A Very Late 2 Year Update

My sweet baby girl, we celebrated your 2nd birthday on February 22 by going to see Disney on Ice with grandma, papa, and cousin Caitlyn.  And mommy and daddy of course!  You had a lot of fun even though you weren't quite ready to sit through the whole thing.

Then the following day we celebrated with family and friends by having a ladybug themed party.  You had so much fun playing with your friends and cousins.


You received lots of nice gifts for your birthday and your favorite was a doll from your friend Alex.  You played with it the rest of the day and even took it to bed with you that night.

Daddy and I gave you a tricycle and you love to ride it.  Every time you see it downstairs, you want to ride it.


It has been another year full of joy as I watch you grow up.  You have changed so much this past year and even though I still call you my baby, you are definitely not a baby anymore.

You are such a talker, but whenever we go out, it takes you awhile to warm up.  So most people don't get to see what a chatterbox you are.

You also like to read books, sing songs, and dance.  Your favorite song to sing is twinkle twinkle little star.  I love it when you sing.  I also love it when you read books by yourself, out loud.

When we go outside, you like to collect rocks and look for bugs.  You are surprisingly good at picking up bugs without squishing them.

You love all animals and always enjoy going to Ardenwood farm to see the goats, chickens, and bunnies.  You like to pet the goats and chase the chickens.  Sometimes you even manage to pet the chickens, though mostly they are too fast for you.

You have become quite independent and want to do many things for yourself.  You like to try to dress yourself and don't want any help, even though you still need it.  You can put a skirt on all by yourself and sometimes you can get pants on by yourself too.  Though many times you end up with both legs in one pant leg!  It's ok, you're still learning.  You're pretty good at putting on your own shoes and you rarely let me pick out which ones you will wear anymore.  You are a shoe girl and you know which ones you want to wear.

You give the best hugs and kisses and are very good at making me feel better if I am sad.  One day I was upset about something and crying and you said "huggy" to ask me if I needed a hug.  I said I did need a hug, so you gave me a big hug and completely melted my heart while also cheering me up.

You are such a sweet little girl and I love you more and more every day!
