Molly: TWO

So I realize how incredibly late I am with this post. Molly is now 26 months (I know, I know...stop with the months thing now). Time has gotten away from me a little bit with the holidays that started up immediately following her birhday. I sincerely intended to get this post up the week afer her birthday but life happened. And its been fun and super busy around here! But I will not miss the big TWO post. Seriously, I have a two year old. Mind blowing.

This past year our little baby has truly grown into a little girl. Almost all remnants of her babyhood are gone. No more chubby cheeks, no more waddling, no more gummy smiles...its all running, talking, wide-eyed take on the world kid around here now. And its so much fun.

Molly is always up for an adventure and is a ball of energy. She is easy going as it relates to her schedule and we are often going, going, going. She seems to love it.

She has a very full personality and is quite the little goofball. She knows when she makes you laugh and then takes it up a notch! She likes to "perform" for people and has no problem being the center of attention. She loves to play games and do anything daring. She will sweet talk you with her words and cute little smile...and she knows it. Such a handful, but so worth it.

I love spending time with her, we have so much together. At one time I couldn't really imagine how this little baby would turn into my best friend but she did. I really enjoy having her by my side and she makes me smile a million times a day.

Smart. So smart. I look at Chase at least 5 times a day in amazement at something she has said or done. Her memory blows me away. She is so good at remembering people's names and something about them. A trait I wish I had! She thinks logically and strategically, which I didn't even know was possible. Its so cool to see her little brain at work.

Molly, my beautiful little girl. You are growing so fast and Dad and I are SO proud of you. You make each of our days better. Watching you grow up and turn into such a little person has been a joy. You have so much love and kindness towards other people, its infectious. These past two years have been incredible...I can't wait to see where all of our tomorrows takes us! We love you always and forever! XO

Words/Talking:
Such a talker. She is always saying something. Either telling us about something, asking us a question, talking to her baby dolls. We can have a complete conversation with no issues. Sometimes it feels like I am just talking with a friend. She fully pronounces her words so she is very easy to understand which is nice!

Sleeping:
Within the last couple months she has started waking up several times a night crying. Either a bad dream or just restless, we aren't sure. Usually it just takes a couple pats on the back and she is sleeping again but some nights she wakes up 4 or times!  A bit exhausting for us. We made the mistake of bringing her into our bed when she is up early in the morning and I think its proving to come back and bite us!
