Two old

"Happy Birthday to Molly" is what my little lady has been singing to her self for the last few weeks. She has had quite a lot of anticipation for her big day. Over the last few weeks whenever anyone would ask how old she is going to be she would say "TWO MONTHS." We finally convinced her a few days ago to say "TWO YEARS OLD." But that became too long so now it's just "TWO OLD." It is funny to us that she is just now turning 2. It seems like she should at least be 2 1/2 or 3 by now by the way she acts. But that is how she has been her whole life..... in such a rush to grow up.

Daddy has to work all weekend so we started the festivities early. Last night after dinner we had a family party and opened up all her presents and had cake. Her favorite thing by far was the backpack she got. She put it on last night and hasn't taken it off since. She was a pro at opening her presents, but had to get every tiny scrap of paper off each thing before even looking at it to see what the present was.

All she wanted for her birthday was a pink cake. So to make it fun she got a pink butterfly cake, which she loved.... especially all the M&M's.

Today we had some friends come over for a lunch party. It was fun to have two days of partying.

Molly at Two

*She loves anything and everything pink and princess and of course all things baby.

*She is becoming quite the story teller and loves to make up silly stories about kitties, and bears, and every story has to have a "big scary wolf" in it.

*She is very independent and has her mind set on being able to do everything her big brother can do. I feel like I've hardly had to teach her anything cause she just figures things out on her own. This has been pretty great, especially when she potty trained herself a few months ago.

*She is so smart and we are constantly amazed by the things she says, does, and knows.

*She loves books and tries to "read" just like Ethan. She is happy to sit and look at books for hours and her favorite ones always have Monsters, or Wolfs in them.

*She loves music. Loves to sing and dance. Her favorite songs to sing are "Families can be together forever." and "I love to see the temple."

*She is just a ball of energy, very spunky, and with lots of personality. We have always thought of her as our little sunshine because that is the best way to describe her personality.

I love you Molly... Happy Birthday!
