This was the month of water for Sasha... fortunately, since it was a hot month.
She got to go swimming at Aunt Aabri's parents' underground pool, which is the deepest water she has ever been in...
And it has a rock slide, which was also a new experience.
Plus she got to swim in Aunt Jessica's above-ground pool where daddy took her
to the top of a roaring tsunami!!
All this swimming helped her gain her water wings.. or legs at least.
The deeper water encouraged her to kick!
Then there were the rain storms. Though few, she did get a chance to play out in the rain once. She LOVED it!! After that, whenever we left the house she would scream "RAIN!! RAiN!" No matter how sunny a day it was.
So excited about the rain!! Ironically, Sasha also experienced her first shower (instead of bath), and she hated it. Go figure!!
She has finally mastered the spoon, which is a great relief for her mother!! Plus, after she completed every meal she would say "Cookie." We only usually give her a dessert after dinner, but no matter what time of day, she thought she had earned a cookie!!
This month Daddy taught her to squelch. This means whenever you hug someone you say "Mmm...Mmmm MMMMMMMMMmmm" just like you are having a tasty treat. She thinks its hilarious!
This is the month I had to wear a wound vac (more on that later), and so at first she called it my bag, but then she learned it was a "Vatoom." She also thought it was noisy and would whisper "Nothey" every time she would hear it. We realized this month that Sasha has a slight "S" lisp. Thankfully, she calls herself "Shasha" instead of ThaTha for now. She also learned to say yes, but it comes out "Heth." Of course, most of the time her answer to every question was "Um.... No."
Other verbal tidbits:
**When she heard farts, she'd gasp and say "Beep". We thought it wacky at first, but it turns out she thinks farts and burps are the same, so she was really just trying to say "Burp."
**When Kaleb was around 2 he used to call the color red "ELMO." Well, turns out Sasha does the same thing, except she calls green "Hulk" and pink "Lilly" for her girl Teller cousin... who apparently wears a lot of pink.
This month Sasha met her only living great-grandparent, Ammon's dad's dad. He is Navajo and really doesn't speak a lick of English, but it was a cool experience nonetheless.
Sasha is now in the loving-baby phase of life. She just wants to be around them if their around. It's worse than puppies. We know that for a fact since my younger sister has a smaller dog and younger baby... Sure enough, she'd rather hug the baby!!
Here's an array of other random photos for the month:
Even just out of bed she is gorgeous!!
If it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't... well you get it!
Showing off those gorgeous stems!
Posing with her entourage.
Why do you look smaller, Mommy?
I'm ready for my closeup!
Hurry, quick, fake pout:
Pretty princess!
