H - so much to report on and so little time; I'll just have to do this in sentence fragments and explain later!
We had a wonderful Christmas and NYE and then celebrated your 2nd birthday all last week. Things have been going great and I'll just spend a little time telling you about some of our most recent anecdotes and 'moments.'
For Christmas, the Griffith's and Morrison's came to stay and we had a big dinner with Bustamante's Christmas Eve & read stories, then Santa brought you a pink tricycle and a Raggedy Anne doll homemade by the elves. You especially loved getting Cat in the Hat from your cousins and made a big deal hugging the cat and saying; "my favowrite!" as we all gathered around the dining room table to watch (dad got this all on video for you).
We spent NYE at our place with a crew, including Nat, Maggie, G-Sam, G-muh, Alex, Karin, Drew, Anna, Bustamante's, etc. You had a big time and we were so excited to ring in the new year as a family.
Your birthday was a 3-day affair since we took you to Good Dog just the 3 of us for hot dogs and cupcakes on Frazier, then brought cupcakes to your school the next day, then had your official party with 30 adults and 15 kids on Saturday that week. Your favorite presents seem to be the vacuum cleaner from Grandparents and the cookies from Macy. You also loved wearing the new cupcake shirt and shoes from G-parents and the blue minnie gown Amoco brought you to save mommy from having to do laundry every night. And Daddy got you a new pet, Andy fish, who you named your self and always want to feed.
You LOVE blue and prefer cereal in a blue bowl with a blue spoon; liking your blue paci too and then there's your ice cream shirt and pants and I have a long-sleeve T shirt that is blue you like me to wear.
You like to help mommy with the laundry. You have been very concerned about "pretend fox" ever since seeing him at CNC when we went for storytelling, roasting chestnuts, and caroling. A lot of times you like to hang out in the car and rest in your carseat after school.
You love to sing "who goes to school today" and your hair is getting so long. You like to talk about Santa but still don't want to sit with him (and never did). You start singing "O Christmas Tree" randomly. You asked me to sing the "booty song" the other day which was hysterical since I didn't know it had a name, but your favorite is still Mary Had a Little Lamb.
Lately, you sometimes will complain about your back or shoulders and doing burpees - you are imitating mom and dad who are working out really hard lately. You can't stand for mommy to do her burpees and demand that I stop whenever I try. You like hummus and tell us so and you also tell Daddy "I like to suck my binkies."
You put Darcy in time out the other day and said that she had hurt you so she had to go to your bed. You are the best mama to your babies and have started learning relationships between all your family, like that Gigi is Eric's mom and Grand-muh is mine. It just amazes us the things you pick up on. You like to say "I gotta go get my diaper bag real quick" or tell us to "wait just a minute." Your favorite cartoons are Dora and Martha Speaks. You love to give and get zu-berts too.
I'll write more soon - but just needed to get a little caught up before this got away from me. We stay so super busy!! Love you little sweetpea :) Mommy
