Piper Jane is 2!

Pippi Jane...How on earth do I describe this little love bug of mine? Well, for starters, she's now officially 2! Her birthday is today. It's been a great day. Mostly for us as a family, because she has no clue it is her birthday! She woke up to a decorated room/house. She opened presents. We all went to Chuck E. Cheese's for lunch. (she walked away with a slinky. She was thrilled!) Then we spent the evening at my cousin's daughter's birthday swimming party. It was perfect. The kids love to swim! We're having her little family party tomorrow night, so maybe it'll seem more like her birthday then!

This little girl is the light of our lives. She is beautiful, sassy, hilarious, and smart. She's the world's greatest eater, too! Her favorite foods are: green beans, peas, shrimp, noodles, chicken, corn on the cob, smoothies, apples, and grapes. She still sleeps around 12 hours at night and naps around 3+ hours every afternoon. She's trying to potty train herself. I'm not quite ready! She loves her shopping cart, purses, her ladybug pillow pet, and sunglasses. She won't watch tv at all. She loves shoes and would spend all day trying on and walking around in new shoes! She's a total snuggle bug; she loves to be held! She's a little runt! My other kids were HUGE, so having this skinny thing is something different. I'm interested in what her stats will be at her 2 year check up.

It's bittersweet having my baby turn 2. Never again will I have a "baby." It's hard, but I'm so excited for the toddler phase! Happy Birthday Pippi!!!
