Sasha is 2 (plus a few days)


















What lucky parents we are to have the blessing of raising this beautiful little girl. Who knew how much she could change us. It has been such a blessing to watch her grow and learn. It is hard to believe how quickly time goes.

As a child I never understood how time could go quickly, it seemed to take an eternity to get to Christmas every year, let alone from Christmas to my birthday (about a month). Now as a mother I wish time would slow down a little so that it might be a little easier to savor all of the precious moments in life.

here are a few pictures of Sasha through these first two years.



Sasha is a great big sister, she loves to play and help with Braden. She also is wonderful to help around the house. We love watching her grow and learn every day. We are so thankful for the opportunity to have her as part of our lives.


Some fun things about Sasha are... when putting her to bed at night she has to kneel for prayers, she will sit up and read, talk, or sing to her animals for up to 2 hours. She loves to be outside going on walks, swinging, sliding, watching everything, it is great to rediscover all of the facinating things that nature has to offer with her (birds, weeds, water, bugs...). Her favorite movie is cars. She is a DADDY's girl! And Daddy loves it. She asks daily where Dada, Matt, & Grandpa are, she wants to play with all of you, or at least talk to you. Once she learns someone's name she develops an obsession with it. For now she seems to have a preference for men, so much for our guy shy little girl.






















Sasha ease:
ahmee or ahmo ----> more
abby ----> happy
Bo Bo ----> her blue tiger
Shoosh Shoosh ----> her giraffe
awsize ----> outside
(panting) ----> dog
(whoowhoo) ----> owl/owl says
mama or bye----> bye
bebe ----> Braden/little
ah dah ----> all done
me me ----> meeting
aabo ----> apple
dis ----> this
Sasha's first joke:
(she got a pair of my shoes from the basket, took them over to show Brit and...)
Mommy (snicker) Sasha (snicker)
then she put them on and walked around the house, they appear to be her favorite for "dressing up"

SASHA WE LOVE YOU!!!
