Two Years with This Tiny One

 

Happy birthday Miss Maylee! I can't believe she is two, but goodness when you ask her how old she is....it is just about the cutest thing to see her little fingers go up and to hear her way "teeoooo". She is my little snuggle bug, firecracker, silky blanket loving, crazy haired, smiley, chip loving, dairy free, music loving, little princess!  

My silly little girl decided she wanted to be potty trained at the ripe old age of 22-months and it stuck! She has done great, but I still put her in diapers at night and naps. She is turning into quite the chatterbox and I am loving the new words she says every day. Her "I-oh-you" (I love you) is ADORABLE. She fills in the missing words to songs if I pause when singing.  She LOVES ring around the rosies and to dance.

She is a picky eater and still no dairy. She loves her "veggie cheese", BBQ chips, smoothies, fruit snacks, raw tortillas (yuck, I know), strawberries, mandarin oranges, granola, raisins, french fries, yogurt, plain wheat bread, and chicken sticks. She has decided she will no longer eat pizza or bananas. She will not touch any sort of beans, soup, sandwich, or pasta.

She goes to bed about 8:30 and is up around 9. She naps around 1:30 or so for 2-4 hours. She loves to slide down the slide and HATES swimming. She loves butterflies.  The garbage man scares the shnikeys out of her. She loves her silky blanket and books. She loves her brothers, particularly if they are being silly or play "run" around the house where they literally run everywhere and she runs says "run run run" and it is so cute! She is getting better in nursery, but still likes to be held. She loves Bubble Guppies, Word World, Bear in the Big Blue House, Blues Clues, and Mickey Mouse Club House.  She loves shoes and sparkly things...but definitely prefers to be nude at home. (We are working on that one, but it is a pain when she wants her shorts, underwear and shoes off every time she goes potty!) She adores her cousin Lainy who equally adores her back. They are inseparable when we are all together. 

2-year old stats:
Height: almost 32" I believe which puts her in the 4%
Weight: Just over 20 lbs which is in the 3.7%
Head circumference: Not sure on the measurement, but I know it was 50%

The doc is happy she is on the charts and we can wait six months before another weight check. YAY! And no ear infections for almost two months now so the dairy free diet with Prevacid seems to be working! Whew....
