Olivia Paige is TWO!

At 1:23pm today....

My little 2lb 14.4 oz baby girl turns TWO!

ONE                                    TWO

You single handedly keep our household free from the sound of silence.  You talk, talk, talk, talk, talk!  You spout out new words daily, and repeat everything that comes out of mommy & daddy's mouth.  You are always putting 2, 3, 4 words together & are on the brink of making sentences.  You are a little mother asking your crying brothers "ut appen?"  {what happened?}  And you insist on them behaving just so.  Telling them "shhh" when they cry in time outs or walking them over to me when they hide from diaper changes.  Beyond your vocabulary, your knowledge amazes me on a daily basis.  You want to know everything!  You are learning your colors, so far you know 5 pretty well.  And you can point out & name 7 body parts.  You like Elmo & babies.  But you also like to drive trucks & trains with your brothers.  Your brothers call you "Yi-ya."  You call yourslef "Ya-ya!"  You wear a size 6 shoe.  24month-2T pants.  And 2T-3T tops.  You LOVE your mama {and your lovie!}  You enjoy the opportunity to make your own decisions.  I often ask you want you want for meals & make what you suggest.  You sleep 12 hours at night, in your big girl bed.  And take one 2 hour nap each day.  You are definately a girl!  You like purses.  And I have caught you in the bathroom rubbing blocks all over your face (like make-up).  You like pretties in your hair.  Like neclaces, bracelets & even rings. 

It has been amazing watching you grow from such a fragile baby... to such a brilliant little girl.  I can't even begin to imagine what the next year will have in store for you!  I love you Olivia Paige!  Happy Birthday!
