Two Years Old

Sienna turned two in February, and I just find it so hard to believe.  The time has gone by so quickly (more quickly with her than during Ethan’s first two years). 

  Sienna enjoys people, but is much more introverted than Ethan.  It’s still hard to tell if she is an introvert or extrovert because she is not extremely either way (unlike her brother, who is an off the chart extrovert!).   

She typically eats a lot of food.  Sometimes she eats more than her brother (which is amazing!).  Her breakfast sometimes consists of cooked oatmeal, home-made granola, eggs and Canadian bacon and sometimes a banana. And, she is ready for a snack soon afterward!  She asks for frozen peas all of the time (she likes them frozen, cold, or heated).  She still has not had chocolate or sweets. 

We’ve actually been more strict with what she eats than Ethan (though, he still doesn’t get chocolate or sweets either).  By this age he had been given fruit yogurts and juice mixed with water.  She hasn’t had juice yet and has only had plain yogurt with fresh fruits.

  We typically need to wash her face after each meal, but it’s usually not as messy as in this picture above.

She likes being a “helper”.

She puts everything in her mouth, but probably enjoys putting her thumb in her mouth the most.  She puts her index finger from her other hand to her mouth (as if to hold the thumb there) like in the picture above.

She loves chasing Ethan and playing Hide ‘N Seek. She enjoys counting the most during Hide ‘N Seek.

She is often concerned about Ethan having a turn too, so many times after she does something once she will say, “Ethan’s turn”.

She loves nursery rhymes (reading them as well as saying them) and the song Jesus Loves Me.

When we are looking for something, she always says it’s hiding.  She actually hasn’t done this in the last month or two, but it was humorous while it lasted.

If she asks for more milk she uses two syllables for “milk” (wonder where she got that from… though, I really don’t use two syllables for “milk”… I can’t say that for some other words that are only supposed to be one syllable, but I don’t say milk that way).

It’s amazing to see all of the things that she has learned from Ethan such as the ABCs and counting.  She wants to do whatever he is doing.

She is such a gift from God, and we are so thankful for her!
