Life as we have known it is completely taking a 180 degree turn and I'm holding on with all my might. So many changes and it's all happening so dang fast. Since my last post we have sold our house, bought a new one, Easton started a new school and is attending a full day fours preschool that is all day, everyday. Raya has started daycare and today is her last day at that daycare. She starts her new one on Tuesday. We move into our new home in 13 days and we have about 13 boxes packed. It is impossible to pack with 2 kids. Especially when Raya has literally been teething for 3 weeks. She has never been a good teether but this has been by far the worst. She is getting 4 molars all at once. Jake and I didn't sleep for 2 weeks straight. Seriously. All while trying to buy, sell, start new schools, pack a house etc.. etc... I'm not sure how we're still functioning - but we're surviving. I feel bad that Raya is finally getting used to the new daycare and now she will be starting a new one. However, I am hopeful it will be a good switch for her. The teacher-to-kid ratio is 4:1 at this new location which I hope gives her much more attention. I haven't been impressed with her toddler room lately when I pick her up - she is usually sitting all alone in the sandbox, not playing, and just sitting alone sucking her thumb. When she sees me she starts running for me all while breaking down crying.
Raya has really changed a lot - especially since the last post. She is a talking machine and will try and repeat anything we say. She also is all about pushing her limits and will do things she knows she's not supposed to... all with a big girn on her face. But damn she's cute so she usually gets away with it. She continues to love music and dancing and anytime music comes on she bends those knees and starts bouncing away. Simply adorable. She loves to give hugs and kisses and usually will pick 1 person each day that she clings to. Sometimes it's me or Jake but she's also been known to pick the neighbors, grandparents, etc.. etc... she knows what she wants and that's all there is to it :) She loves to play with Easton and will laugh hysterically while they chase each other all over the house. My favorite thing lately is that she just finds everything funny and busts out laughing. She loves to read books and sit on your lap while you read them. She also loves her babies and loves to rock them to sleep and cover them up with blankies. She also loves to sing songs and will sing a couple words to: itsy bitsy spider, rock-a-by baby, twinkle twinkle, and if you're happy and you know it!
Words she knows:
- No
- Bye-bye
- Hi
- Sit
- More
- Nana (banana)
- Milk
- uh-oh
- Whoops
- love you
- Wazat (what's that)
- ball
- meow
- whoof
- mama
- dada
- gramma
- help
- up
- nigh-nigh (night night)
- book
- nose
- eyes
- baby
- elmo
- shoes
- socks
- owie
I'm sure there is more - but that's all that comes to me now.
