Happy October!

I LOVE this month!  Not only because of the wonderful weather, the vibrant colors that the trees turn, the crisp smell when you walk outside first thing in the morning, those are all great but none of them even come close to this one.....The birth of my baby girl 2 years ago!  Yikes I can not believe that it has been two years already! 

She is growing so quickly!  She is still on the smaller side, but she is growing so much!  I feel like every day I look at her and she is changing in small ways each day.

I can not believe how much she is communicating with us lately!  It is so much fun to have conversations with her!  She can say 5 word sentences already!  Most of the sentences are 4 words, but once and a while we will get a complete thought through!  I love it!  Her favorite thing to do is sing!  She will sing songs, but mostly she makes up songs about her day, what she is thinking, feeling, anything really she just sings...sometime with words othertimes well we will say not words that I or most other people understand :)  But it is so cute!

She has been in a class at the local YMCA called toddler gym!  This class is so much fun for her and I to do together!  The first class she was very unsure and pretty much would not let me put her down. The second class she held my hand the entire time, with one exception where she let go to pick up some toys that other kids did not.  The third class was about 50/50, and I am proud to say the fourth class she barely needed me to be there at all! (although, I would not mind that :) This is great news because next session I will be signing her up for dance lessons.....This is big because the mommies and daddies are not allowed in!  YIKES!  I hope my little monkey is ok with that... We will just have to wait and see...

She has started to say, "I love you," on her own accord this month and man is that enough pay off for any and all of the bad stuff that mommyhood brings :) 

She also makes friends just about everywhere we go!  I love it, we will go to the park and instantly have a playdate set up for later that week because she will find a friend and they have so much fun together!  So even though she is very cautious of new things, watch out world if she is familuar with the setting everyone there is her friend that she has known for years....well, at least that is her thoughts :) I have also meet a lot of great new mommy friends through this process as well!

Tomorrow is her big 2nd birthday party so I should stop rambling and start getting ready for this thing!  The pizzas are ordered, the birthday girl outfit is set out (along with the jacket and hat to match....it was 70 degrees out today....what is the forcast for tomorrow you ask....oh nothing drastic just about 20 degrees less than today...go figure on the day that we plan an outdoor party), the decorations for the park are set up, cake is hopefully ordered (sis's department), now off to clean the house....
