Audrey's Birthday

I can't believe she's two!  With it has come many more words and many more conversations. I love when she says (pease) please. It makes me proud when she's polite. 

I never realize how much I say something until she starts saying it. A few weeks ago she started saying, "There you go, that's better".  It makes me laugh every time.   

She loves to read and she loves to learn.  Her favorite thing to do is sit at the fridge and match magnetic letters to an alphabet printable I got from Google images.     

The day she started opening doors was a bad day and a good day.  Good because she's more independent and bad because that means she can open the pantry and the door to the garage. Now I have to lock the door behind me when I go to pull the van into the garage.  

Since her birthday she has added Cinderella 2 and 3 to her list of favorite movies.  I'm happy because the original was getting a little old.  I might be able to quote it from beginning to end now.

She has become really picky with food.  I sometimes miss the 9 month old that would eat anything I put in front of her.  Now she has her favorites: potatoes, cheese, bread, and fruit shakes. 

She cried because we wouldn't let her eat it right away.    

  We had more of a birthday weekend this year.  On Friday evening we went swimming with James, Jenny and kids.  It was so much fun, and it's really good when we get to spend some time with family.  It was there that I learned how much Audrey loves water.  She kept saying, "Bun, Bun, Bun (fun)!". 

On Saturday we watched Cinderella 2, made cake and ate cake, took pictures, and opened gifts.  On Sunday we went to church and afterward we went to Mike and Merian's house where Audrey got spoiled with a second birthday and mashed potatoes. There's no food she loves more than mashed potatoes.
