Sweet little Erin turned 2 on Saturday! We had a very fun weekend in Concord, seeing Logan play soccer, checking out Logan and Ansley's beautiful new house, and seeing the whole family at the joint birthday bash on Sunday. Erin shared her Elmo party with Aunt Maria and Uncle Chris. We didn't get many pictures, so we'll share Grandma's in a few days. It was such a fun time, and Erin had a blast! She also got to go to the state fair on Friday morning before we left, and she liked seeing the animals and playing at the PBS Kids exhibit, but was a little intimidated by all the people and noise. Anna, however, loved it - except when the ham biscuit guy got in her face!
It's hard to believe she is 2 years old...and that we have been parents for 2 years. It has definitely gotten easier now that she is past all the baby stuff (not my favorite time), and we are thrilled to see the smart, sweet, and sassy little girl that she is becoming. We love her so much and are just so lucky to have her as a daughter!
Here are some of Erin's favorite things:
food - especially spaghetti, anything Mexican, pizza, macaroni, and beans...she also can spot a baked good a mile away...that's my girl!
books - she has moved on to "big girl" books and LOVES to read them (over and over and over)
being outside - pushing her baby doll in her stroller, going to the park, where she will go down the curly slide all by herself, and just running around in the grass
helping - she insists on closing car doors herself, and will help Mommy put away laundry baskets and push in chairs, as well as cleaning up her bath toys
the couch - she loves sitting on it, jumping on it, and doing belly flops on it, much to Bella's chagrin
music - though she prefers to listen rather than make music...her new music instruments (tambourine, maracas, triangle, castanets, etc.) are mostly enjoyed by Anna right now
stickers - and more recently, drawing with crayons and markers
She has her checkup on Wednesday, so that shall be interesting. Daddy volunteered to take her, so I jumped right on that! We'll keep you posted on that, and if her ear infection decided to clear up on its own (since she is giving us a terrible time with taking the antibiotic).
