than our house!). She woke up about 3am and said "daddy, bathing suit, swim, now!" and then went back to sleep. I laughed so hard I had trouble falling back asleep.

She saw turtles in Hawaii and explained to one little boy "my turtle, don't touch, turtle is hungry." what?

Everything is "mine" these days. My beach, my pool, my airplane, my park, etc. But, interestingly enough, when we go to my parent's house everything is Nono's. Nono's house, nono's pool, nono's car. I guess he is the only one who is able to "own" anything other than her!

On our walk the other night I asked her to put her hood back on which she did and then turned around to me and said "ok mama, you put your hood on too." I was sweating about 10 minutes later so I tried to sneak it off, she caught me and smiled and said "mamaaaa, hood, where are you hood??"

My favorites:

I love you (more like I wuv you)--20 months
Bless you mommy (one of my very favorites after I sneeze)--21 months
Excuse me (more like 'scuse me)--20 months

She has known all her body parts in English and Italian for quite some time now, but now she knows them in Swedish too (thanks to her babysitter). It is a crack up.
