Spring Time





































Well it has been awhile, but here is an update of Johanah. It has been in the high 60's and last week the mid 70's so we are totally loving playing at the park. Johanah last week started saying her name completely as Johanah Anyeli Brandt it was totally clear and you understood every word. Maria (the daycare lady) also taught her to say my name so now she goes around saying Mommy Sondra. She is also saying Grandpa (instead of papa) and both of my parent's name's. She can also call all the animals by their name as well. Johanah has decided it is best if she picks out what she wears each morning and to dress herself, well on the mornings where I work we both have a battle as I am on a schedule and her dressing herself takes to long, so we try to comprise. I have enrolled her back in gymnastics and the new teacher was impressed that she could do all these things from such a small person. She can walk on the balance beam (almost all the way) without holding on, she can hang on the bar's and pull her feet up to the bar, somersault straight and jump with both feet off the ground (I think the bounce house in our living room helps). In swimming she starting to put legs and arms together for about 1/4 length of the pool, they call her a natural. I am so proud of her I am thinking on of these sports should get her a college scholarship (one can hope). Anyway, here are a few pictures of her at the park and at swim lessons.

This is my first post and thought for those who we don't see all the time, this will be the best way to keep in touch. Johanah is currently 27 months old, 32 inches and 26 lbs. She is enrolled in Gymnastics, and swimming. Johanah is bilingual and actually the other day recited the alphabet, colors (8 different ones) and can count to 15 in Spanish. She basically only speaks to her mother in English and everyone else gets her spanish language. We were at Walmart the other day and her new word is Frog. Well anyone with kids knows that a 2 year old can't say it exactly like that so it sounds like **** so we are walkig around Walmart and all Johanah is saying is frog mommy frog. Talk about turning 10 sheds of red...Well lets see if this works and will try again later. The pictures are some candid ones of Johanah
