Our Lilah is 2!!!

I was pretty sad to think about Lilah turning 2.  I love every second with her and I'm sad to see time passing.  She is not a baby anymore!  But every day with her is more and more fun because she can do so much!  I just love her little sweet personality.

Favorite things about Lilah at 2:  
  • She still loves her babies.  This includes various stuffed animals and dolls.  She is so tender with them.
  • She loves "Twinkle, Twinkle," "ABC song," and "Sunbeam."  She loves all songs, but we sing those 3 a lot.
  • She talks so much!  When she's not being shy, she's got a running commentary on everything.  "Where's Ethie?  Where'd he go?  Hmmm...  There he is!  Mommy, I jump?  Yiyah jumping high!  Oh, a baby!  Cute.  Ohhh.  Mommy, a snack?  You're awfum.  No, you're cute!"
  • She is such a watcher.  She likes to take in everything and observe other kids before she is comfortable joining in.  She is pretty shy when people talk to her, but she will let people in when she's ready.
  • She loves to get dressed.  I have to allow 30 extra minutes in the morning and at night for her to dress herself.  And change shoes a couple of times.  And outfits.  And accessories.  
  • She is so independent.  She gets pretty frustrated if she can't do it all herself, but she is persistent!  She usually says, "I did it!" after struggling for a while.
  • She loves to share and help others.  In nursery, she will bring the other kids a baby or book if they are sad.  She asks us "You okay?" if we get hurt.  She also loves to give hugs and kisses.  Sweet girl.
We celebrated her birthday before Nate left with the family.  It was such a nice evening to enjoy our sweet little 2-year-old!

                                  
So nice to be with family!
I think she blew it out about 5 times!



I love her little face!





Love this little girl so much!!!  Happy birthday, Lilah!
