I can't hardly believe that my baby girl is already two, and growing faster by the minute! She became a big sister on March 25th, 2011 and then had her birthday on April 6th. My mom was staying with us to help with Owen, and my Dad had just come into town to drive mom back to Oregon, so we had a quiet low key little party. Carter loves "keak", and loves to blow out candles.
She was slow getting started with unwrapping presents, but once she got the hang of it she did pretty good. She got pink Lego's (her fave gift to date), Mrs. Potato Head, books, coloring crayons and books, a princess tutu, purse and jewels, a new movie, play shoes and pink frog jammies.
Our Carter is silly through and through. One of her favorite jokes is to pretend to be asleep...at random she'll close her eyes and softly snore, then peek to see if we're watching, this game can go on for hours! She thinks she's so tricky!!!
She also loves to color, even on my antique sewing machine-it's a good thing this was with chalk and wiped clean very easily!
She loves to go "sfimming", in her jumbled two year old speech she tells us about "sfimming" and "kick, kick kicking" Of course she can't really swim yet but we practice getting our face in the water, and stretching our body out and kicking our legs, she thinks it's great fun, and loves ANYTHING water....pools, bathtubs, puddles it's all the same...right???!!!
She likes to move it move it!!! Dancing is another one of Carter's favorite things, anytime there's a good dancing tune on she jumps up and starts to move it...she often will invite us to dance with her, and thinks it's great fun when we all join in!
Another one of Carter's favorites are "fwowers"....While riding in the car she can spot the most minute flower in the distance, and will exclaim "Mommy, a fwower!!!" Sometimes it takes me a minute to see what she does, this little girl has great nature eyes! I fear for my future flower beds....As soon as they bloom, the flowers will all be gone, she loves to pick them and smell them,and gift them to anyone around....what a girl!
I love my daughter, but I HATE snakes, unfortunately for me she LOVES them...so i'm doing some exposure therapy on myself to try to lessen my fear, so that I can help foster her love for slithery slimy things! This is her big stuffed snake she got as a prize on our long journey to Iowa, she also has a small rubber green snake that likes to shopping with us, as well as out to eat at restaurants.
This picture pretty well sums up my daughter's personality. She's a silly, goofy, funny, lovable, independent trickster, who knows what she wants when she wants it, but has a heart of gold, and also loves to share. She has such a sweet spirit, we're truly blessed to call her our own and to have her for eternity. What a blessing she is to us, we love you Carter Grace, you bring so much happiness and joy to our lives!!!
