TWO!

Happy Birthday my sweet Emily!

You turned two on November 1st. You are such a fun person! You have a terrific personality and find the funny in just about everything you do. Not everything is peaches and cream, though. You still get frustrated and throw multiple, on-the-floor, tantrums a day. Usually when you are frustrated or not understood.

• You follow directions very well--you will get your shoes, your mama (blanket), your cup. 
• You will sit and read on the couch. 
• You LOVE Curious George. When things get really bad at church, I whip out my iPhone and let you watch George on mute and you usually calm right down. 
• You sleep through the night, but we have cut down on your napping during the day. 
• You can't nap for more than 2 hours, else you will be up for hours terrorizing Lucy while she sleeps. You still love doing everything Lucy does. 
• You love Andrew and will always laugh when he's around and will usually calm down when he pays attention to you. 
• You are saying a handful of words that we understand--mama, papa, got it, bravo, that one, mas. 
• You make a lot of sounds--usually excited ones. 
• You still see Christina, your speech therapist and you are making great progress. 
• You love to snuggle and you give terrific kisses! 
• You are very active and whenever we are in public, that is usually the first comment people make about you. 
• You love food and will definitely let us know when you do not like something or when you are finished eating. 
• At your 2-year check-up you were at the 100th percentile for height (3 feet) and the 99th percentile for weight (34.74 lbs)! 
• You are wearing a size 3T in both shirts and pants, but sometimes wear Lucy's 5T shirts.

We love you so much, Emily! You are such a fun girl and you bring such joy wherever you are!

Happy Birthday!

Love,
Mom
