2 Years Old!

Yep, I'm 2!

Today our little girl turns two years old...unreal.

Her personality:  Mya is a little firecracker.  She is independent, imaginative, sassy, cute, talkative, amazing little lady.  Her sweet little voice melts my heart, especially when she says "Wuv you Mommy" or "Wuv you Daddy!"  She is non-stop energy, yet she is very caring.  She is quite gentle and is a good little mommy to her baby dolls.  When we pretend to play night-night, she rubs our backs, pulls the blanket on us, and hums a song...she is very nurturing.  She has a mind of her own, "I do it," is a very regular thing she says.

Favorite things:  playing with stickers, her daycare buddies, coloring, playing with instruments, baby dolls, vacuuming with Mommy, Curious George, Winnie the Pooh, playing in our bed, reading, painting, Play Doh, taking baths, being tickled by Daddy, and washing her hands.

Favorite foods:  Mya is VERY picky, but she will eat hot dogs, Pop Tarts, pineapple, grapes, bananas, strawberries, pizza, grilled cheese sandwiches, crackers, cupcake frosting, chicken nuggets, fries, pancakes, string cheese, and yogurt.

Things she knows:  how to count to 12, her colors (although she sometimes says yellow for white), many songs, and words in some books (memorized, of course!).

Now onto her day...

Today was Mya's 2 year check-up.  She weighed in at 27 lbs. and 2 oz. (57th percentile) and 32.5 inches tall (18th percentile).  I was surprised with her height...I thought she was tall for her age.  Just goes to show what I know!

We had a fun birthday night.  We had a pizza picnic on the carpet.  Well, we did and Mya decided she didn't want pizza but did want a hot dog.  Oh well!  We also watched Monsters Inc.  Then we sang "Happy Birthday" and ate cupcakes.  Mya ate the frosting off of hers and then took Greg's and ate his frosting too.  Then she gave the cupcake (minus frosting) back to Greg and said "Daddy eat cupcake."  :)




The one sure-fire way to get Mya to stop eating cupcake frosting is to mention the word presents.  That's all we had to say and she was ready to open presents!  She opened up a few presents from us and then it was off to bed!  We're looking forward to next week and spending some time in the Dells as part of Mya's birthday present!




Our lives have been filled with such joy since Mya came along!
