Our "baby" is officially TWO! I can't believe we're into the two's with this one. She's about 33 inches tall and 24.6lbs. She's still measuring in the 20th percentile on height/weight but at least she's consistent! She did have some fluid in her ears from what our ped could see, so like her sister, we're getting a referral to an ENT for some possible ear tubes. We don't want it delaying her speech. She's forward facing now and so far NO MORE CAR SICKNESS! It was a LONG two year struggle with that, poor babe.
First and foremost, this girl LOVES her Mama. My heart melts when she says "Ma-Ma!" She's always been my #1 fan and I love it. Especially since her older sister is a complete Daddy's girl nowadays. She follows me anywhere in the house, has to stand right between my legs every time I pee and is forever standing at my feet with her arms up saying "Uppy!" (Meaning up please!) She always wants carried and I swear that's why she didn't walk until almost 18 months.
She's a great eater! She'll try anything once. Items that she loves that is really weird for a two year old: kale mixed salad and coleslaw. Her favorites are: cheese, Ritz crackers, grapes, blueberries, waffles, yogurt, fruit pouches and WaWa (water). She's not a huge fan of scrambled eggs or lunch meat.
She is at that age where she must have and do whatever her sister is doing. She mimics her frustrated outburst sounds and body language. It's both hilarious and cringe worthy. Gone are the days where we could just give Norah a bite of a cookie and expect Scarlett not to notice!
This girl absolutely LOVES books. When we escort them upstairs after dinner to wind down in the play room the first thing this girl visits are her piles and piles of books in her room. She'll grab them one by one, sit, page through them then get up for another. She'll do this nightly for about 30 minutes then go play with toys with Norah. We love watching her. Nightly she requires at least 3 books and she's very particular. She'll shoo away books she doesn't favor and nestle into your lap for books she does. It's so funny seeing her so opinionated about her literature. Her absolute favorites are: Any llama llama short books, Good Night Moon, The Hungry Caterpillar, Big Bed for Giraffe, Baby's First Words and Brown Bear Brown Bear.
In addition to books she loves going outside, water play, baby dolls and dogs! She really is an animal lover. She loves our cats but they don't reciprocate too well. She's into climbing on everything and testing all the boundaries with things she shouldn't be doing. She loves wrestling with Norah and rolling all over the floor with her. She loves dancing with her Daddy to the record player and all the spins that come with it.
She's not a huge fan of washing her hair at bath time, long car rides, eating dinner at the table alone, being left alone at all or swimming!
We love her pouty lip when she's sad, that she instantly cries anytime Norah tells her "No!", her contagious laugh, and her amazing open mouth smiles she learned from her sister and Mama.
We love our little "Scarley Harley" or "Lou Lou"! I'm a little anxious to see her in a big sister role, but we'll all adjust. We love her SO much and can't imagine our family without her.
Happy second birthday sweet Scarlett!
