2 Years Old

Happy birthday to us! We are two years old today, and wow what a great year it was. We have grown so much in the past year that I'm not sure we can fit all of the excitement into one post. We are on our way to Detroit, Michigan, as we speak for Daddy's friend's wedding. That makes six states we've visited in our short two years we've been in existence. As for the rest, if you haven't been blessed by our presence in a while, we'll fill you in on all of the details. We are talking up a storm. The doctor said to shoot for 2 word phrases by now and we blew him away and prefer to use 3-5 word sentences. You can understand Lily better than me, but trust me I get my point across. Our vocabulary is so big Mommy stopped counting the words a few months ago. Again we like to use big words like helicopter, microwave, and caterpillar. We can count to 20, although we both skip "16" a lot. It's not really an important number right now anyway. We can say our ABC's and we both know a few colors. Lily's favorites are pink, green, and brown; mine lean towards blue and red. We're also pretty good at shapes having mastered circle, star, triangle, heart, oval, and square. We're both enjoy coloring and love making circles. I still like to organize the crayons a little bit more than I like to color though. We can sing quite a few songs like the Itsy Bitsy Spider, The Farmer in the Dell, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. We love entertaining Mommy in the car with our beautiful voices as I'm sure she would say. As for size, our official stats won't come out until November 11 when we go for our two year checkup, but I'm currently in a 2T or 3T depending on the outfit, and Lily is still hanging onto 18-24 month clothes and also fits into some 2T stuff. The length of pants is always a pain because I think we both were blessed with Mom's short legs. Other than that we are enjoying every minute and we can't wait to see what will happen this year. We love being two in our world!
