2 Years Old

Dear Lily,

you are two years old which makes you almost a "BIG GIRL" but right now you prefer to be referred to as Baby. Even though you don't act like one very much anymore. If we tell you you are a big girl now you say "No, Emmi is Big Girl, I'm Baby." You do think you can do whatever your big sister can do and you love to copy her every move. She has thought you how to jump and dance and how to use scissors. You love to do puzzles and you love to read books. You are very independent and don't want to be helped at all. As far as you are concerned you can do it all by yourself. And if I pick you up and lift you in your car seat you have to get back out and climb in yourself, just to make a point. Despite being so independent you do enjoy to snuggle and so do we. You love to climb in bed with us in the morning and snuggle, until you get hungry that is. You still love to eat even though you have slowed down a bit on the amount. You favorite food are any kind of fruit and every time you go out in the backyard you check the Strawberry and Blackberry Bushes in hopes to find some berries. But you still love to eat anything else too. If you are hungry you don't say no to anything. The only small concern that came up at your 2 year old Check up was you walking pigeon toed which may of may not stay like that. But according to Dr. Suffredini this will give you an athletic advantage in regards of running fast. But I had figured as much already. It sure is hard to catch you! You are a little above average for height and a little below average for weight. To us you are just perfect! You love the water and you think you can swim. You love your pacifier and your baby doll. And you love to play with stuffed animals. Unfortunately you love to aggravate your sister but I don't blame you since she sure loves to boss you around. But most of the time the two of you play quite well together and I look at the two of you all the time and think how much I hope that you'll be such good friends forever.

We love you Lily!
