Well Rylin turned two on Thanksgiving this year. We had ice cream cake instead of pie that evening, and all of our family members called to wish her a Happy Birthday, but we decided to really celebrate it on Friday. Since so many family members were in town it made for a great party! Rylin had been talking for months about an Elmo party, so she got to wear her halloween costume twice! She was a lot of fun to watch and truly enjoyed her birthday!
I love age 2! Yes, along with it come the occasional fits and what not, but she is so much fun! She is talking up a storm, has quite the sense of humor, and really enjoys life! There is so much to be learned from a 2 year old! She loves to follow Kacia around, and constantly narrarates life for us. If Kacia coughs, she says, "mom, Kacia agh, agh" (cough noise). If Kevin blows his nose, "mom, Daddy _____ " (I don't know how to even attempt writing that sound). Kacia is very into spelling out everything right now, so we sound out words together, and Rylin is somewhat picking up on that. She just thinks everything starts with the letter B. She will say, "mom, b-b-b-b-car! b-b-b-house! b-b-b-b-grandma!" And the more I laugh, the more "words" she comes up. She also enjoys playing baby dolls, "watching" Baby Einstein, playing dress up, singing, books and just being silly! She thinks that she is quite independent. She insists on putting on her own pants (today they are backwards!), she wants to buckle everything (car seat, grocery carts, etc) by her self. One of her favorite words right now, aside from Hungry! is Self! She constantly yells "Self! Self" when she wants to open up the yogurt or string cheese, or zip up her jacket, etc. Many of these she can't really do by herself yet, so then the occassional "Help!" comes out, but I say hey, if she wants to learn to do these things by herself it is only going to make my life easier in the long run!
I can't believe my baby is 2, I guess it's good she won't be "the baby" for much longer, she is quite excited about the new baby coming in June!
