Happy happy birthday my lovely little two-year-old! Two years of having you around have been so wonderful! Your personality shines through more and more each day and we love it! You crack us up all the time with your funny faces and expressions, the famous ogre walk (oh yeah, can't wait to tell you about that one when you are older) and just hearing your laugh. Your laugh is so contagious! It is definitely Dad and I's most favorite sound by far. You are so happy-go-lucky and easy going... most of the time. Don't think we haven't gotten lucky enough to skip your "terrific" two's stage. You are definitely testing the boundaries more and more, but I just keep reminding myself that it means you are learning and growing and that always makes for a happy Mamma.
Now for the stats: You currently weigh 25 lbs and you are 33 inches tall. Still petite as always. You not only have a long torso, but long legs as well. Currently you wear size 24 months, but are getting into some 2T's for your tops, but you are still holding strong with 18 month bottoms. (it's the fact that you are long and lean) Mom heard a theory a long time ago that if you take the height of your two-year-old and double it, that is how tall you will grow to be. We'll see how accurate that theory turns out to be, but as of right now you are projected to be 5'6". Dad and I were pretty surprised when we learned that. Even though it's average height I am not very tall, so we figured you'd stay on the shorter side like your mamma. We are anxious to see if it will hold true or not.
Other things you enjoy are being outside. You, my dear girl, would live outside if we let you. It is the highlight of all your days. You can't wait to put your sandals on and start exploring. You still love collecting rocks, but you are starting to branch out to flowers now too. Speaking of sandals... you LOVE shoes, especially your "fancy" shoes (church shoes). I think the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning, besides look for Daddy, is to put on your fancy shoes. It is so cute, but I think we might be in trouble later if this passion continues later in life. You are learning new words all the time. Most recently you started saying: thank you, doggie, blessy (bless you), all done, and want some. You coloring and you are such a good helper around the house! You throw some of your diapers in the trash, put your toys away, and put your bottles in the sink. We love your helpfulness!
