Emilia turned two on May 31!

First cake on May 31

Second cake on June 1 at Grandparents' place

(That's cousin Marru trying to blow the candles)

 

 

I wanted to post right after her birthday, but I've been just procrastinating, and then today I realized it's been a week since her birthday already.

Emilia is 84cm tall and weighs 13.4kg. She still is a good eater, and I am sure that is one of the reasons she has been able to stay relatively healthy.

Terrible Two is here. She's so stubborn and independent, but I think she's still a good baby compared to some other toddlers. She loves books, especially the ones with pictures of animals (farm, jungle, and ocean). She has a lot more words now but still does not use a sentence. But she started repeating after me when I tell her a word. Sometimes she says it all wrong but it's still a nice try. When I call her name, she repeats it: "Mia". When I tell her an owl says "hoot-hoot", she says "boot-boot". No matter how many times I tell her it's "hoot", she still says "boot-boot". She loves singing "happy birthday" - though her version has simplified lyrics: "happy happy...to yoooou"

Cheers to the last 2 years, and to all the good fun we will have together in the many years to come. Happy Happy To You, Mia!!
