Well our sweet baby girl turns 2 today!! Why is it that time has to go so fast? I remember high school and college going so very slowly. We're having an Elmo birthday party on Saturday with a homemade Elmo cake, a bounce house, and hot dogs from the grill. Today unfortunately we have to work and Miley's off to school. I'm taking Elmo cupcakes today for her class to ease my guilt about having to work. Miley saw them last night and her eyes got really big and she said "My happy birthday cake!!" So she is well aware that it's her birthday but she'll probably think it lasts all week ;).
Sorry I haven't blogged in forever. I've been really swamped at work and stressed about all the things that have been going on. We went to Disney for a week at the beginning of the month and all of last month I had to work in the field. It was also starting to feel like blogging was a chore so I hope the break will make blogging fun again.
Anyway so what is new with Miley?
Potty training is now in full swing now that our Disney vacation is over. She used the potty 3 times yesterday which is a new record. Every time she sits on a potty, she always yells "I did it!" Even if she didn't do anything, she still makes an announcement. She can count to 10 super fast now and has done so for a few weeks. She is just learning that counting things doesn't always mean there are 10 of it. She's been singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for a few weeks also but just this last weekend she sang the whole thing with no help. As a matter of fact, she prefers to be a solo act. If I help her sing, it's always "No momma, my turn." Andrew tried to help her sing at the Orlando airport and he got shhhh'ed and was told "Quiet." Diva before her second birthday. She has also become a parrot. She'll repeat anything and I mean anything and she says it very clearly. I can understand about 95% of the things she says. She is very good at talking and comes up with the funniest things to say all the time.
How was Disney?
Disney was very humid and hot so therefore the temperatures felt like 105 to 110 while we were there. We had a lot of fun times and a couple uncontrollable fits. Miley really loved the characters. The first one we met was Stitch, one of her favorites. She was a little shy and held on to me with a death gripe but she didn't cry. Next was Daisy Duck and she got a little braver. By the third character, she'd start saying "I want hug." By the fourth character she'd walk up on her own and hug them really tight. My new favorite photo of Miley is her squeezing Winnie the Pooh and looking up like she's in love :)
Well I need to get ready for work and then Stephen and I need to sing our baby Happy Birthday. I hope I can do it without tearing up this year. Oh not likely I already am. I hope this next year slows down just a little :)
