Our Lovely Rose: Someone is 2!

We have enjoyed a great Spring and have been busy exploring, learning, and having lots of fun as we get full swing into Summer. Rose participated in her very first Easter egg hunt and Grandma and Grandpa T's this year. It was a beautiful day and she found all of her eggs. We've been enjoying walks to many parks in our neighborhood and the backyard. She like to call our yard, her very own "park". We now have the playscape, a little playhouse, an airplane teeter totter, and the water table to provide countless hours of fun! We had a fun visit to Greenfield Village in April to see Thomas the Train. She loved it and then enjoyed two rides on the carousel.

Rose has taken an interest to legos and enjoys building castles and towers. She loves her puzzles and books and has been making up lots of her very own songs lately. She is into stickers, playing doctor and absolutely loves watching Dora the Explorer. Her favorite movie of them moment is Finding Nemo. It can really hold her attention. She knows her shapes, colors, ABCs, and countless songs now. Her vocabulary is amazing and she really can carry on a conversation with you now. It is too funny to hear some of those things that come out of that little mouth.

We celebrated Rose's second birthday and had lots of fun visiting with family at her party. She is enjoying all of her new toys. She is excited to become a big sister in September, although I'm not sure she really gets it. We have been reading books about how special it is to be a big sister, so hopefully she will be ready to fulfill her duties by then!

She is such a sweet, outgoing, playful girl. It's been a fantastic few months. Enjoy the pictures and sorry for the delay in posts. More to come soon.
