It's been awhile.....

I realize it has been awhile since I've posted, so I figured I'd post a few updates. Let's see, since Easter, Jetta had her 2 year check-up, I had my 2nd Mother's Day, and we've taken some pretty cute pictures.

As for Jetta's 2 year check-up, she is finally growing. She now weighs a whopping 21.1 pounds, so she's gained over 6 pounds since we've brought her home. She has grown 5 inches, she is now 33 1/2 inches vs 28 1/2 when we brought her home. So, all in all, she is doing well. She is still on the small side, but the dr does not seem at all concerned, she figures she'll always be small, but healthy. Today we dug out some of her summer clothes from last year and we tried on a variety of sizes, ranging from 3 to 6 months all the way to 18 months and to our surprise the one pair of shorts that were 3 to 6 months...yep they still fit. So, as you can see we have a really hard time deciding what to keep and what to get rid of (hence why I still have a tub full of clothes from last summer). The one thing that I have noticed is she is taller, which is evidenced by the 5 inches she has grown, but when you see her everyday you don't really realize it just how much.

As for what else she is doing, she is talking up a storm, she has quite the vocabulary. She can say her abc's, count to twenty, put two to three word sentences together, tell you "no" rather well, ask for things, sing along to songs and a variety of other things. She is pretty amazing. She is doing so much better than I could have ever expected. She is very smart. She is always surprising me with things. She is such a great kid and keeps me on my toes.

For my second Mother's Day, she made me a homemade card at the daycare she goes to twice a week and brought home a flower. It was very sweet and cute. She was very happy to be able to give it to me. Then on Mother's Day she and Shannon got up early, went to town, got me some fresh cut flowers and a coffee and brought them home to me. She brought the flowers in to me and gave them to me herself. Then they gave me a card that the signed all by herself. It was very sweet. She also was able to tell me "Happy Mother's Day", which meant the world to me. Just to hear those words come from her meant more than anything else, along with the super uber wet kiss I got and the big squeeze she gave me. Nothing is better than wet, sloppy kisses from my baby, along with hugs and an I love you mommy. That alone can make a bad day super bright.

Other than that, not much else really to report. We have been very busy and apologize for not posting more often. So, hopefully the update gives you a little Jetta fix, along with a few new pics. So, hope you enjoy. As always thanks for following along.
