2nd Birthday





This weekend we celebrated Peyton's 2nd Birthday. I can't even describe how crazy it feels to think that she is already 2 years old. The last 2 years has flown by faster than I could have even imagined. Her birthday was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed. Including a home-made Mickey Mouse Cake. Peyton fell asleep that night signing Happy Birthday to herself.

These days Peyton is quite independent...or would like to be anyway. I guess this is the start of the "terrible two's!" I can't even start to list all of the words she knows now. You can actually have a conversation with her and she will give you a sentence back. It may or may not make sense every time but she is incredibly smart. (and yes I know I am bias) She wow's us every day with something different that she says.
She loves to sing. Her favorite songs are: ABC's, Wheels on the Bus, Old McDonald, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Twinkle Twinkle. Things are songs she can sing by herself. She can count to 13 sometimes 14 on her own. Like every other toddler she loves to run and jump and be outside. She has discovered how much fun digging in the dirt can be and would be content doing that for hours!!
In the next couple weeks we are going to attempt to move her into a big girl bed. Since of course she will not accept that she is a baby anymore. If you tell her she is a baby she either says "I am not a baby I am Peyton Ferraro" or "I am not a baby I am a big girl." We are also working on mastering our skills with drinking out of a cup and continuing to work on potty training (which has taken a back burner recently).
