My {almost} 2 year old, a few notes

How are you almost a month from being two? I want to record your every move so that I never forget this stage. Everyday with you is a wild adventure. You surprise me with the words that you know and skills that you have. You are completely sassy and ridiculously loving at the same time.  You can throw the biggest tantrum over completely nothing, but I deeply miss you the second you go to bed.

Some of crazy things you say I never want to forget: "STAY!" (when you want us to go away, like when you go potty), "Eleanors the boss!" (because I like to remind you that I'm the boss), "happy do!" (you say this when you are enjoying what we are doing or feeling happy. We have no idea where this came from but we all say it constantly when we are happy!), "chich!" for church, "BEEB!" (when you are mimicking how Daddy and I call each other 'babe'), "stronger!!" (you love to randomly tell us how strong you are while flexing your muscles)


Other random things:

You moved to a big girl bed over Thanksgiving break! The transition was really easy as pie for you!


We also focused a lot on potty training over Thanksgiving Break! Thanks to your auntie and Lou, you've been interested in the potty for awhile...and you've transitioned pretty easily. You still have accidents here and there but you usually wake up dry after naps/in the morning. You are such a smart girl and I'm so proud of you!



You love Mickey Mouse, Elena and being a Mama to babydolls. You also got a kitchen for Christmas which is easily your favorite toy!


You can say up to 4-5 words together these days!

your 'cheese!' face is pretty intense!

You painted your daddy a mug for Christmas and he has used it everyday since. He loves it and you love to remind him that "I paint that!"

You love to play in the water and 'wash your hands' while dumping water everywhere.





You've been sick with the stomach flu quite a bit this winter :(

 We took you to your first movie over winter break..it was an adventure to say the least, but we made it through the whole thing! You also ate more popcorn than Daddy and I together!

Christmas was so fun with you this year. You loved leaving cookies and coffee out for Santa, although you look very unsure!

Ready to go shopping with Grandma!


As close as you would get to Santa



I love you baby girl.
