I can't believe our little girl is 2 year old already! Here are some things we love about her:
She loves to dance. She say, "dance, dance, dance" and expect us to put music on to dance to. She loves to wear her tutu and wave her wand around. She even tries to lift her leg up like a ballerina.
She is a talker, she is always asking "wheres the ___?" with her hands out, palms raised. Where's Ethan? is another frequently asked one.
She can be very dramatic. When we tell her to do something, she will pause with a dramatic sigh and then say "oh...okay" Her temper tantrums can be magnificent. Who knew you could get so upset over which shirt to wear?
Speaking of clothes, if Lillie had her way she would change outfits several times a day. Every time we turn around, she is stripping down and looking for a new outfit to wear.
She loves to accessorize. We never know what she is going to put on and how it she will do it. She loves her little purses.
She loves to sing, we never know what she is singing, but she loves to drag out the endings with a very loud voice.
She likes to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Diego, and Curious George. We just showed her the original Care Bears recently and she is in love. Her face lights up and she squeals when she hears the care bears theme song.
She likes everything to be clean. She will throw out things when she is done, when she eats a banana, she peels the whole thing, throws the peel in the sink and then eats it. She is always picking up toys and putting them away.
She is a climber. We've found her on top of Ryan's dresser trying to feed his fish. She learned to climb up the ladder on the swing set the day we got it when she was 18 months.
After bath time she plays the same little game. We wrap her tight in a towel and pick her up. She'll ask, "Where's my hands?" And then proceed to pull her hands up to the top of her towel near her chin. When one pops up, she exclaims, "Here it is!" and does the same for the other. Its like its a big surprise when her hand pops out.
She is a good mommy to her dolls. She wraps them in blankets, tries to feed them and gives them lots of kisses. She has even picked up Ethan's utensil and tried to feed him when he didn't want to eat what we were having!
She is very particular with the dolls that can sleep on her bed with her each night. She gathers them all up, selects the ones for her bed and puts the others in their place around the room. Don't try to sneak one that's not allowed on her bed, she will know and let you know you are wrong!
She loves to give us kisses during the day, one on each cheek. But at bedtime she plays hard to get and tries to get out of giving us a kiss!
She is good at taking naps, she will lay in bed and most of the time I don't even have to shut the door. When she wakes up, she will come down the stairs and peek through the bannister with a big smile until you notice her.
She is a great eater. She will eat just about anything. Her favorite right now is broccoli. She loves to eat off Daddy's plate and is always digging into his tacos. I think its great she likes spices and bolder flavors than I do!
She loves to look at books and to be read to. Her favorite right now is There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.
She is one tough cookie, having a big brother like Ethan has gotten her used to rough play.
She likes to give hugs, but often if it is a little kid, she ends up knocking them flat on the floor.
She is growing every day, at her two year check up she weighed 23 lbs 13 oz and was 34.75 inches tall. That puts her at the 31st percentile for weight and 63rd percentile for height. No more bottoms of the charts for her!
She is beautiful, we love her curls, smile and little dimple.
We sure do love our precious little girl!
