Birthdays and Milestones

Hey ya'll!  I just turned 2!!!  I know, it's hard to believe I'm all grown up now.  I had a great day.  I had a birthday party with a few of my friends.  My parents kept it small, but I'm a shy little girl, so I barely spoke a word while anyone was here.  I take after my Mommy in that respect, ya know? 

With my birthday being here and all, I realized I haven't told you much about my milestones.  I've accomplished a lot for a 2 year old!  I'm talking in sentences.  Actually make that conversations.  I know my ABC's, I can count to 20, I know about every toddler song there is to know... for instance I love to sing Itsy Bitsy Spider, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Frere Jacques, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Happy Birthday, and now I'm really into Christmas songs.  Let it Snow, Jingle Bells, and Jingle Bell Rock are my favorite!  Daddy and Avery sing along with me, too.  It's pretty awesome.  Mommy tries to sing along, but she doesn't know the words and tries to make them up, but Avery and I set her straight.  I also love to jump on the coach, fall backwards, and chase after my brother!  He's awesome!  Have I mentioned that??  I'm also walking up and down stairs, drinking from a cup, and can use a spoon and fork.  I also know my full name, but as you can tell from the video below, I'm not giving it up that easily. 

I had my wellness appointment today.  It went very well.  My doctor is super nice, and she is really impressed with me.  Thought you'd want to know my stats... I'm 24 lbs, 12 oz and 35 1/4' tall.  In other words, I'm tall and thin, as I've always been and a healthy little girl.  I also got my flu vaccine today, so hopefully I won't be a sicky poo this winter!  My doc did think I'm getting a tiny bit of an ear infection, but hopefully it will pass.  Thanksgiving is coming up and I want to be well! 

Well, I should go.  I'm exhausted from all the excitement of my birthday weekend.  I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving.  My grandma is coming and I'm excited to see her!  I'm also very thankful to have such wonderful friends and family like you.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Hugs and kisses,
