sweet, sassy little girl.\u00a0 How are you already 2 years old?\u00a0 First of all, your personality turned 2 about a week ago.\u00a0 All of a sudden you went from my sweet compliant happy baby&#8230;to a toddler who loves to tell me &#8216;no&#8217; (still with the sassy smile) and not give me kisses.\u00a0 I can handle all of it, but you HAVE to stop holding out on the kisses!!!<\/p>\n<p>You love your brother more than anything.\u00a0 If Reed does it, you are definitely going to do it too.\u00a0 This is not such a great thing for Mom and Dad since Reed is quite a punk.\u00a0 You can also hold your own against him.\u00a0 He plays pretty rough with you and you usually take it and then give him a swift kick in the leg&#8230;or bottom&#8230;or arm, really whatever is closest.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t want you two to fight, but it is strangely making you love each other more.<\/p>\n<p>You absolutely love to make us laugh.\u00a0 You are into putting on Daddy&#8217;s hat and Mommy&#8217;s shoes (even the heels, yikes!) and walking around to make us laugh.\u00a0 We need to take more video of your little voice and the funny things you say, because you.are.funny.\u00a0 You also love to tell us when something is funny.\u00a0 Everything is either &#8216;very&#8217; hot, or &#8216;very&#8217; cold or &#8216;very&#8217; funny.\u00a0 You love the word &#8216;very&#8217;.\u00a0 Cracks me up.<\/p>\n<p>Other than your brother I would have to say that Duke and Yaya are your favorite people.\u00a0 You like to make a phone out of all sorts of things&#8230;shoes, blocks, toy phones, my phone, etc.\u00a0 The person you ALWAYS call is Yaya.\u00a0 After you talk to Yaya you always ask for Duke.<\/p>\n<p>At the doctor on Friday we got your 2 year stats.\u00a0 You are in the 40th percentile in both height and weight.\u00a0 Still a skinny little 25 pounds, and 33 3\/8 inches.\u00a0 If the rule of thumb is right you will be around 5ft, 6in as a grownup.<\/p>\n<p>You love Elmo and Pooh bear, and pink and purple.\u00a0 Basically I think you just love to talk.\u00a0 Anything you can identify and talk about you will do so.<\/p>\n<p>You love anything with carbs and sugar.\u00a0 Enjoy it now little one!\u00a0 The only thing we have a hard time getting you to eat is vegetables.\u00a0 You do a great job with meat and fruit and dairy and bread (of course).\u00a0 I have to say your favorite food are probably scrambled eggs and &#8216;squishy&#8217; yogurt.\u00a0 It could be a whole lot worse&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You FINALLY sleep well.\u00a0 You are trying to give up your afternoon nap, but we aren&#8217;t going to let that happen just yet.\u00a0 Thankfully you sleep really well at night and wake up happy and sweet.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m afraid you really are ready to start potty training.\u00a0 We need to find a long weekend that we can devote to being at home and then get started on that process.\u00a0 Reed is your biggest cheerleader about potty training.\u00a0 For whatever reason he really wants you to use the potty.<\/p>\n<p>All in all&#8230;I love you little girl.\u00a0 I was so nervous about having a girl after the crazy sisters I have (I was never the crazy one, just had to make sure that was clear!)\u00a0 but you are truly a gift.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t imagine my life without you and I dearly love watching you grow up.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2381 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon
