My TWO-year-old

So, at two years old, Kate is as vivacious as ever, fiercely independent, and always lovey-dovey toward her animals and dolls. She picks up new words every day and has a vocabulary of several hundred, I'm sure. Her favorite sentence: "Me do that." She weighs about 26 pounds, likes to jump, can put on her own shoes, and drinks apple juice like the world's going to end tomorrow. She also loves to color, although for some reason, since Easter, she'll only say she's coloring "deviled eggs." Her favorite TV show is "Yo Gabba Gabba," and she usually dances throughout an episode. We're working on potty training, and she collects jelly beans in a medicine container for going pee-pee in the potty. She laughs easily, cries even more easily, and is a ham for the camera, crinkling up her beautiful eyes to say "cheeeeese." She is comforted by her "Pinky Bear," and strokes the animal gently, thumb in mouth, to go to sleep. I took her to Old Mesilla for a photo session to commemorate her second birthday, and she was a natural model.
