I have started this post 3 times now and hope this one makes it to press! I had almost the entire post written complete with pictures a few weeks back and then in an instant...it was all gone, and I was staring at a blank screen. I almost cried a little bit ;) So I am trying again to tell you about your incredible 2nd year.
You have grown and changed from my baby into a little girl right before my eyes and though I miss my sweet tiny baby, I am just head over heels in love with the little girl you are becoming. The biggest change this year has been you talking...and talking...and talking...and then a bit more of the talking. Lately you will go on these talk-a-thon's for 30 or 40 minutes of just non-stop conversations with your self or your baby dolls and I get the biggest kick out of it. Here are some of the funny things you have been saying:
- "Mama you sit by me? You be my fend (friend)?"
- "What you chewing on in your mouf (mouth)?"
- "What dat guy/waydee (lady) doin'?"
- "I talk-a-nana." - this usually gets said when both your Daddy and I have told you no.
- "Hair down Mama." - you are not a fan of me clipping my hair up and insist I take it down.
- "Wook at dat Ho-Ho Mama!" - anyone you see with a white beard is a Ho-Ho (Santa). Black, white, brown or yellow...if you have a white beard, you're a Ho-Ho.
- "Who div me dis Mama?" - you are always very interested in who gave you certain toys.
- "No Daddy dit you, Mama. Mama dit you." - you always insist on me getting you out of your car seat when we gt home from daycare...your poor Dad. He is like a desperate boy in Jr. High that just wants the popular girl to give him the time of day...and you just break his heart every time. You are most definitely a Mama's girl.
- "Mama, baby Maesyn dot you tired? She kickin' you?" - this is a big theme right now as I am exhausted most of the time and you are always concerned about me. So sweet.
- "You wanna pay if me (play with me)?
- "Be fy-et!" - Be quiet...sweet baby Jesus give me strength when you shout this in my face :) Don't try this at 14 ma'am...but I'll give you a pass while you're still in diapers.
- "No like dis kind." - Any green food!
- "Ewwww....dux!" - this is how you let us know you think something is dih-dux-ing (disgusting). Nice.
- Get yo own piece!
I could go on and on...but those are the ones that come to mind. You just keep your Dad and I in stitches laughing all the time...even at the naughty things you do and say. It is so hard to discipline you many times because we cannot stop laughing!
Your Stats:
- You weigh 27 lbs. (50th percentile)
- You are 37.5 inches tall (97th percentile) - we still have no idea where you get this from but Nana wants you to play volleyball when you grow up!
- You wear 2T and 3T clothes and a size 7 0r 8 in your shoes.
- You still sleep from about 7:30pm - 7:30am and take a 2 hour nap religiously...such a great sleeper you are. We are praying your sister takes your lead!
What you love:
- Juice (we still give you half water half juice and you don't complain to much)
- Anything Mommy or Daddy are eating :)
- Suckers
- Spaghetti
- Anything Disney Princess...you know all of their names.
- Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
- Playing with blocks and building towers
- Playing "house" and being the Mama
- Snuggling and "rock-rocking" with Mommy
- French fries
- M&M's
- Doing your "work" on your cell phone and computer (hand-me-downs from Mommy)
- Visits from Nana and Papa
- Jumping on the bed
- Reading books
What you Do Not Like:
- Anything hygiene related (bath, brushing hair/teeth, changing your diaper, putting on lotion etc.) I don't think you like anyone trying to stop you as you are always on the go, go, go!
- Green foods...not sure when or why this happened but you are having no part of vegetables...won't even touch them
- Mornings. You are not little Miss Sunshine in the morning...wonder where you get that? Ha!
You got some big news in July as we found out you were going to be a big sister. This is how you felt about it when we broke the big news...
But you came around and now you are getting so excited to be a big sister to Baby Maesyn :)
We have had so many fun times this year and you are just the light of our lives. I can't wait to see what the next year brings as you grow and change with each passing hour it seems. You are truly the best thing your Dad and I have ever done and we cherish every day we get to share our lives with you.
We can't wait to see what year 3 will bring!!!
Love you baby girl,
Your Mama
