Our little one is now officially TWO. Where and why has this past year gone by so fast. At one moment I could not wait for this age, where she's sociable and semi-self dependent. Now that she's in this point of life and answers no to everything, I can't tell you what I would give to have her swaddled back in her newborn blanket snoozing away. Life, let me keep my baby A BABY.
She's weighing somewhere around 25 pounds, yes she was a 6 pounder at birth, but generally babies catch up on their weight as they grow. Still wearing 18 month bottoms, she has now graduated to some 2T tops and lets not forget how her size five diapers swallow her.
Favorite Movie: Frozen. When Let it Go starts to play, she drops everything she is doing to dance and yes she even sings "go" repeatedly through the whole 2.5 minutes of the song. It's really quite entertaining.
Favorite Pastime: Coloring. Yes our little Pabl(a) Piccaso loves to share her artwork.. on the walls of our rental, her clothes, our bedspread, and her art table. Time to stockpile up on those Magic Erasers, Mr. Clean you're welcome in our home anytime.
Favorite Food(s): Well her diet explains her wardrobe size. I once was that individual that criticized the "bad" parents who fed their children stupid stuff just so they wouldn't "starve" I even swore I would never succumb to that. Well all I can say is never say never... our 2 year old eats what she wants because she has a mind of her own. If she doesn't want it, she won't eat it.
We've progressed from wanting popcorn everything to popcorn sometimes. Mac 'n cheese, fruit popsicles... actually fruit everything, ice cubes, sweet potatoes, almond milk, and the occasional stir fry and meat/veggie bake from mom and dad's plate now make up the food pyramid of our daughters diet.
Favorite Animal: Pretty much anything that makes a noise. Blakely and I like to get in a Meow contest which consists of us meowing like cats back and forth to each other. I have to say that Bryan really like this one, and blakely has surpassed me when it comes to who makes the most realistic cat noise.
Favorite Word: I really can't believe I just made a category for favorite word!? Aren't all two year olds favorite word No? She has been talking a lot more lately and randomly too. The other day I was pulling some bags out of our storage closet and she asked, mom are you okay? I was like wait what? yes mommy is okay then she had to reassure herself by asking if I was sure... She also loves to ask what was that with everything that makes a noise. She loves to surprise bryan and I with new words and sentences.
Blake has an attitude just like her mother, in a way thats a good thing but it also is not such a good thing. My mother said to me when I first found out that I was pregnant that was goes around comes around ten fold. Good call mother goose, good call. This child is something else and I feel the older she gets the more Bryan and I are going to have on our hands.
Did I mention how OCD she is too? I'm not kidding, if something has a place that's where it will go. I couldn't be more proud of a two year old who organizes. (insert witty mark of how my child is better than yours here.)
Our baby cheeks has brought us more joy and love than thought imaginable. She surprises us daily and makes us so proud. We love you little Blake and Happy Birthday!
