Two years ago today, the earth shook with the first earthquake in central Pennsylvania since the late 1800's. We didn't feel the earth shake that day because we were falling in love with a little girl who would rock our world from that very day forward.
Kinley, today you are two years old. My brain knew that my time with you as a "baby" would go by quickly. My heart knew it too but it has a more difficult time adapting to the idea of you being a toddler. You continue to be a spirited and strong willed little girl. That's my way of politely telling you that though you are sweet you still give me a hard time! You continue to have absolutely no idea that you are only 2 years old and not 6 or 9 like McKenna and Cooper. You fully expect and believe that you can do anything they can do. It's both adorable and completely frustrating for both of us.
You're petite in your frame but not in your imagination or your spirit. You're weighing in these days at just over 24 pounds. You've grown this summer enough to earn yourself some size two clothes for the fall.
You still love to sing and dance and your VBS songs are your absolute favorite. Every time we get in the car you ask for "my songs" and then sing each one with all your little heart. I love it when we get to certain songs and you say, "Mom, this my favorite." You love Mickey Mouse and Minnie, Sophia the First and Doc McStuffins, too. Our whole family is just dying to take you to Disney this fall!
This summer you started sleeping for up to 12 hours over night and napping for 2-3 hours during the day. Your eating has slacked off a bit but not more than expected for someone who is two. You're counting to 14 these days and for the most part can say the alphabet with some assistance. Drawing funny faces with Daddy is another one of your most favorite things to do.
Love, Mommy
