Bailey Jaymes,
Oh sweet, spunky girl...how are you TWO!? You have brought joy to our lives that we never could have imagined. I remember being so afraid my heart could not love two babies equally, but you quickly proved me wrong. Your spirit is full of curiosity, wonder, and laughter. You have a stubborn streak and know how to push buttons ;)
We went to the doctor last week for your 2 year checkup. You are as healthy as can be, which we do not take for granted!
You are 3 feet tall, which is the 95th%! You weigh 29 lbs, which is the 81st%.
You are currently wearing a wide variety of clothes, mainly 2t-3t. You are pretty tall, so some 2t outfits are just too short on you! You are wearing size 7-8 shoes, and your feet have gotten a little less wide lately. You are in size 5 diapers, although you think they are "yuck" and have started using the potty some!
You LOVE food. You will eat anything, especially if you have "dip". You will dip any food into any liquid haha. You do not like eggs, though. You also are not a fan of plain water. I almost always have to put just a splash of juice in the cup so you will drink it. You also drink almond milk 3x/day. You LOVE your cup, and really only want to drink out of that one type. You still call it a "ba-ba".
You have just started taking off with talking. You have known many words for quite a while, but haven't needed to use them because Ashlynn talks for you!
Some things you say:
Animal names
Count to 4 in English and 3 in Spanish
Names of friends/family
Names of favorite shows (Doh-ra, Buppies, Pah-Po, Baze, Tiger, Ninnie)
Names of many household items
You have really started talking in sentences lately as well. It is such fun to start to be able to carry on little conversations with you!
Here are a few of your favorite things:
Color- Orange or blue (mainly because blue is Ashlynn's favorite!)
Song- Daniel Tiger's Potty song
Activity- Dress up, dolls and coloring
Lovie- Honey (your monkey), Tigey (Daddy's Fluffy Panda), and Pit-po (the Hippo)
Place to go- The park (Swings to be specific)
Snack- Fruit snacks, bananas, teddy grahams
People- Mommy/Daddy/Bailey, Gaga, Miss "Ha-ey"
Show- Minnie/Mickey and Dora
Your nicknames are:
Bay-Bay
Monkey
Bailey-boo
Sissy
You are still shy around new people, especially men, but you have really started to come out of your shell. You go to class 2x/Wednesday and on Sundays at church, and finally walk willingly and happily into class! If you do not like something, you will yell "yuck!" One thing you do not like is shoes! Anytime we get into the car, you immediately take them off.
You are our cuddle bug. You love lovies, and being held! You also LOVE your sister. You follow her around and do exactly what she does. But you are also not one to be messed with. If she tries to boss you around or take something, you are quick to stand your ground. You also push her buttons quite well :)
At times I feel guilty about not blogging/writing any of your monthly updates between 17 months-24 months. I feel like I missed out on so many words/habits you had. But at the same time I am thrilled that I got to take that time to cuddle with you and play with you!
Oh Bailey girl...I do not even have enough words to write for how much we love and adore you. Our family would not be complete without you and we praise the Lord for knowing that. May you always follow HIM and not the world, and may your strength and confidence be something found in Him.
We love you so much sweet girl,
Mommy and Daddy
