The Last Two Years...

We had a great time celebrating E's birthday with the family this weekend. E received some great new toys that will hopefully be keeping her entertained for the next few weeks. I took some time today looking at how she's changed in the past 2 years and I thought that I'd share...


Newborn E...not even an hour old...
6-month old E...sitting up but not crawling or moving about too much
E at 1 year...she wasn't walking yet...but moved around any where that she wanted
18-month E...barely talking had less than a 10 word vocabulary
My 2-year old...runs everywhere, talks constantly

Below is a snip-it of the 2-year old E...
  • Loves Super Y on PBS and says "I'm a PBS kid" all the time
  • Loves to help sing "EIEIO" and "BI" (Bingo or Bible...)
  • Sleeps with a 2-layered fleece duck blanket that she won't give up even with the changing weather
  • Favorite breakfast is pancakes...but she'll tell you 'eggs' every morning (but won't eat them)
  • Loves to wear dresses and her splashin' boots (although not together)
  • Eats hummus for lunch commonly and uses a cracker as her spoon
  • Loves apricots and mangoes and yogurt
  • Reading is a favorite pastime whether she's reading to herself or being read to...loves her library books!
  • 101 Dalmatians and Little People are her favorite movies
  • Being outside is her favorite activity...loves going for walks and playing at the park(s)
  • 'Cross the bridge' is her favorite destination when we are on our walks
  • Enjoys hunting rocks and carrying them in a bucket
  • She is enamored with 'Uncle Brent' and loves being outside with G'pa
  • Loves to 'swing high' at G'pa and G'ma's house
  • Gets upset when the car and her 'seat' leave without her
  • Still talks about "toy box, finger, pinch" although it happened almost a month ago...(first bleeding incident)

I think she comes by reading naturally! The question is, how old will she be when she gets her first pair of glasses? I bet by the time she's 5 she'll have yet another trait from her parents!

Oh goodness Chris!! Comparing those 18 month and 2 year pics is amazing! Just how much her hair has grown! She is just so beautiful and the 2 year pic looks like a 5 year old! Isn't it sad when they start to look like little kids rather than babies!?!

It is amazing how quickly they change. She is finally due for a hair cut!! and she finally has enough hair to keep in some barrettes. Yipee! I thought at 1-year she no longer resembled a baby but I really believe that now! She is a little kid without lingering 'baby' qualities (if you don't look for a diaper, anyway).
