Haven's 2nd birthday was December 18th, and my mom pulled together quite the party! She made her famous chicken enchiladas and invited over 20 neighbors and friends to the house to help us celebrate the big day. Even though we didn't know many of the folks that arrived, it was a very fun evening for both Haven and I. She LOVED tearing through the wrapping, and would often discard the gift, or whatever was under the colorful paper. I had to teach her to see what was inside the box or actually LOOK at the gift before throwing it on the ground and asking for "more present."
She knows she has turned two, and will tell you her age if you asked. Let's see.... what else is she accomplishing now that she is a true toddler! She has surprised us by learning her numbers quickly and can count to 10. She knows her colors and often tells us the color of marker or crayon she has chosen before coloring. Her vocabulary is typical for a two year old and she tries to say everything she can wrap her mouth around. She chats non-stop all day long, and is pack full of energy... I can hardly keep up with her. Yes, she throws tantrums, tells us "NO!" and can manipulate like the pros... but we are very fortunate to have a little sweetie with a big heart, who is always ready to "help" and clean up, gives ample hugs and kisses, and actually loves cooked peas. Now, we will be going through it all again as we are expecting another little Speer on Julyl 7th.
