What?? That can’t be right?!?! CL is TWO??
Yes… sweet CL is two!! Each year, for the girls’ birthday months, we attempt to capture and document a little about their current lives.
This is where the blog becomes personal…since that’s why we began this journey in the first place!
So, this post is all about CL. And her 730 days of joy on this earth!
What would we like CL to know about herself at this stage in her life??
You are watchful and cognizant of others around you – what is being spoken, what is being done, etc. {and you strive to copy those actions and speech}.
You play well with others {and put up with A. LOT.}, but are just as content to play by yourself.
Academically, you know your numbers {through the teens, but not always in succession}, colors, and have begun to sing “the alphabet song.”
We guess you are preparing for school, because there was a time this year you were obsessed with your backpack!! You wanted to wear it everywhere, and put anything you could find in it…
Now, you prefer to wear a life jacket – with or without water nearby!
You love to eat, and can “out eat” some of your family on given days {or given meals}.
Oh, and you’ve got a sweet tooth to boot!
You talk A LOT. Some isn’t understandable, but you have definitely tested your verbal usage. It seems you talk more and more each day.
If your momma weren’t extremely pregnant right now, you might be potty trained! There’s an interest there…
You love to play with your baby dolls – strolling, feeding, and nurturing them.
You find great pleasure in viewing videos and pictures on phones and/or other devices….and promptly say, “I see, I see” when a phone or video is in view. *You even know where Granddaddy keeps his phone, and always make time for some one-on-one time with him {and it} during visits.
You like to climb, and have a special chair that you drag anywhere and everywhere to get to items out of reach.
You like to dance….and dress up….and get as “girly” as feasibly possible.
You like all things that move – especially trains and boats – and had a “boat birthday party” to celebrate turning 2.
Your new favorite book character is Biscuit, and you will listen to {and look at} Biscuit books for quite some time.
You are an agreeable child, and are rarely fussy / sad.
You nap WELL!!! And, you don’t mind telling us when you are sleepy. The strangest time you announced this?? During the middle of a rousing game of “Hungry Hungry Hippo”…
You know how to make one feel loved – from ear piercing squeals….to hugs and kisses.
Speaking of hugs: You give THE BEST hugs!! Think: squeezing bear hugs….that go on and on and on….
WE LOVE YOU, SWEET CL…here’s to wishing for many more fun memories in the next 365 days to share next year during your “Birthday Month”…
So sweet! Happy Birthday, lovely girl!!
awww, so sweet. My baby boy turned 2 last saturday, and there’s a lot in this post that i can relate to. here’s to many more happy years with and for CL.
Happy birthday to your son!! Same to you and yours…
Happiest of Birthdays, CL!
Happy birthday, beautiful CL!
I love the smocked sundress she is wearing, and that photo of EA throwing snow on her is priceless!
I loved this post and all of your posts like this. Thanks for sharing something so personal. It’s fun how every kid has such a unique personality. CL has always seemed so sweet.
With love,
Al
Yep….sweet sums her up {for the most part}! We’ve thought of a few additional CL-isms over the past year, so we may have to update this post soon {so we don’t forget them as the years go by}!
