Miss Paige you are 2 years old today, which means it is also your golden birthday!
It's hard to believe you are already 2! You have brought so much joy and love and let's not forget the drama into our home.
You are as sweet as pie and full of hugs and kisses. You will be playing by yourself and will just out of the blue drop everything and come and plop yourself into our laps for a snuggle. You still let us rock you at naptime and at night, which is my favorite! You often fall asleep in my arms in the glider at naptime, but at night you usually only last for a book or two, a couple of songs, and then you point to your bed. I suppose you are getting a little big making it a bit uncomfortable, but I am going to keep doing it until you refuse :)
You have a very typical brother/sister relationship with Luke. You love him and play with him until you annoy him enough and he does the same to you. It really is the best to see you two play together though. It really is not the best to tell you two to quit touching each other or to leave each other alone. There are many more years of that ahead of us though! He is a great big brother to you and tries to teach you all kinds of things (good and bad). You listen to him more than you listen to us at times. You have finally started saying his name! You have always had your own way of saying his name that we never quite understood, but we got a loud and clear "Uke" from you about a week ago. Now you are saying it all of the time. You were looking for him at the park the other day and were yelling "Uuuuukkkkkeee" so loudly! The best part of you saying his name though is the emphasis on the "k" at the end (just like walk, park, milk)!
You are one smart little girl, but I do believe you are much smarter than we even know because you haven't shared that sweet little voice of yours with us too much. Within the last couple of months we have seen your vocabulary start to expand and I have a feeling in just a few months you will be chatting up a storm. Don't get me wrong though, you know how to get across what you want! And if you don't get what you want, we will all know about it!
You love music and along with that you love to sing and dance. Every time we are in the car you request "Bop" (a Kid's Bop CD Grammy got you for Easter). It is getting a little old to Luke and me, but you love it. We watch lots of kid's music videos On Demand at home because you are constantly requesting to dance. I see dance classes in your future for sure :)
You are shy at first and can be easily overwhelmed, even at your own home as we found out at your birthday party this past weekend. However, you come out of it after not too long and go on being your crazy, silly self.
You are fearless and tough! We have always known this, but it became even more evident this summer in the pool. You will climb as high as you need to go to get something and "just go for it" when you come across something new. You were going down big waterslides with Daddy the other weekend at the waterpark! The fearlessness in you is exciting and terrifying to me!
We love you so much Paigey Boo! We can't wait to see what the next year brings!
Happy Golden Birthday Baby Girl!
