How is she already 2?

Hard to believe it was 2 years ago that Tim and I sat in a waiting room at a Wyoming hospital, eagerly anticipating the arrival of who we hoped and prayed would be our baby girl.  It was the longest day of our lives, but the gift we were given at 11:37pm on January 7, 2011 was beyond our comprehension.  This rolly polly, dark haired, blue eyed little bundle was laid in our arms and nestled her way into our hearts immediately.  God's amazing gift.  Our Squirt.  She's 2 today and is FULL of life, love, spirit, determination, giggles, emotions, strong will, attitude and pizazz.  Sometimes we just have to squeeze her to express how adored she is. 

Our Squirt at 2 years old:
Favorite food:  Cereal.  Frosted Mini Wheats to be exact.  She eats 3 man sized bowls every morning.  And would eat them again for lunch and dinner if we gave her the opportunity.  We had to eliminate Lucky Charms as she would only eat the marshmellows. 
Favorite Word:  "Me."  Followed with, "come" or "seat" or "do" or "cup" or "sleep."  You get the idea.  Really, her favorite word is "poopy," but we try to ignore that obsession.
Favorite person:  Daddy.  Hands down. 
Favorite toy:  Babies.  Any type, any color, any shape.  And her kitchen set.  She creates delicious tea parties for us daily. 
Favorite possession:  Her brown and pink "banky."  Wondering if we should buy a back up in case it gets lost and her world comes crashing down.  Because it might.
Favorite activity:  Attempting to dominate whatever her brother is doing at any given time.
Place you'll often find Squirt:  In time out.  We've chosen the 3rd stair going up to the bedrooms as it's easy for us to quickly scoop her up and watch her like a hawk.
Most endearing qualities - get ready, this will be a while:  He diva dance moves, her ability to hear everything we say and actually listen the first time, her giggle...oh her giggle, her ability to use the big potty at the tender of age of 18 months, her quickness to cover her eyes, apologize (sahyeeee) and smother us with kisses when she knows she's in trouble, her uncanny strength (she can knock her big brother right on his bootie at any time), her fondness for putting her finger and blanket up her nostril when she's getting sleepy, the way she folds her hands and claps at prayer time, her ability to make ANY woman in public stop and tell her how absolutely darling she is, her fountain pony tail perched on top of her blond head, her wind up "nnnnnnnnnnnO!"....I'll stop.  This could go on for longer than you're willing to read.  
Favorite clothing item:  Shoes, shoes, shoes.  She also loves to remove them at the most inopportune times.
Favorite household chore:  Cleaning.  She can't let a crumb go by without picking it up and either handing it to us or putting it in the garbage.  Same with her boogers.  Give the girl a rag and she'll be busy for 30 minutes. 

Happy birthday sweet baby girl.  You are one of a kind and we thank God that you're ours.
