2 Years

As mentioned, there was no stopping it.

Addie turned 2!

My great friend, Nicole, took some gorgeous pictures of our spunky 2 year old.

At 2 Addie:

Is such a tender Momma to little babies.

Let's hope this remains true come May.

LOVES jumping off of things.

She's definitely more brave than she used to be.

Loves to be by Mom and Dad's side.

Nursery and the gym have been rough the past few weeks.

Loves to be listened to.

Talks CONSTANTLY.

I've started getting headaches every night and I think it's because she truly talks my ear off all day long.

Uses long (5-6 word) sentences.

This has come with some stuttering.

Her brain is working so hard to spit everything out in the right order.

It's cute.

Is such a girly-girl.

Loves high heels, makeup and twirling in skirts.

Loves Mom's wedding ring more than anything.

The compromise we made is that she gets to bring it to me everyday when I'm ready to put it on.

She takes her job very seriously.

Adores Disney Princesses.

Her favorite used to be Sleeping Beauty, but Belle is really making a run for the top lately.

Can count to 10 lightning quick.

Once she has help with 11, she can get to 15.

Has started making up songs.

Last night our dinner entertainment was some song about her and Sleeping Beauty.

They usually start out with, "I love..."

She uses the potty flawlessly now.

What a big girl.

Loves her friends.

Is devastated is she has to go a whole day without playing with at least one of them.

She is very sensitive.

She can pick up on my moods so quickly and wants to talk about how I'm feeling.

Loves to be a "Big Helper."

Whenever I'm doing something, she'll put her hand where mine is (like on the broom handle) and say, "Addie big helper with cleaning!"

Loves the temple.

Loves talking about it, seeing it, or singing songs about it.

Is getting impatient for "her turn to get married in the temple."

She understands the concept of waiting for her turn really well. 

Not for 20 years, sweetie.

My goodness are we proud of this little girl!

She keeps us on our toes.

But we love her more than anything!

Thanks again Nicole for the pics.  

I'm so glad we can remember this sweet face years down the road.
