I am now 2

She is now a 2-year-old full force. Demanding, full of hugs and kisses, and talking up a storm. Here are a few pics....the one with the orange hood is her Halloween costume from last fall....she just had to try it on and then wear it for 30 minutes.

Happy 2nd Birthday sweet EG.

EG asked for three things for her birthday: toothpaste, panties, and cupcakes.

She got all three.

We also take a picture of her first thing in the morning on her birthday....

First Haircut

EllaGrace was born with white peach fuzz all over her head. By 2 months she had lost all of that and was completely bald. Completely. Before her first birthday she started to grow hair from the base of her neck up. This, after a year, resulted in a mullet. The back of her hair was full of curls and was long enough to put into two pony-tails, but the sides and front were still very short and wavy.

Yesterday, we took her in for her first haircut (more of a shaping). She did great. She sat very quietly and did everything we ask her to do (look down, look up, etc...). Her hair is much shorter in the back now and the mullet is gone. She still has her curls too....

We moved back

We thought we would go to wordpress.com because it allows us to password protect our posts, however wordpress charges you 60 bucks for a video upload....we are way too cheap to pay that so we are back to free blogspot.

EG is doing great. She is 22 months old and talks all day long. We have changed her schedule...FINALLY!!! It only took us 20 months to do it. This is what her day looks like now:

6:30am: wake up
7:15am: breakfast
9:00am: snack
11:00am: lunch
11:30am - 1:30pm: nap
2:00/3:00pm (depends) - snack
5:00 pm: dinner
6:30pm: bath
7:00pm: bedtime

It is so much easier to manage the afternoon without having to rush to get dinner on the table by 4:30 pm

So, what fun has she been having...see below...building forts...discovering Easter fun...figuring out how to reach the cookies...











Thank you for coming back to our blog! Sorry about all the changes!
