Our beautiful almost not a baby anymore girl. Age 2.

Things she says at the age of 2:

Tracy was changing her diaper the other day when she said, "NO! MY poopies!". She's saying "my" a lot these days in taking posesion of her little world.

"See mommy?" What she says to me each morning when I go into her room to get her out of bed. She wants to go see mommy and give her a hug.

"Go IHOP?". What she asks for almost daily. I think we may have to give in and take her tomorrow for her birthday. We've gone there a few times and she thinks it's the best place on Earth.

"one more time???" We hear this MANY times each day.

"I got peepee. Need new diaper." Yep.

"No, no, no. hush, hush." To the dogs.

"Get outta here?" Whenever we've stayed somewhere too long for her attention span.

"smells beautiful!" Usually from sniffing a candle.

Favorite words:
rella (cinderella), rella (gorilla), rella (umbrella), IHOP, zoo, castle, mermaid, princess ("mommy princess!" seeing pictures of Tracy in her wedding gown), fwow white, bicycle (which means ether bicycle or fudgesickle), delicious, dumbo, throw high?, and many more I can't think of right now.

Big & Breech - YIKES!

I had my 32 week visit with my Dr. last week, and found out that baby no-name is "Big & Breech". This really is freaking me out. Needless to say I have been all over the internet researching what that means exactly and what I can do about it, but the Dr. said he is not going to worry about it now, most babies turn on their own, and we will re evaluate at 36 weeks. In the mean time I am debating doing handstands in the corner :)

Also, evidently this baby is BIG, over 5 lbs already and I have a little under 2 months to go. I love this kind of news.

More pics

Much easier to get into than out. "guck, daddy...guck!!".

"Are you guck?"

"yes! guck!"

I confess that there are some words that we repeat back to her incorrectly because they're so cute as they are. guck for stuck is one. bicycle for fudgesickle is another.

Chocolate milk and bacon. And yes, she's still in her jammies. This is her perfect breakfast.

This is her sleepy for a nap pose. Everyday around noon it hits her - usually as she watches Cinderella (which is a daily ritual). Thank goodness for naps! I've heard some babies are growing out of naps around this age. Aubrey seems like she's just now growing into naps.

Car Wash

Last saturday Aubrey took a few minutes to wash her car. She took the job very seriously.

Imagination

I don't know why I was surprised to realize that Aubrey is capable of understanding what "imaginary" is...but I was.

Aubrey hates guitar picks. Why? Who knows. If I play with my fingers...no problem. If I strum with a pick she screams "pick" and runs and takes it from me and won't let me play the guitar with it. It's now a game, but in the beginning she really did seem mad at the pick.

So I got a cool little early birthday present for myself off Ebay. It's a Yamaha EZEG electronic learning guitar. I thought it would be fun to play with it and let Aubrey bang on it. It has buttons on the frets and fake plastic strings on the body. The other day I was strumming away, not using a pick, but holding my fingers like I was. Aubrey screams "pick" and runs up to grab it. I explained that there's no pick and that I was playing with an imaginary pick. So she takes the guitar from me, holds her fingers like she's holding a pick, and proceeds to strum away. She even went off to show Tracy her "imini pick", which consists of her thumb and index finger in a pinch position. Her pick is pink, by the way. Or so she says.
