Cinzia is 2!

Our precious Cinzia turned two last Sunday, 7/7. My baby is a baby no more. I could not believe how time flew so fast. Experienced parents have already warned me against this, but I took it for granted. I felt like I just went to work and Cinzia became 20 pounds heavier when I came home. It was lightning fast.

I am not the type of girl who is fond of babies. I am not good in taking care of babies nor am I patient with them. With Cinzia, I could say it's Alex who has the greatest influence. Our baby is really a good (I am saying this without bias.). Strangers, Costco cashiers, flight attendants, relatives whom we met for the first time, and many others have told us she is such a pleasant baby. She has a huge smile ready for everyone. She listens and obeys easily. She does not insist on what she wants. She tests us, too, sometimes, but generally, she is easy.

Two weeks ago, I brought her to West Virginia and we travelled 5 states with our relatives. Cinzia did not complain on the long road trips. She kept up with me at airports by walking and running to catch the next flight (We had two layovers each way). She did not throw any tantrums. She ate what I bought and/or prepared for her. Yes, she is a pleasant baby. I hope she will continue to behave like this as she gets older. Alex really did a good job on her. I am so proud of him. 

Cinzia and I were not really close. As I said, I am not into babies. I could not even play with her for 30 minutes straight. Alex already demanded I should. I can feed and bathe her, changer her diaper and clothes, drive her around, and sing with her. That's about it. With that trip we both made, Cinzia and I got closer than ever. I am so in love with this baby girl. As Alex always says, she is our pride and joy.

I cannot be grateful enough to God for sending Cinzia into our lives. Even if we did not expect her to come in this world at that time she was conceived, she came at a perfect timing. When she arrived, my career soared, and blessings poured one by one! She is the perfect baby for me and Alex. God really knows what we're doing. 

Happy 2nd birthday, Cinzia! We love you very very much! Here are some pictures Cinzia and I took on the plane while waiting to take off. We were bored.
