at two.....

Audrey is:
-24 lbs.
-her hair is getting so so long and she likes picking out her bows.
-she likes to hold her hair, and mine, when it's windy outside so our hair doesn't get messed up.
-she loves to build! duplos, wooden blocks, mega blocks, stacking cups...she's our little architect
-she loves animals and learning about them and playing with small replicas of them. She also loves playing zoo.
-she loves babies and now says she's their Mommy. She's sweet with them and will say....
"awww.....little baby, you so cuuuuuute", "whasa matter little cutie?" all the while making this sweet little scrunched up face of love at them.
-loves loves loves playdoh, painting, coloring and all things crafty and artistic! Mommy's girl!
-enjoys riding on Daddy's back and asks him to multiple times a day. It's her preferred means of travel!:)
-loves books and always asks to "read nother one!!!"
-has lately, when Patrick and I are having a conversation or talking on the phone she'll say "What are you guys talking bout?" Cracks us up!
-Also while Patrick and I are talking, especially at dinner and we laugh at something, she covers her mouth and pretends that she thinks what we said was funny too, and does this little pretend laugh. :)
-Still loves fruits and veggies and exists mainly on them.....though she has definitely inherited her Daddy's sweet tooth. The girl loves candy and will do nearly anything for a gummy bear or a lollipop(dumdum).
-loves her cousin and her friends. She'll talk about playing with them all the time.
-enjoys singing and dancing and fully expects everyone to get up and dance with her...she insists!
-loves her music class and story time at the Library.
-loves to spin...the thrill she gets from spinning around...it's dizzying!
-enjoys puzzles
-loves baths with Mommy
-has a ton of loveys, including: her Mimi's, "soft blankey" as she calls it. It has the satin on one side and minky in the other, her "lemon blankey", the one I made her at the beginning of summer this year, and Bear, who has had a post all his own. She has quite the entourage when getting out of bed in the mornings and after nap.
-thinks if anything is broken or torn, Mommy can fix it. She is always saying "Mommy can sew it" or "Mommy has tape....tape it Mommy".
-is funny, beautiful and full of LOVE and LIFE!

Is it possible that we love her even more now than we did 2 years ago when she was placed in our arms!? Somehow we do. She brings us such joy and laughter. Thank you God for this gift!
