Saylor is TWO!

I'm a terrible mother. I'm just now getting around to blogging about my baby's birthday! Shame on me.
Monday, my little girl turned TWO YEARS OLD! We had a low-key day, made blueberry muffins together that morning, went to our usual "Movers and Shakers" at the library, and had an extremely healthy dinner at Chic-fil-a with some cupcakes and play time!

Mommy and the Birthday Girl

Family is coming in next weekend for her party, so we will celebrate more then. Basically we are gonna celebrate most of the month.

In the last year, my little Miss Priss has really come out of her shell and within the last few months has become much more independent! THANKFULLY!! I had terrible visions of her being stuck to my leg until I peeled her off and drug her kicking and screaming into preschool or kindergarden. She now LOVES to go to church and asks about it repeatedly throughout the week. (Mostly because she absolutely loves one of her teachers. And this week she graduates to a different class--we will see how that goes.) She is still very cautious, but I kinda like that about her.
She loves to run, and jump, and sing, and dance, and throw, and catch, and count. She's quite the little entertainer! She sings Row, row, row your boat and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star really well! And she loves the attention she gets for it. Yesterday she was singing Twinkle, twinkle at the top of her lungs at Hobby Lobby and excitedly watched all the little old ladies giggle as she sang.

She loves to make people laugh.

She loves to play with her kitchen and her baby doll.

She loves Sesame Street, especially Elmo. Elmo pretty much makes everything better.

She still sleeps with her monkey and a baby doll and has to be covered up PERFECTLY! Oh my word, if it's not perfect, she screams "TOVER UP" over and over again until we go in there and make sure every possible inch of skin is covered. She is still sleeping in her crib. Is it bad that I really, really like that she is contained??

She's so dad-gum sweet! She will just randomly run up and hug Mas and I and say "I wuv you, Mommy/Daddy"! It melts my heart! She loves her babies and is so sweet and gentle with them. She reads to them, feeds them, rocks them, etc. It is absolutely precious to witness!

She's a big girl....she is 37.5 inches tall (97%) and 31 lbs (90%)! And if that whole theory about doubling their height at 2 yrs old to determine their adult height is accurate--she will be 6'2". Holy cow!!

Our sweet little two year old is so much fun! We are enjoying every single minute with her and she definitely keeps us laughing! We are honored to be her parents and are thankful for our healthy, happy baby....er, toddler!
