Lexie's 2nd Birthday!

The day of Lexie's actualy birthday was pretty low key.  First the kids had homemade guac for their morning snack, and then the boys and I sang to Lexie with mini cupcakes from Aunt Amy.  The kids loved them. Then we went to the playground and saw some friends.  We came home to an awesome birthday package from Durham (Grandma, Grandpa, & Aunt Laura).  Every little girls dream... 10 outfits, and some books and a toy! Later in the evening Grandma came by to see our new 2 year old too!

Here are some things I want to remember about this fiesty little lady at age 2:
  • She is starting to talk more and more.  She finally calls me "Mommy," and she also says everyone elses names in our immediate family. It is so nice for her to covney her wants and needs verbally!
  • She got rid of her binky last week without too much fuss.  We took the to the mailbox for the mailman to give to little babies and that was that.  She slept less, but is getting back to normal.
  • She is in the process of potty training.  She never had a pee accident, but she is afraid to go #2... we are working on that, and fast!
  • She likes to have 2 of everything.  Pieces of food, toys, whatever... she wants one in each hand.  She sleeps with two toys now, her bunny and her lion, and she calls them, "two ahbee" (two babies).
  • She is and always has been a great kisser.  I love when she kisses me out of the blue. 
  • She has a rough side and a girly side.  She will play with her lion rawring, and then make the lion kiss the other toy that it was scaring!  So cute.
  • She keeps me very busy.  She is so fearless, and will take off without warning.  She isn't scared of anything which scares me to death!
  • She can drink from a regular cup.
  • She is a fantastic eater!  She will eat almost anything I make.  She loves fresh fruit and veggies.  Lately she has been on a carrot kick!
  • She doesn't listen very well.  I could repeat myself 5000 times and still get nothing out of her.  We are working on that.
