Sasha at 21 Months

My little angel is growing up!!

At 21 months, Sasha was really starting to be more predictable and easier to handle. However, there were still those little quirks that come with each kid that keeps life interesting.

Every morning, we would pass by the master bedroom door and Sasha would say, "Daddy at work."  Then we would sit down and she would talk about each item of her breakfast.  At night, she knew that we would read a book (and she would always pick Dinotrux, one of Kaleb's favorites) then sing a song (which would always be the ABC or ELMO >LALA< song) then say family prayer.  Well, whoever would say the prayer would have to put up with her mumbling along with them.  She never wanted to say it, but she didn't mind being a verbal shadow to everything that was said.  

With summer time in full swing, my kids were getting more TV than I usually liked.  

This was a common scene in our house, I love how Sasha takes up half the couch.  

There was the weekly trip to the mall to look forward to, which my kids do enjoy!

But Sasha loved swimming the most.  SHE LOVES WATER!!  If splashing were an Olympic Sport, we would have a future gold-medalist on our hands.  Thankfully, we know enough people with pools that it's been a pretty fun summer!

I guess along with the splashing obsession came Sasha's sudden need to blow bubbles in her drinking water... like constantly.  Oy.  The worst was when she was eating and she would end up with the floaties. 

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!

And hats

And Kaleb's shoes... she has no problem putting his on, but hers are still giving her trouble.  

This month saw my 3-day stint at the hospital, and since Sasha didn't understand a bit of what was going on, she became extra-wonderfully-clingy to mommy after I got out.

 She had a habit of sitting at the kitchen entrance every night while I made dinner (cuz she wasn't allowed in the kitchen).  It was like she was afraid I would disappear if I left her sight.  

This is the month Sasha discovered her fake laugh.  She and I occasionally do laughing sessions where we would just throw our heads back and cackle like a couple of evil witches.  She thought it was great!  She also would do a fake laugh when all of us laugh at something on the TV (that she obviously didn't get).  

The words of the month, for Sasha became "Watch" and "See."  She realized that these words got Kaleb some attention, so being the cheesy little ham-bone that she is, she put them to good use.  

Last of all were the tiny little moments when she started getting afraid of things.  First it was our fridge (which randomly makes loud popping sounds), then it was the car-wash (which is super-scary with all the rags smacking her window) and then little surprise sounds became a bit of a bother to her.  Thankfully she hasn't had any big events or night terrors, so for now it's just fun to see that cute face and let her cuddle when she needs it.
