Today is Niko's 2nd birthday.
We had a small picnic for her at a park yesterday with about 10 people. I forgot to take photos but I think that's a good sign. I was too busy having fun. She is definitely more alert and aware now. She seemed to know that we were all there for her. And when we sang Happy Birthday, she grinned from ear to ear.
She really does seem different to me. She's made some noticeable changes lately.
Starting with the physical, her hair has become more brown. Her eyes have turned brown instead of the slate gray-ish blue that they once were.
She now gets stranger anxiety and doesn't like when strangers (or even friends we've known for a while) get close to her face. She used to absolutely LOVE interacting with people, strangers included. I hope this is a phase.
She can join in clapping when there is applause around her. This is so very cute.
And now for my favourite! She can give kisses. I just melt when she does this.
When I stopped to take a photo of her today to mark her 2nd birthday, a leaf fell on her head. It was so perfect.
