1 month away from being 2!!

Oakley is now 23 months. Only 1 month away from being a 2 year old. It is so hard for me to believe that it has been 2 years since we welcomed her into our lives.

Our family had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. This had to be the best Christmas ever for our family. Watching Oakley and seeing the joys of Christmas while still knowing  the true meaning of the season was such a Blessing for us.

It has been a quiet few months at our house, which was a much needed time for the boys to rest. They have all been so busy with school and sports that they needed some down time.

Baseball starts back up in just a few weeks and we are ready!!

Oakley is talking in sentences using 4-6 word phrases. She is so funny. She got a small Leap frog lap top for Christmas. The other night I was on my Laptop and she got her toy one and came an sit beside me. She looked at me very serious and said "Mommy, here you use mine. I use that one!"  She loves for us to pull up
Disney World on the computer and let her see Tinker Bell flying from the castle. She loves Tinker Bell. She actually thinks that she is Tinker Bell. Brian ask her the other day if she was his baby doll and she told him "No I'm your Bell"!  We are hoping to take her to Disney World soon.  It will all depend on weither we get a spring break or not. We have been out of school all week with 9 inches of snow. The boys had fun it it the first two days and then had enough of it. The old saying is if it lays on the ground for more than 3 days it is waiting on more. I really hope not, this has been plenty.

Oakley, is singing her ABC's, matching colors, counting, coloring, writing or scribbling. She is just doing and saying so much that I can never remember everything. Her favorite thing is music, it doesn't matter what kind of music just music. She loves to dance and is always stoping to dance if she hears music.

She loves our dog Jake, she will come to him and say come on Jake lets play and take off running. He is old so he doesn't chase her but she would love for him to.

 

Oakley got her 4th synagis this week. The last 2 months she has broken my heart, when Nurse Fran comes in to give her the shot, Oakley will grab hold of me and start crying saying "NO Mommy No"!  I know that the shots are for her health but boy does it just kill me. . She came to me this morning and told me "mommy leg don't hurt anymore" and took off running. I thought to myself only one more to go.

We will return to Eagleston on Feb. 11 for Oakley's 2 year check up. I always look forward to these trips because I know that we are returning with a Miracle. We are one of the lucky families that do get to go back.

We are BLESSED!!
Love, Sheree-Oakley's mommy
