Wow! Can you believe that our little Daley girl has turned 2!! Time flies way too fast! Since her last birthday, she has become obsessed with The Fresh Beat Band on Nick Jr. So we decided to have a FBB party for her....(update, just in the past couple of weeks...she has decided that Peppa Pig is her favorite now!) I didn't take a whole lot of pictures because I was busy talking....haha we had the pleasure of having theTompkinsons over for her party. Thanks to Denver and the boys we got some pictures snapped here and there. We had cupcakes and hot dogs for her birthday meal because those are still her favorite and she doesnt get them all too often.
Daley is 29.5 lbs. and tall for her age...I can't remember how tall right now (she's asleep right now) but she is in the 75% for her height. Denver and I have been buying 2T for her the past 3 months and her shirts are already getting short on her! I can't believe how fast she is growing....I though she would be in 2T until at least the fall in time to get her warmer clothes!
She is talking a lot still....she still has her own little language that she uses to talk on her phone but she is learning new words everyday. She jumps really well and can drive her little trike around the house. She is quite the swimmer which you will see here in another post coming soon! She is such a good helper around the house. It is so fun having her push the wet clothes from the washer into the dryer, clean up her toys, sweep the floors, make the beds, sort the quarters and tokens from the restaurant, help with the dishes, and folding the laundry. We are attempting to potty train her. We haven't had any successes though but we will be doing a potty training boot camp here in the next week so we will see how it goes.
Daley is quite the monkey too! Have you ever seen a 2 year old do a pull up? haha Maybe I have but I don't see it all too often. Daley loves to pull herself up under the table and swing just dangling from the table. We go to the park quite a bit and just in the last few times we went she can do almost everything there is to do on the jungle jims. She climbs up to the tallest place to go and slides down the steepest slides! She also hangs off of tall places (some of which are about 6 feet high) on the jungle jim and swings out like she does the kitchen table....singing "WEEE WEEEE WEEEE!!" All of this with ZERO help from Denver or I. I don't have any pictures of her on the really tall slides but they will be coming soon.
Most of everything she does and learns is from watching other kiddos, She learns so much when we visit the cousins or the cousins come to visit us. She loves to watch and play with other kids whether she knows them or not. The other night was our ward's Pioneer Day Celebration and we just sat and watched her talk and play with a bunch of different kids while playing on the jungle jim. She wanted nothing to do with Denver and I.
Daley has her weeks when she wants to be naughty but she can sure be a sweetheart when she wants to be. Denver and I love to sit and watch her shows with her as she snuggles with us with her blanky. We love watching her take care of her babies. We love hearing her secrets that she has to tell us. And we love watching her play in the yard counting her rocks. Oh yeah she counts to 3 pretty well and she is working on counting to 10 right now....we will be counting and she counts to 3 and then she sits and waits until it's time to say 10 and she yells it most of the time. haha. We are so proud of our little mommy!
