How did we let Anna turn 2? I can't believe it. So much has happened
since I found out I was pregnant with her. We are so grateful to have
her; we don't know what we'd do without her to entertain us!
She loves to play outside with Natalie. They are almost always on the plasma cars. And yes this was taken on her birthday-December 19!
She and Natalie are the queens of costume changes--here they are a few minutes later. Santa needs to bring more dress-up clothes!
We took her to Costco for a hot dog for her birthday dinner! We're so classy!
She loves their hot dogs and almost ate the whole thing. And then we took her down some empty aisles so she could RUN! It was the perfect 2 year-old birthday. :)
I made her some strawberry 'Santa hat' cupcakes
We relit the candles three times so she could blow them out again and again, she loved that part
She opened up a Cinderella baby doll, a Hello Kitty flashlight and some princess little people. Of course Natalie tried to sneak them away but Anna held her ground!
Anna:
*She bosses her sisters and the preschoolers around using 'mom' vocabulary. Many times during preschool she calls the kids names for them to come.
*Anna is somewhat of a picky eater. Her favorite things are cheerios/corn chex, crackers, marshmallows, grapes, cheese, smoothies, hot dogs and orange juice
*She talks all the time but we understand about 75%. I think she may have some speech impediments like Natalie that she'll grow out of.
*Anna loves Curious George!
*She likes to sing to her baby dolls, rock them and kiss them.
*She is 2 going on 12; she has to do everything her sisters are doing and MORE.
*She thinks she is a preschooler. When they are working on a paper, she has to too. And if I stack up the kids papers when they are done, hers has to be in the stack as well.
*Anna loves princesses; Cindalella, Bale (Belle), etc. She is Natalie's little shadow when it comes to all things girly; play makeup, dressing up, dancing, play kitchen, etc.
*She loves to make us laugh by dancing, tickling, making a goofy face, acting like a dog, or taking something from us and taking off on a dead run so we will chase her!
*Anna loves going to the nursery at church but almost always poops at least once and sometimes twice so she has to get taken out--her poor teachers, she is a very stinky baby!!
*Her favorite song right now is Jingle Bells
*Anna LOVES reading books with us!
We love our girl. She was our easiest baby but now is our hardest toddler which I hear is typical of the third child. However, she sleeps well, has many happy moments, cuddles with us and is easy to make smile!

Too cute she has grown up so much. I find Haleigh being my 3rd is so much more older and wiser too. It must be all that fun influence from their older siblings. :) Merry Christmas to your family.
Tell Cyrena happy birthday as well from us. I realized after I called the other day that it was on her birthday! How did the girls react to the news? :)
So much of her "likes" are the same as Vivi so it must be the age! Vivi was our easiest baby but very mischevous and into everything! Looks like they'll have fun together next week. ;)
I love the party, her cupcakes and the personality that shines through in her dress ups. These kids are SO blessed to have such loving, caring parents.
