I can't believe I stopped blogging right around Emma Claire's second birthday. She has grown so much and is SUCH a hoot lately. She makes our days brighter, harder, sweeter, funnier, and we don't know what we would do without her. She is FULL of personality and is just so funny.
At night she has to be surrounded by all of her "feeeends" aka her 5 baby dolls, bunny lovie, mr. bear, elmo, and dog.
She has lo mein noodles a while back and apparently that was the funniest thing EVER. She couldn't stop laughing at the noodles.
She loves to go visit her friends. This was right before having a jammie girls night with some of our closest friends.
Life with a two year old is never boring, that's for sure.
She loves to give "thumbs up" just like this. It is one of my favorite things she does.
Life is also just a tad dramatic around here most days.
She is never lacking in facial expressions.
I left her with daddy for about 2 minutes, and this happened. It was eyeliner. Apparently she thought it would be better used as lipstick.
Those are just a few of my favorite memories as of lately. Here are some of the things I have written down about this age in my phone and don't want to forget.
* She calls food "foon". And it's just as hilarious in person as it sounds reading it here.
* Our friends Bekah and Chris are lovingly referred to as "baba and tis!" on a daily basis.
* She has a wild imagination. We constantly bring animals, babies, dinosaurs everywhere with us.
* She just started pretending that she "leaves" to go somewhere. Usually to the store to buy "Tandy" ;-) But most of the time it's to "Turch" and she always brings friends back with her. It's almost always "baba and tis".
* Back on 10.21.13 she sang Happy Birthday for the first time. Now she can sing almost the entire song by herself.
* Speaking of singing she can sing almost her entire alphabet, Jesus Loves Me, and twinkle twinkle.
* She can almost count to 20 on her own. She gets from 1-10 and then says "yebben. twelbe. fo-teen fo-teen.." and so on until she gets to twenty.
* The week she turned two she started calling me "Mommy" instead of "Momma". I might have cried just a bit.
* We were playing in her kitchen a few weeks ago and she randomly said, "My kitchen. Nice. Clean!"
* She always is asking for me to "Read book me" and "Hode you, momma. Hode you!"
* The last week of November she started asking "Wassat, momma? Wassat?" About pretty much everything.
* She calls cupcakes "Cupcapes"
* Just this week she will ask, "Hear somfing, Momma? Hear somfing?" if she hears a loud noise.
I just can't get over how her verbal language skills have exploded since turning two. I knew it was coming but WOW. It's so neat to be able to have a conversation with her. She also talks so well with other kiddos and adults. She can easily talk about her day, or family, or animals to church nursery workers. They think it's hilarious.
