2 Years Old!!!

My little girl turned two! It is amazing how fast these last two years have gone by. She is so much fun and we feel so blessed to have her in our home! She brings us so much joy and we love her tons and tons! She is growing like a weed and learns new things daily, constantly making me laugh with things she does or says;) Some of her favorite things right now are:
Anything and everything to do with water...pool, tub, sink, mud, rain..basically anything, we are constantly drying her up!
Playing with Yankee, they have become the best of buds and she just loves telling him what to do!
Being outside...even in the heat;)
Any bug she sees she screams 'buggy' and tells me she is getting it;)
Climbing up and down EVERYTHING..she just learned she can climb up our trash can to get on the counter to play in the sink;)
Reading books
Making lots of messes
Helping mom with everything I do as well as being daddy's little helper
Loves to dance!! I love watching her start to dance around when she hears some good music;)
Favorite movies at the moment are: "mogley" (Jungle Book) "Trzan" (Tarzan) "Bear" (Brother Bear) "Ferd" (Cliford) "Bears" (Carebears) and "Cat" (Oliver and Company)
She has began to love her baby dolls..so she got a stroller for them and now loves pushing them around
Anytime she wants to leave the house comes with her shoes and tells me "car?"
She is getting really good at puzzles and loves to play with them
Still isn't the best eater in the world but eats enough to keep her crazy amount of energy up;)
Social butterfly around any kids
And so much more...we love our little Angel!
For her actual birthday I had to work so we celebrated it the day before and we were going to go to the beach, since she absolutely loves it but the weather said possible tropical storm so we decided to play it safe and took her to 'Chucky Cheese' She loved it and had tons of fun!
She was a little short, so I had to climb in and help her up so she could go around the cat walk..


She had to keep her bear with her the first little while...

She played on the merry go round the most...around and around and around...probably 20+ times;) her favorite!


Big girl..with dad's help!


The BIG truck..

Gets a little scary when it tips, she wasn't so sure about it at this point!

Daddy teaching her how to play:)

Afterwards we went home, decorated and had a little party for her with Nana, Pops, and Kelsey on Skype;) She picked out her cake..a little dog! Here she is blowing out her candles..two and one candle to grow on;) I need to be better next year and try to make her a cake..I plan on practicing;)
Present time...

Yummy yummy cake;)

Her baby stroller she immediately started playing with! She is becoming more a little girl;) I love you Ems tons and tons and am so grateful I get to be your Mommy!!! xoxox
