I'm Two!!


Things you like:
Gus, Gus, and more Gus
The Fresh Beat Band (Nick Jr show which gets you dancing and jumping around every time)
Taking care of all of your baby dolls/animals.  I often hear you say "you're okay, I'm going to change your biper (diaper)"
Yogurt, apples (this is new), raisins, orange juice, grapes, doughnuts, chicken, toast, drinking the milk out of your cereal bowl, and chocolate milk
Necklaces (both yours and mama's)
Books: Go Dog Go, Goodnight Minnesota, A Snowy Day, If You Give a Pig a Party
Talking about your friends: the most mentioned are Henry (Hengy), babies Veda and Callie, Emma, Maria, Quincy, Lila, Wyatt, Ethan, and Evey. 
Jumping anywhere, especially your trampoline
Taking a nap
Your puppy cup
Shows: Little Einsteins, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Mickey Mouse, Oso, The Wonder Pets
Singing Jingle Bells or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Sleeping with Puppy, Gus, and Wolfie
Pulling everything out of drawers
Cleaning up when you sing the Clean-Up song
Putting on hats
Your pacifier
Mini-marshmallows
Pulling the wipes out of their package and organizing them into piles
Favorite phrases include: C'mon momma (pulling your hand to the next activity), we're home (when we pull in the driveway), This is Finley's (jacket, shoe, shirt, book, etc), one more time (which she actually thinks means like 50 more times)
Being chased - "I'm gonna get you!"

Finley is still in her crib with no attempted escapes yet (fingers crossed), takes a bath in the tub but hates getting her hair washed, still lets me dress her (wonder how long this will last), uses utensils at meals unless she's extremely hungry - then she'll just shovel it in with her hand, leaves me at daycare as soon as we walk in, runs in for a hug when I pick her up, knows when we're on our way home about 3 mins from our house, wears diapers 100% of the time but can tell if they're dirty/wet and wants it changed, can remember most family members names when she sees pictures, has very little idea she's going to be a big sister in 4 months!

She has such a sweet personaliy, is very easy going, talks to random people at the store all the time, and is generous with hugs and kisses!

We LOVE her so darn much and can't wait to see who she becomes in this next year!
