Well Mallory is two today and she is weighing in at 34lbs and 36 inches. I guess this means she'll be 6 feet when she's older, we'll see how accurate that is. Here are some things she has been up to lately:
She can count to to ten in English, and partially in Spanish (she says uno, dos, quatro, diez).
She loves to color a lot and play with play dough.
She always puts her bears and babies to sleep with the blanket on their head and pats their back.
She has to have a snack and a juice box the moment she wakes up. I think she says it while she is still sleeping.
She is a great laundry helper. She loves pushing the basket and putting the clothes in and out of the washer and dryer. The downside is that she loves to unfold folded laundry.
She loves bath time, especially eating the bubbles. She hates when the water gets in her eyes when we wash her hair.
She knows at night we eat dinner, take a bath, get a diaper on (sometimes with cream), get pajamas on, brush her hair, and brush her teeth (which she isn't usually a fan of unless "Daddy do it.")
She'll eat pretty much anything but applesauce and potato peels.
She sings all day long. Her favorites are still Down, Row Row Row your Boat, Twinkle Twinkle, the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Are you Sleeping, and many others that she learns at school that we don't know the names of.
She loves telling Roscoe "no bawking Woscoe."
Everything is "my this" and "my that." I love teasing with her and saying "no it's mine" back to her. She thinks it's funny most of the time (unless it's in regards to Daddy).
She likes sitting in the massage chair I got for my birthday (which is amazing) just as much as I do.
She could easily be potty trained because she will tell us to put a diaper on when she needs to go potty, but she wont actually go in her potty.
She can throw really far and most of the time what you get hit it hurts.
Everything is "ah me." So if you are leaving the room she will say that so you take her too.
She has all the kids coats and hooks at school memorized by name (and I have no idea how she knows this). They say she just watches them when they come in.
She gives the best hugs and kisses (on her terms). The kisses are even closed lip now!
She can't stand when her coat touches her face when we put her in the car seat and is very adamant you put her coat edges under the straps.
She loves the Backyardigans and Barney in the car in the morning (a whole 3 minutes on the way to school).
Frito's are her favorite snack (and the one snack that the smell of makes me sick!).
She thinks we have to have the computer in order to nurse.
She has to have a fork or spoon to eat dinner.
She thinks it's really funny to run as fast as she can away from you in the store.
She loves teasing Roscoe with her food by dangling her hand down the chair and then yelling at him if he starts sniffing it.
She is the sweetest, most polite (saying please and thank you), and helpful kid most of the time but she is definitely a tantrum thrower.
Time outs don't work because she will put herself in them after she does something wrong.
She is very sensitive and gets her feelings hurt easily when she knows we are upset.
All of sudden she's started singing "da da da da Batman!" She's never seen it or heard that from us....
She has been singing "Happy Day to You" all morning. We are having a birthday party for her next Saturday so hopefully I can get some good pics up then. Have a great week!

Anytime she puts on new clothes, sunglasses, a purse, etc., she thinks she needs her picture taken. So this was just after she was helping out with the chair.
