2 years old!

this little cutie pie...

turned 2 years old while we were in VA!!!

craziness!

she is such a blessing and such a disaster at the same time ;)

sometimes she is the cutest thing you ever did see

and other times she exemplifies and exaggerates what is known as the "terrible twos"

at two years old, she 

sings along w/ a few songs

counts to 12

recognizes letters, shapes, and colors

loves giving hugs and kisses

is still tied to her soother at both nap time and night time

usually takes a 2-3 hr. nap everyday

sleeps from 7:30-6:30

is quite the little social bug

looooooves going places

swims by herself w/ a little floaty tied around her waist

is always excited about skyping w/ her Mummsy

doesn't share so well

pushes boundaries all. day. long.

loves to do everything "by yourself"

has pronoun problems ;)

brings a smile to most anyone's face

seems to be slightly OCD

(she likes to put things in order, places certain things "just so," and when she draws, she just does these little petite squiggles :)

is a master pretender

(she plays mommy to her monkeys all day long! she feeds them, cleans up their messes, swaddles them, swings them, has conversations w/ them, combs their hair, sits them on the potty, puts them to bed, makes sure they have their soothers, etc.)

at this point, Bump doesn't really get birthday parties because it's just a tad too hectic for me to put something together while we are in VA

on her birthday she got to spend part of the day at Grandpa and Grandma Sonifrank's, and part of the day at Grandad and Mummsy's

she was thrilled w/ being the centre of attention, and was super happy about opening her presents :)

the bday girl:

we love you Bump!

you truly light up our lives :)
