2 years

 as much as i knew this day would come, it seemed to far away. now it's come and gone. and i have a 2 year old. so far 2 hasn't been as bad as i expected. mostly, sophie is still her sweet, funny, loving self. sometimes we have tantrums and screaming, but mostly good. we started potty training just a couple of weeks after her birthday and she has done awesome. it's been about a month and she's all potty trained. it only took her a few days. in the last month, she's only had 2 accidents. yay! i just hope things don't regress. keep your fingers crossed!

we sure love our sweet 2 year old sophie!

sophie, we sure love you! you are the center of our lives, and our lives would sure be different without you. we love having you in our family. you add so much fun and laughter. i love the silly conversations i have with you. you are so smart and know so many words, i feel like i'm talking to another adult. you are doing so many things other 2 year olds don't, and i'm always impressed at the things you know and can do. i love your personality, your love for playing and your imagination. you are always having fun. i'm so proud of how fast you learned how to use the potty. you are amazing! right now, some of your favorite things are coloring, stickers, anything princess, dora, playing with your kitchen, reading books, playing outside, swimming, jumping, dancing, and singing. you are always cracking us up with your songs and dance. you love to perform and have an audience to watch you. you are very loving and caring and you have so much empathy for others when they are sad or hurt. you love to go to nursery now, play with friends and cousins, and of course, grandmas and grandpas! you are such a sweetheart and i love spending my days with you!
