Long time...

I know... It has been a long time. We have been through so much, Mommie and I just haven't found the time to sit down and write.

First of all, we have moved to a new apartment. I love it!! It is larger and I finally have a room to myself. Now I can do a lot of things in my room. I can read here, I can paint, I can play here with my cubes and with my cars. And, of course, my mom and dad are glad that I can keep my toys and books and clothes in my room instead of their bedroom or the living room. On top of that my new room is fun! I have a big boy bed. Actually it is a bunkbed. Someday I will get the top bed and Lara the one on the bottom, but right now I get to sleep on the bottom bed and my stuffed animals sleep on the top bunk. Also, Daddy put up a cute little table on the wall where I can draw or paint. I have dragons on my carpet and on my bed sheets. And my name is written on the wall with colorful letters.

I continue to learn many different words every day and even make phrases. My very first phrase was "Daddy found Bogdan's ball" - I was just so excited he had found the ball I had received from Aunt Mandy. Probably the second "perfect" phrase was "Look at the sun, Daddy, look at the sun!"

My little sister is growing so fast. She is absolutely beautiful, as you can tell. I love her so much. I want to sleep in her bed and play with her toys, do what she does and be where she is. Actually, every morning I go in her room and check on her and ask her, "Lara happy?"

My best friend is Sophie. I try to meet with her at least once, maybe twice each week. I just cannot wait to see her. Mostly to annoy her. 'Cause as soon as she walks through the door I tell her, "Don't touch my cars", "That's my ball", I take her toys, eat her food and try to get the attention of HER parents. I love Sophie so much...

What can I say, life is fun!
