2 Years 2 Months

We have now survived two months of a two year old! To be honest, the past month has been almost a blur with all our medical appointments, seeing specialists, and trying not to stress out too much. The best thing about a 2 year old is, they are oblivious to what is going around them. I think its better that way :)

Here is an example: My parents were watching her overnight so we could attend DH's overnight Christmas party, so they asked Macyn about her bump.

Macyn: "my big bump!"

Grandpa: "What did the doctor say?"

Macyn: "No more monkeys jumpin' on the bed!"

Some other one liners (that I can remember)

Macyn pointing at my Ugly Christmas Sweater before work.

Macyn: "awww pretty, Mommy! I like it!"

She also likes to call me, "Mommy Marie!" and Josh, "Daddy Dean!" She is really into asking her something silly, and she responds with a, "nooo" in a silly voice.

She has also picked up the guitar hero guitar, "tunes" it, and sings and dances while playing. Once she is done she goes, "Again? Again mommy?! okay!!" and continues on.

She can also fully dress herself, but sometimes has trouble remembering her pants have two legs. She's still a little OCD about washing and cleaning everything, but we try and tell her its okay to be a little bit dirty. She likes to take care of her babies and will play for hours being "mommy."

She has a good memory as well. Last night, Josh went to Walmart when I was putting her to bed. She woke up this morning and goes, "Daddy at walmart?" She also had a meltdown when we put the first present under the Christmas tree and told her she couldn't open it. We solved this problem by letting her help wrap the presents.

The only downfall is, she remembers what everyone got! Not even kidding. Even two weeks later, if you ask her, she will tell you. Since she helped wrap all of them, don't be surprised if you end up with 3 bows, 2 name tags, and one big piece of tape across the front....and if you want your Christmas presents to be a surprise, don't ask her what you got!
