Cienna as a 2 yr old

My sweet Cienna!! I haven't been good at updating about her like I did Jace, poor thing. But thought I would now. Our Cienna at 2. . .

-She used to be small for her age but caught up quickly as she got closer to 2. She is now in the 60 percentile for her age.
- She loves to be cuddled. Everyday at nap time we still cuddle til she falls asleep or decides to have quiet time playing with toys in her crib.

-She is a decent eater. She will eat green beans, tomatoes, peas and carrots, and brocolli occasionally, but doesn't like any other vegetable. She will eat most other things.
-She is very good at letting us know when she is upset ;) and when she doesn't want to do something. In fact until about a month or so ago, she fought us on almost everything, from changing her diaper to putting her in her car seat. I thought I was gonna die and that I couldn't do this for 18 years. haha. However, this last month she has toned it down quite a bit and is doing a lot of things willingly. I did some reading and decided to give her as many small choices as I could in the day and praise her to death when she did something we wanted her to do. Her quick temper has improved dramatically (knock on wood!!)

-She loves princesses, babies and cooking in her kitchen. She is a complete girl. However, she has gotten pretty decent in a wrestling match against her brother. haha.

-Her favorite movies are snow white and barbie nutcracker. She developed a LOVE of ballet when my sister Jessica was here for Christmas and showed her part of the nutcracker on You Tube. She only wanted to watch it a thousand more times all through Christmas and into new years. She basically owned my ipad and watch the sugar plum princess dance over and over again and tries to copy her movements. And now when she dresses in one of her princess dresses she's not a princess, she's a ballerina. ;)
-She is the best hugs and kisses giver! She gives us all multiple a day! I love it!
-She knows her colors, shapes and recognizes most of the alphabet.
-She is talking more and more all the time and starting to string 4 words together at a time.
- She now loves nursery!! She didn't before and would literally scream and scream, and now she starts to get antsy during the closing song and prayer in sacrameeting to be able to go. The Primary Chorister said that she is so animated when they sing and sings the loudest. haha. I believe it.
-She is pretty darn good at entertaining herself which is so nice! Especially when Jace goes to Preschool. I am able to get quite a bit done.
-She loves her older brother and especially loves his room and his stuff. We have to keep his door shut at all times or she will be in there getting into all his treasures haha.

But most of all she is the sweetest and cutest little girl in the world! I am so lucky to be her mom. :) Below is a video of her imitating the nutcracker dance. . .

Jace & Soccer

So I'm playing catch up. Jace played soccer this past Fall and LOVED it! Everything about it, never tired from it. However he did get tired of his mom cheering and shouting tips. haha. I got in trouble by him. He got pretty dang good at getting the ball from the team and putting it in the goal. He probably got too serious about it because he would be upset when he didn't get a certain number in each game. So in March starts another season, and I asked him, "Jace would you like to play soccer in the spring?"   "Yes!!"  "Or you could try another sport?" "Soccer!!" haha Okay. Here's some photos of this past season.
