Lydia Turns 2

 

Lydia celebrated her second birthday with a hedgehog cake and lots of attention from the family. We sang to her all day and said "Happy Birthday" so much. I think she felt loved.

Here's some favorites for our two year old!

Favorite book: So many books! This girl could read books all day long if I was willing to sit and read. She loves Elephant and Piggie books, Latter-day Baby books (especially our Temple one), Pete the Cat books. Any book works for her!

Favorite toy: Aside from books, probably the magna-tiles. She loves to bring a bunch anywhere she goes.

Favorite word: Lydia seems to follow Tanner's progress/development for language. She is slowly getting there. Her most common word is MaMa! She says the names of everyone in the family. It's pretty cute to hear her yell, "Tanner" "Ashton!" She started putting two words together last week. Her common phrase, "Mama... Look!"

Favorite show: She doesn't really sit to watch anything.

Favorite Outing: Parks. The library. Playgroup is a favorite because she can play with a friend from her nursery class.

Favorite food: Lydia eats anything and everything. Her favorites include cottage cheese, yogurt, blueberries, and peanut butter. She knows if Tanner left it out where she can reach it. She finds it, unscrews the lid, grabs a knife, and enjoys some peanut butter.

Favorite activity: Being with me. Lydia is still pretty clingy. The pediatrician said that starts to fade around two, but then quickly stopped as Lydia screamed at him. "Maybe it will be closer to 2.5 for her before it fades."

Height: 36 inches

Weight: 34 pounds! She is huge! In 3T clothing and everything.
