Little Missy Is Two

Sweet lil Reesey turned two in March and she just had her 2 year check up :)  

Reese did great!  She sat so nicely for Dr. Mahony and got one ouchie in her leg.  She cried for about 5 seconds and then was excited to get tatoos and stickers!  

Reese is:

34 1/2 inches (60th Percentile)

25 lbs (20th percentile) Our little peanut

Head 19 inches (75th percentile)

She is healthy little girl and is right on track with her vocab as a two year old.  She should be saying 2 words together which is what she has been doing :)  (We are just used to Mr. Carter who was a talkative little man)

Reese climbs up and down the stairs like a big girl, most of the time not holding on to anything

She is incredibly independent and usually would prefer to do things on her own.  ie: getting into the car and her car seat, walk in parking lots, brushing her teeth, put on her socks (and of course the specific ones she picked out), climb and play on things outside without assistance and then end it with "I DID IT!"

Little Reese loves being outside.  I joke by saying the poor girl hasn't really experienced MN outside since she was born.  The spring and summer of 2012 was fabulous but she was a newborn.  The next spring sucked and we were in the townhouse for the summer while we rented and didn't use the tiny yard much.  And then from November until now we have been stuck inside.  So when this girl gets outside she DOES NOT want to come back in and will throw a tantrum.  "Outside!" is a frequent word out of her mouth.

Her and her brother are always racing to things and she will yell out "I win!" (maybe she will be a runner like her Mommy)

Reese loves baby dolls, my ponies, books, Singing "Let it Go," and of course her Minnie Mouses.  You can also tell that she has a big bro because she loves playing with Carter's train set, cars and playmobil (she may like it even more because she knows it bugs Carter)  

Reese has the BEST facial expressions and always makes us giggle with her eye rolling, mad face and her pouty lips.

She loves her baby cousin Brynlee and is always giving her her Nookies.

Reese is tough, she can run into something or get in a scuffle and come out just fine.  She tends to brush it off pretty easily.  

I think her independent attitude may give us a run for our money when it comes to disciplining her.  She will pinch Carter (witnessed by us) and then say "I no pinch Carter."  And little Missy doesn't seem to mind being put in time-out.  We may have to come up with an alternative.

Reese is still sleeping in her crib like a champ.  She sleeps well most of the time and if she does wake up she yells out "MOMMA!!" Funny thing is Momma doesn't ever hear her and Daddy usually comes to the rescue.  

She LOVES accessories:  headbands, her pig tails (always asking for "PIGGIES!"), bracelets, necklaces, sunglasses and fancy shoes.

Reese is a Beautiful, Feisty, Energetic, Loving and Independent girl.  We love her so much and cannot wait to watch her grow.  Please pray for me when she hits 12 (her and I may butt heads a bit)

I included the 2 year Chair Pic and her 2 year pics done by Kara, which turned out so cute!
