Two Years Old

So much has been going on here, it's going to take a few posts to get through it all, but I thought I'd start with Charlotte's birthday. She officially turned two on August 17th and it still seems crazy that she's not a baby anymore. We celebrated on the Saturday before with daddy and our family up here in WA, just a small family dinner and then cupcakes and presents. She had so much fun opening her presents, her favorites were her scooter and Barbie. On her actual birthday, we got to spend the morning with Grammy at the park, including a picnic lunch, and then we had birthday dinner pizza and more cupcakes! She got to open more presents and loved her jewelry and baby doll.

She is the funniest little girl I've ever seen. She loves all things girly, Barbies, dolls, bunnies, purses, jewelry, princesses, Tinkerbell, if it's pink and sparkly and girly, she loves it! She also still loves to read books and will sit for quite a while turning the pages and "reading" to herself. She loves to be outside, loves all the puppies that she gets to be around up here, loves "coffee" from Starbucks (aka, a vanilla non-coffee frozen drink), loves cookies and cupcakes and loves to be in the water.

She says the silliest things that always keep me laughing. If she's not sure what an animal or person is supposed to say and you ask her, for example, what does a fish say? She'll answer back "fish fish" in a really high pitched voice. She calls Tinkerbell "Baybell", she can say Cinderella, she calls cameras and sunglasses "cheese", she loves to brush her teeth, and this girl will sing all day long! Her favorites to sing along with are Twinkle, Twinkle, Jesus Loves Me, Where is Charlotte, This Little Light, This is the Day, God is so Good, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and if she has the cd to sing along, she'll sing Disney songs like Hakuna Matata, You Can Fly, Mickey Mouse Club, most of the High School Musical songs...she just LOVES to sing!! And I have to admit, her sweet little voice is so cute!

She goes in for her two year check up next week, so I'll post all the stats as soon as we get back home. And I know I need to post pictures, I'll get them up as soon as I can. Stay tuned for more on moving across the country, Timothy starting school, and what will probably turn into a million questions and things about buying a house for the first time!!
