I must be a bad mom... it's been over a year and no updates. Maybe because I'm so stinking busy taking care of you and your brother. More to come. You are going to a doctor tomorrow who should be able to tell us more about the diagnosis of apraxia we recieved in December. You are still really, really cute.

Almost Two!!
We've used Facebook as our main area to display pictures for the past year. But I felt with Nina's birthday fast approaching, I should update this blog with some milestones and pictures. A visit to the pediatrician on Monday revealed that Nina's in the 99th percentile for height! As she put it, she's as tall as the average three year old (36 inches!) Nina's been talking more and more. Her current favorite phrases include: Where are you? It's STUCK! No no, Daddy! Oh NO! No crying, and huh-huh-Otay, yeah!
She's obsessed with Disney Princesses. OBSESSED. I can't go through Walgreens or Target without constant cries for items that have princesses on them... Sunglasses, jumpropes, towels, etc.
Nina's getting a little brother in November. She can point to my belly when I ask where the baby is, but will also kiss her dad's tummy if he says to kiss the baby. She's a dancing fool- lifts the bottom of her dress like a *you know it* princess. She recently learned to jump, can tuck herself under a blanket very impressively, and puckers up to give smooches on demand unless she's in a foul mood. At Lola's, Nina pulls up a step stool and will play in the sink for HOURS. At Mima and Poppa's, she begs to ride in the truck, play outside with Callie, and admonishes the mean kitty; "NO Rita, be NICE!"
It's thrilling to see Nina develop into a little person- her name, Red reminded me today, means "Warrior Princess" and that really couldn't be more fitting. Dr. McNair, who delivered her, was approving when I told her Nina was a strong-willed little girl with a lot of energy and a passion for pink. It's also sad to me to see less of my baby. There's an independent streak already that threatens me as her mom.
As we enter Nina's third year, her dad and I marvel at how quickly the time has gone, and are proud as can be of our little girl. We feel so thankful to have such a great kid.

Walking And Woof Woof
Nina is getting really good at walking. Here she is practicing in our backyard. She also says 'woof woof' whenever she sees dogs, any dogs. Here she is saying 'woof woof' to the puppy pads for her stroller her mom bought today.

11 months old! 8.7.09
Nina shows off her new teeth here! They've been great for trying all kinds of new foods. She got some owls to put in her new room, and she's pretty happy about it!
More Birthdays!
Girls in party dresses- too interested in other kids!
Oh- the car is so fun!
Nina wasn't too sure about Barney, but humored him...
