Today our little Mallory turns 2.5! We can't believe how much she has grown in a year! And that her brother already weighs as much as she did this time last year!!! (Click here) She is at such a neat age....she is trying to do more and more on her own...I often sing, "All you women who independent...throw your hands up at me!!!!" throughout our day....here she is trying to tie her sneaks...
She is soooo tall now...we took out a yard stick the other day and she is almost as tall as it is!!! She is 35.5 inches at 30 months! (Hence the title of this post!)
She often surprises us with the connections she is making when we do activities....she loved doing the Resurrection Eggs...once after we opened an egg and talked about what was inside she started singing..."Thank you for the cross" on her own...it was such a neat moment. Other times she is a typical 2 yr old with her melt downs...Dinner time has been a challenge as of late bc we want to chat with her and enjoy that special family time. She wants to eat and be done...so we are working on staying at the table a bit longer...here she is after dinner last night after we looked inside our final egg....
This morning she had fun going back through all the eggs and chatting about the contents...
We are so grateful for our little girl and she brings such JOY and CHALLENGE to our life....we love it...as she grows we are growing too! :) Always something new to learn for both parties! We have this planned for Friday and we are so excited...we haven't told her yet, but we will when we wake her up Friday morning...she is going to be awestruck seeing her favorite people in real life!!!! :)
