Happiest Birthday Chloe

2nd Birthday

Birthday

1st Birthday

Things about Chloe at two...

• She talks and talks and talks and talks, then whispers and talks and talks.
• And all that talking makes sense. She has such a large vocabulary.
  
• She loves spinning and does it anywhere; at the ward Halloween party, waiting in line to vote, at the grocery store, in the living room, you get the picture.
• She is so smart. She can count to 11, sing her ABC's (my favorite is double x), remembers where she put things, remembers places (Ikea, Costco, Storyville, Chick-fil-a), and she surprises us with new things everyday.
• She is independent.
• She loves to read books.
• She hates bed time. Her best phrases are "It's NOT bedtime" and "I NOT tired"
  
• She gives the best "tight" hugs and kisses.
• She is growing so big, so fast. She has grown to the average size of a 33 month old.
• She loves to be in the kitchen cooking with me. She loves to get her "ladder" (step-stool) and be right where I am, where she "helps" me.
• She likes to do "yellows" in the potty. It is a work in progress.
  
• She also loves to play in the kitchen sink. She loves it when it is full of dirty dishes (never happens) so she has something to play with.
  
• She loves to wear her Utah shirt (Go Utes!) and even more she loves it when Daddy wears his too.
  
• She loves to throw pennies in fountains.
  
• She always asks to "share a candy" with one of us. This started with a caramel and if I let her have it first she will take a bite and then give me the rest. So cute!
• She loves Cinderella and would watch it 3 times a day if I would let her.
• She is so excited to be moving to Utah, but I know she doesn't fully understand.
• She loves pink.
• She loves jumping. Again, she will jump anywhere possible.
• She wakes us up in the morning saying "Hey guys. Where are you?" over and over.
• She refers to herself in third person. Many of her sentences begin "Chloe..."
• She loves her pink blanket and her "Lovie." Luckily the binkie is gone (hooray!).
• She loves to dance. She has quite the hip shake.
• She loves her Daddy and will go to him first if he is home.
  
• She loves when her Daddy comes home from work.
• She says "no Mama no" which I never thought I would love so much.
• She is a good pretender. She will take pretend Cheerios from her Daddy and feed her stuffed animals pretend M&M's for doing yellow's in the potty.
  
• She loves to sing. I couldn't name a favorite song, because she has a new preference everyday.
  
• She loves big, plays big, and tantrums big. She is all 2!
  

Happy Birthday Pickle!
