We have a TWO year old!

 Brenna turned TWO on the 23rd! (I don't know why it's called the "terrible two's" it should be called the "terrible 1 1/2's") She's still as sweet as can be, but boy you don't want to get on her bad side or catch her while she's sleepy because BOY DOES THIS KID HAVE A TEMPER!! Yep, the tantrums are still in full force, especially in the nursery at church.

I think the paper they gave me at the Dr.'s office pretty much sums her up. "Is always in motion, tires easily, runs & climbs, may have trouble settling down at bedtime, gets upset and impatient easily, shows anger by crying or striking out, gets frustrated when not understood, wants own way, may assert self by saying "no",goes back to acting like a baby at times, is upset when daily routine changes, has sharp mood changes, likes to imitate others, enjoys playing among, not with, other children, does not share, may not eat well, claims everything is "mine", may scratch, hit, bite, and push other children, cannot be reasoned with much of the time, etc.etc. etc. It really made me laugh because they pretty much described our little Brenna bug.

BUT she's SO much more! She says Thank You ALL the time, she loves to snuggle and give hugs and kisses and "bonk heads" with you. Her "Lambie", blanket and pacifier still go everywhere she does (we're trying to work on the pacifier thing). She dances automatically when she hears any music, loves to jump and play with her stuffed animals. She loves to play in the dirt and thankfully she LOVES bubbles and taking baths:) She LOVES Elmo, Curious George, Arthur, Super Why, Word World and Dinosaur Train. She would live on strawberries, grapes, ice, Popsicles, popcorn and candy if we let her! She LOVES her baby Easton. We are SO blessed to be her parents - she's (usually) such a joy to be around. I LOVE how the tiniest things are so exciting to her and seemingly ordinary things can become magical in her big beautiful blue eyes. We sure love her and are so happy she's ours! Happy Birthday Brenna!

We celebrated that night with family and had Elmo cake of course.

This girl LOVES her jammies - so she celebrated by wearing them almost all day:)

 Easton wasn't to impressed with the party - he got pretty bored:)

 I wanted a cute "mother/daughter" picture - she didn't.

 This was after everyone left - I think she had a good day!

Thanks for the gifts everyone! She LOVES them.
