Molly at 2

 Two years!! How can this be? Just yesterday you came busting into our lives, all pudgy 9 lbs 4 oz of you. I wish I could re-live that day all over again just to feel that feeling of meeting you. Every day you amaze me and make me laugh. Your personality keeps zooming through. I see shades of Lucy half the time, and the other half you're something new. 

Just in the last month your words have emerged -- you're probably up to nearly 75 words by now and can put together two word phrases (and a few three word phrases!). Your words include the usual plus doggie (but every dog is named Mo), nice, muk (milk), bee-bee (baby), sit down, faffles (waffles), shoes, heh (hair), sissy bus, poop, mote (remote), Mee Moo (Mickey/Minnie Mouse), bucks (buckles), guk (stuck). yash (yes), da-du mama (thank you, mama). 

She is 100% obsessed with buckles! She sometimes won't even eat dinner if the restaurant high chair has a buckle. So for her birthday we found his plush toy with 8 buckles surrounding it. She also still loves her pink car rides with Daddy. She's constantly wanting to go "ousside." Started playing with baby dolls, putting them in the high chair and putting a blanky on them for "bee-bee na-night." She's really starting to test boundaries, giggling when we say no, running from us thinking it's a game, tantrums. I know this all part of age two, but I think I have a lot less energy for it this many years later. 

Size-wise she's in 2T clothes. We find out out her height and weight next week, but she feels heavy to me and looks so tall anymore. She's entering a phase where she's not eating a lot -- she could live on yogurt, pouches, and snacks I think. 



 Sissy is her #1 person most times. Lucy can make her laugh in a way no one can't. I hope they love each other this much forever.
