We Are Two!

Happy Birthday Harper and Tannah!  I cannot believe how fast the past two years have flown by.  I am so lucky to be able to call these two little girls mine.  They are sweet, funny, curious, feisty little girls, and I love them so much.

The girls got balance bikes for their birthday.  These little bikes don't have pedals, and they are supposed to help kids learn balance without needing training wheels.  Tannah walked hers around our driveway, but Harper wanted nothing to do with it.  She went over to her tricycle and stood there until we got it down for her.

We moved inside for more present/card opening.  I really tried to get them to stand together and smile for a picture, but that was nearly impossible.

After dinner, it was time for cake.  Despite only having it a few times in their short lives, the girls apparently love cake.

They did not love when we took the wrapper off of their cupcakes.

Tannah was happily digging in until Harper's melt down.

Eventually, they both decided they would rather eat cake than cry.

At two years old:

• The girls love their blankies, puppies, rarws (panda blankets), play kitchen, tricycles, balls, and books.
• They wear size 2T shirts and 18-24 month or 2T pants.  They wear size 5 diapers and size 6 shoes.
• They love to eat fruit, and are pretty good at trying new food.  Clementines and applesauce are particular favorites.
• They love to sing, especially EIEIO (which they randomly start singing whenever the mood moves them).
• They love to go down slides and show no fear climbing up ladders.
• They sleep from about 7 pm to about 7 am (sometimes as late as 8:30 on the weekends!).
• They love to give hugs and kisses, and are very good at delaying bed time by asking for more hugs and kisses. They also love to give kisses all over our faces (foreheads, cheeks, ears, eyes), and giggle the whole time.
• They love each other (despite the ever-present fighting) so much.  This morning, Tannah had a hard time waking up, and Harper came over to pat her on the back and give her kisses.  Harper also kept asking to give Tannah a kiss before she went to bed.  I melt.
• Tannah is more talkative than Harper, but I'm amazed at how much their vocabulary is increasing every day.  They are also starting to use two word sentences.  One of their favorite new phrases is "Eww, gross":)  They are little parrots, so everyone around them needs to watch what they say.

They are so much fun, and I love watching them grow and learn.  It has been another amazing year with my sweeties!
