My baby turned two this weekend and I was a sobby, overly emotional, 28 week pregnant mess over the whole thing. I can’t believe that 2 years has gone by this fast and that all too soon my baby isn’t going to be my baby anymore. I’m due January 15th with this little one and while most days I feel like that is forever away (it is next year afterall) this weekend it felt like it was creeping up on me too fast.
Addie girl is such a little joy in our family! We had a small family birthday party yesterday for her and for family home evening watched a slideshow of her first two years (this is a FHE tradition we have whenever its one of the kids birthdays). The day was all about her and letting her know why we love her so much.
A little bit about Addie at 2 years old:
-she doesn’t like to nap
-she is talking up a storm. says words like: daddy, mommy, arson, emmy, ippy (for sippy cup), bampa (for grandma and grandpa) and so many more words. she will copy anything her big brother says too, which isn’t always a good thing (yes the word ‘fart’ is part of her vocabulary! much to my dismay!)
-my favorite thing she says, is when asked ‘why’ she will reply ‘tause’ it’s so cute
-she LOVES ‘be-bees’ real ones especially
-and ‘goggies’ (doggies) they’re another favorite
-when we’re driving in the car anywhere and she spots some cows out her window she will yell (loudly) ‘TOWS, TOWS, TOWS’ until someone responds
-she thinks she’s just one of the big kids
-she is taking her new position as resident two year old VERY seriously. sigh.
-prefers to pick out her own outfits
-her favorite songs are Popcorn Popping and I am a Child of God
-she is in size 2T pants, 3T tops and size 6 shoes.
-she adores her big brother…most of the time

Love the cake stand you used for cupcakes! I did a slide show of my son’s first year to play at his first birthday party – I loved doing that and plan to do it for this next baby’s birthday!

LindsayB says
i thought when i saw her in RS on sunday she was old enough to be in nursery, but way more fun to have her for some entertainment for a while! she is such a darling little girl and sounds like a lot of fun.
