Happy Birthday!

Happy 2nd birthday sweet little Penelope! 

You've been telling us you're two for the past six months, and now you're finally right. These past two years have flown by, and you have sure done a good job of keeping us on our toes!

You talk a mile a minute these days, and you have all sorts of funny expressions that you like to exclaim, your most recent favorite being "Oh my goodness!" You love to sing songs, and "The Wheels on the Bus," "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep," "Rock-a-bye Baby" and the "ABC's" are your current favorites. You finally stopped calling everything "blue" and can name most colors (or, "cuttors" as you like to call them"). You love to play in the sand box, slide down the big slide, throw balls, and collect rocks in your spare time. You enjoy rough-housing with your dad, but you are scared to death of the "wormies" outside, which are really just seeds from the trees. You are an adventurous eater and love most fruits and vegetables and (much to your mother's chagrin) have even started to eat meat. Bedtime is your favorite time of the day, mostly because it is the only time you get to have your beloved paci's. (You don't know it yet, but you're going to have to break that habit soon!) You've been growing like a weed, and we've been struggling to keep you in clothes lately. You like to throw tantrums when you don't get your way, but you preface most every request with "please", and you give the best kisses and the biggest hugs. 

Happy birthday! We love you Lil' P!

It has been two amazing years with you in our lives.
