My baby is two! We celebrated not too long ago with some good buddies and a bouquet of Elmo balloons. Her favorite part of the celebration was the Happy Birthday song. She sings it all the time now. So cute! 
She has become quite a conversationalist and I love to have little chats with her.
Marlee: I want to go bye-bye
Mom: oh, where do you want to go?
Marlee: in the van
Mom: where should we drive the van?
Marlee to get dinner
Mom: what should we eat for dinner?
Marlee: Food!
She adores her siblings and copies everything they do. If they are outside, then she wants to be outside. If they color, then so does she. Even though she isn't as big, she is quite sure she can handle anything they can. IHer favorite and most used phrase these days is: "I'll do it!"
Heath had a very proud moment back in March during the NCAA tournament when him and his boy were watching one of the endless basketball games. Heath got excited about a particular play and jumped up and yelled, "Go Kentucky!" Marlee looked at him, and jumped up and repeated it right back at him "Go Kin tuck ee!"
She seems to have an internal calendar because she always knows when it is Tuesday and she gets to play with her buddies Adam, Kyle, and Josh. She never misses pointing out "Stacy's house" whenever we drive in our out of the neighborhood.
She loves Elmo, Dora, princesses and "hi shoe muse a coo" (high school musical).
She gets very excited when she hears the garage door open, because Daddy is home, and insists on Mommy putting her to bed every night. Every bus we see is "Hayden's bus!" Her and Sage are getting to be good friends; they love to prepare meals in their little kitchen together and share snacks. However, she will rat Sage out in a second if she feels she has been wronged, "mom, Sage took my ball," She can turn on the water works too when a little extra sympathy is needed. She is also a bit of a rule enforcer. Step out of line and she will let you have it! "No Hayden" when he gets into an argument with me. Love that she always sides with me.
Messy doesn't even begin to describe her. However she doesn't like messy hands and will demand a napkin or a wipe. Same for diapers. If its dirty, and I don't respond immediately, she just takes it off herself (lots of stress over this!)
She can make a mess and isn't afraid brag, "I made a mess!"
She would read books all day long if possible. Her favs are the puppy book I got her at a bookfair at the hospital, the lift a flap books that Hayden got as a baby (boy, are they in rough shape) and the Elmo colors and shapes books. She hasn't got to Twilight yet though...
TV holds no interest to her unless its the DVD player in the van, then she wants "Elmo on"
Favorite foods: Pizza, noodles, bananas, goldfish crackers and "oh git" (yogurt)
We have kicked the binky habit, however she still likes to sleep with three old ones that are completely chewed up and gross. She has learned to get in and out of her crib so she often climbs out to fill her crib up with as many toys she can get her hands on. I usually find her buried under a pile of blankets and dolls after naps.
I love to laugh with her because she has an amazing wicked cackle. She loves to have her "hummy" tickled. She is a total joy! Happy Birthday to you Marlee-girl!
