About Kaylynn at Age Two

I thought it would be cute to write a few of Kaylynn's favorite things, but I have to think. She likes a lot of things. She loves to be outside and play, especially in her Little Tykes Car (she really loves when mom pushes her turbo speed across the lawn), climbing up the slide and swinging. She is very social. She loves her friends. When she sees them at church they squeal and hug and hold hands and she gets a bit upset when she sees them during the meeting and isn't able to go greet them with hugs and handshakes. She likes to shake people's hands at church, I think mainly because she sees dad doing it. He goes around and welcomes people and sometimes she goes with him. Sometimes she jets off and does it on her own. She loves Dora the Explorer, espeically Back pack and map. She says "packpack". It is too cute. Favorite foods would have to be cheese and otter pops, although she loves apples, yogurt and fruit snacks and will eat most things. The only thing she always shoots down be it cooked, raw or hidden in things is broccoli. If she gets it in her mouth, she usually will spit it out. She has a bit of a shoe fettish. Her favorite pair are her purple crocks. Her friend that gave her shoes for her gift, her mom really knows Kaylynn well. When her friends are here she will often go down on the landing and try on their shoes (Alaskan thing that you don't wear shoes in the house). She'll also try on Brandon's or mine or whoever's happen to be there. She loves baths, playing with her kitchen, getting into the pans, helping measure and stir things when I'm baking, and licking the beaters. When she wants to watch a movie she says, "Memo". It is some sort of cross between Nemo and Elmo, both of which she likes. She's a bink baby, but we've mostly relegated it only for naps and bedtime. She does pretty good, but she does kife her brothers. Can't say a favorite color for sure, but the one thing she will always choose to wear when given the choice is her princess hoodie. She had one with Elmo that was her favorite at 18 months, the princess one is the similar, but bigger. She likes zippers, opening things, giving kisses and is very good as saying 'tank u' for thank you. She says a lot of words, and surprises me every day with new things she says. I kind of think she's been saying them for a while, it just takes me a bit to recognize, and she gets clearer. Then, like the other day, she just started saying 'apple'. It makes it a lot easier when she is able to say what she wants rather than pointing or me guessing. She knows it's easier to grab my hand and show me rather than try to explain some things. She's an amazing little lady. I can't believe she's already two. Time is flying too fast. At night when I cuddle with her before bedtime I thank Heavenly Father for blessing us in such a special way with our wonderful little girl. Every day, but especially on her birthday, I think of her amazing birthmom and how much we love her too. Happy Birthday my little angel baby. Don't grow too fast.
