TWO

This is two years that has absolutely flown by! I can't believe it's already been two years since I looked at this tiny little face and cradled her little self in my arms. Now it's all I can do to keep up with her at all!

We celebrated Kaya's second birthday with a family party. Whenever we would ask her how old she was she gave us numbers ranging from foi (four) to hebempeen (seventeen), but never two.

Our little wild child has grown up so much lately. She is talking up a storm and is so much fun to have a conversation with. Her favorite phrase is "Oh, yeah!" which she responds to nearly any question with. ("Kaya, do you want to go to the store?" or "Kaya, do you need a diaper change?"

--always the answer is "Oh, yeah!") She loves to be outside more than any other place and especially loves the swing set and anything involving water play. She also enjoys feeding the fish in the pond and helping me weed the flower beds. (I've lost more than a few flowers with her help). She is beginning to like cute clothes, including dresses and will often announce to everyone, "I look cute!" She still hates having her hair done and I feel successful if I can get a hair clip in it. We love her little curls though so I am reluctant to cut her hair short. Kaya loves her nursery class at church these days and after every speaker in sacrament she'll ask, "I go class now?" She is very expressive and often melodramatic. In fact, Taylor asked her today if she was melodramatic and she held her hand up to his face and exclaimed (melodramatically), "No. I NOT megagamatic!" She has also discovered that please really is a magic word. Especially when it is said in a sweet way with her head tilted and a few eyelash flutters thrown in. She generally gets whatever it is she wants that way. She is just such a cute little social child with a lot of spunk and often a temper to match; we just adore her so much and are so glad she is a part of our family!
