Ana also is currently in the phase of making this cheesy smile every single time she gets her picture taken. Well... every single time she agrees to let me take her picture at least. If she's not making this cheesy grin she's making her grumpy face or covering her face with her grumpy arms. I suppose I should be happy that occasionally she lets me take a photo of this cheesy grin. (She only smiled this time because I told her I was taking a picture of her AWESOME FABULOUS OBSESSED OVER LETTERS... not her.)
She smiled here because I told her I would take a picture of her letter Q. It seems that currently the letter Q is her favorite letter of all time (although yesterday her favorite letter was R... and who knows what it will be tomorrow).
At 2 1/2 Ana is having a love affair with letters. And actually... she's been in love with letters for quite a while. Last summer (just after she turned 2) she suddenly let us know that she could recognize and name every single letter of the alphabet. She's forever naming letters. And now she has this solid alphabet that she can have, and hold, and carry around.
So currently... Ana's very favorite possession is a set of foam alphabet letters. I'm hoping it's a love that holds fast. A love of letters should grow into a love of words, and reading, and writing... right?

Apropos of nothing: we used to have those pajamas. I was SO SAD when my kid grew out of those pajamas. They're so cute.
They're pretty awesome pajamas. They were actually Zoe's first... so this is our 2nd use of them. And we've got 4 different sets of pjs... all the same style.
: )
yes! letters! yes! reading! yes! writing!
it is just all happening so very fast.
i cannot get over how big she is.
Carrie.... she is HUGE. She started wearing 4t clothing right after Christmas. On Valentine's Day she wore the outfit Zoe just wore last year. I'm afraid by next year they'll be in the same size. On top of her physical size... she seriously has the verbal skills of a 3-4 year old. She also figures out things and makes the most obscur connections. We keep telling ourselves that we must have blocked out a year somewhere and Ana is somehow actually 3 1/2... not 2 1/2.
Of course.... she does remind us regularly lately that she IS just 2 with the most awesome of 2 year old tantrums and general emotional breakdowns you could ever imagine.
