Anna Kate is 2!!

Anna Kate turned 2 on June 27th!!

She is a spunky, funny, smart, adorable 2 year old! Some of her favorite things now are collecting rocks, gymnastics class, looking at books, helping cooking especially baking, and swinging!

She is really friendly and loves to wave and say hi to anyone and everyone. It's like she has never met a stranger and she is definitely not shy! At her 2 year doctor visit, the doctor said that this visit doesn't tend to go well because 2 year olds generally don't like "strangers." Anna Kate just chatted with him and no tears were shed at all!! At her visit she weighed 24 lbs 10 oz (37%) and is 34.75 (70 %) inches tall. She is also very brave! She will try everything her gymnastics teacher asks her to try 

She loves to play with older kids and fits right in with all of the make believe games. She just jumps right in to whatever everyone is playing and has a great time with them. And everyone loves playing with her too because she's so fun :) Of course she loves to play with her best friend, Claire!

She talks a lot!! She speaks in sentences. Loves to sing the ABC song!

She loves owls and wanted an owl birthday party for her 2nd birthday! So we had an owl party at Pepe's house in Williamsburg and she loved it!

Happy 2nd Birthday sweet Anna Kate!

Anna Kate is 23 months old!

Anna Kate turned 23 months on May 27th! I can't believe that she is going to be 2 next month!!!

Her favorite food is macaroni and cheese for sure!! She can really eat a lot of that! She also likes grapes, roasted broccoli, cheese, mozzarella sticks, peanuts, and Wheat thins. She also has quite the sweet tooth like her sister and loves cookies too!

She loves to build things with the magna-tiles, throw balls, , coloring, and she loves to play with the dollhouse.

We are playing outside a lot now that the weather is so much warmer! She loves to ride in the push along cozy coupe. She is always sure to wear her helmet when riding in the car like her sister does when she rides her scooter...before she even climbs into the car she has her helmet in hand! She loves playing outside with her sister and neighbor friends!

Anna Kate loves filling the the blank to "Miss Mary Mack," You say Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack all dressed in ....." She will say "black, black, black!" She also love to sing the chorus to "Let it Go" over and over and over again! She still loves to do patty cake and loves to say different letters instead of "b" for baby!

She is getting better with counting and can do 1, 2, 3 easily. But she tends to skip 4, 5, 6 and goes from 7 to 14. For some reason she doesn't lie 4, 5 or 6!

Loves the pockets!

Swing time!

More sticker fun!

I drank out of a big girl cup!

Wait up sissy, I'm right behind you!

Hmmm...I think I like fudgicles!

She loves stickers, swings and her sister!! She cam sit there for hours with stickers and take them off one by one and put them onto the paper. Or her arms! She is very proud of her sticker creations.

And she loves the swing, that's the first thing she goes for at the playground. Then the slide!

And she loves to do whatever her sister is doing. They play so well together now. They really get each other now and act out trips to the beach, taking their baby dolls for a walk to the park, etc.

Anna Kate is 21 months old!

Anna Kate turned 21 months on March 27th! Such a fun loving, happy girl!

At storytime at the library her favorite song is "Zoom, zoom, zoom. We're going to the moon! 5,4,3,2,1 blast off!!" She loves to crouch down and jump up when we say blast off! When she is crouching down she pats her knees to the beat!

She loves to turn on her noise maker in her room and sit in her rocking chair and look through her books! If I hear the noise maker turn on during the day, I know where to find her!

She has great manners and will say usually always say "please" and "thank you."

She loves to get the diaper wipes and change the baby dolls diapers. And she is really into taking off her own pants and diaper!!

I was singing "skina ma rink a dink a dink (sp?!?)" and when I got to the "I love..." Anna Kate yells "you!" from the next room!

She loves to play with the dinosaurs and dinosaur mat. She will lay out the mat and line up all of her dinosaurs on it!

Still loves the swing! And pushes from her big sister!

Lunch time fun with Sissy! 

Reading books together :)

Chocolate ice cream, yummy!

More swinging!

We were looking for Anna Kate before the party started and found her here. She had taken the bowl of "Snowballs" from the dining room table and carefully carried them to the kids table to enjoy her big bowl of snacks!

You caught me!
