Charlotte is Two Years Old

 Charlotte turned 2 on a Monday this year.  We sent her to school so she could celebrate with her classmates.  They had some really tasty cupcakes.  Andrew and I went to Toys R Us to decide what to get her for her birthday.  Nothing like waiting until the last minute! :) We picked out this RadioFlyer Pink and Red ridiculous adorable trike.  I just love this thing. It is so cute. 

 And guess who else loves it?? Miss Charlotte!  How perfect that she can carry her babies around in the trunk!

 She's still learning to pedal it but she should be zipping around in no time.

 After we played with the bike, we took Tommy to his speech class at Purdue.  Charlotte enjoyed playing around outside the building.  Climb that fence, girl!

 There was so much to see and do!

 After class, we went to Red Lobster for dinner.  Charlotte was excited to have salad! Her favorite food besides soup!

We snapped a quick pic outside the restaurant.  We made her wear her birthday hat and they sang to her.  She was a little scared but she also loved it.  Too fun.

Charlotte is officially TWO! She had her doctor's appointment on Tuesday.  I didn't get a picture of that visit.  She is 34.3 inches which is in the 63rd percentile.  She is 26.6 pounds which is 50th percentile.  I don't remember what they said about her head size though.  But she is growing wonderfully still.  She is still afraid of her doctor but at least she didn't scream the whole time.

Tommy had another funny moment at the appointment.  He cracked Dr. Fahler up last time by leaning over and whispering to me after he had been in our office for about 10 minutes, he whispered a little too loudly, "I think that's Dr. Fahler!"  Haha!! Well this time, while he was examining Charlotte, Tommy pipes up with, "I just scanned you."  Dr Fahler laughed and said, "How did you do that?"  Tommy goes, "I went like this (he crossed his eyes) and I scanned you!!" Dr F thought that was really really funny and he told Tommy to make sure he did it for the nurse too.  Haha!! Oh Tommy, always entertaining.

Ok anyway, back to Charlotte.  So Charlotte has gotten so big.

 This little babe...

 Has grown and grown...

Look at how she's changed!! Look at all that hair!!

She's definitely turning into a little girl... 

With a big personality!!

She loves everything, not the least of which is the Incredible Hulk. 

Hulk 'Mash!

My sweet sleeper!

She loves watching Tommy play soccer and she really loves FOOD!

She was so excited about eating blueberry pancakes one day that she ate them the entire time with closed eyes.

Besides food, she really loves her brother.  They do ab workouts together. 

They also pretend to sleep in Tommy's bed together too. 

Charlotte loves to climb.  She climbs fences, stairs, shelves, chairs, whatever she wants. She doesn't let onions or potatoes get in her way. 

Our little Charlee baby.  She knows her colors.  She loves singing the alphabet or really any song in the world.  She just loves singing.  She is starting to speak in short sentences. Sometimes she is hard to understand but she has a lot to say.  She still loves Frozen and loves singing the songs at the top of her lungs. She gives the best hugs with a sweet little I yuuuvvv you!
She is so happy.  That's my favorite part.  Sure, she has bad days but she is so full of joy.  I love seeing the world through her eyes.  Happy Birthday, our dear Charlotte. We love you so!
