My Beautiful Little 2 Year Old!

Since we won't be home tomorrow, I decided to post about my sweet little girl a day early! We are celebrating Makayla's 2 year old birthday this weekend. I took this wiggly girl to take some pictures last Saturday. It is the hardest to take pictures of a 2 year old, I swear! The park we went to had a bunch of people and ducks...that was a mistake. She was super shy at all the people and she would not look at me at all. She wanted to play with the ducks and when she was not wanting to do that she was super distracted by all the people. Next time we go somewhere less distracting! However, we did get some cute ones from there and mostly from our front yard! 
It is so fun to have the little girl presence in a house full of boys. She is such a drama queen at moments, but that sweet little nurturing personality is so sweet. She gives us countless hugs and kisses and she just adores her little baby brother. She caresses his head and says, "It's ok Nate!" when he is crying. She is right by my side when we give him baths, change his diaper, and pops her head over the side of the bed to check on him when he is sleeping. We have a second momma on our hands:) She on the flip side is also quite spunky and quite the tomboy. She tries to be just like her brothers. She play trains and cars and whatever they are playing. I was telling Dan the other day that she even copies the boys yells and has such a non-girly yell! She loves to get dirty and she loves to be outside all day long! She does love the color purple and pink though. She loves her baby dolls too! I love the relationships she has with the boys and especially Levi right now. She just adores him. She calls him "Ya-yee." It is the cutest thing ever. He helps her when mom is busy with Nate, and she loves it! Makayla and Zack have a friend relationship more than a big brother one. They play all day together when Zack does not have preschool. They build train tracks, ride on the teeter totter and wiggle cars, and watch shows sitting cuddled together under a blanket. She lights up whenever Zack wants to play anything with her! I just love the relationships building between all of them. She loves the show Sheriff Callie right now. She also loves to sing. She only pronounces the last word of the sentence so it is very funny! She loves to sing the ABC's and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She is the most animated one during singing time in nursery. She loves her best buddy Lucy (aka sussie). They run and give each other gigantic hugs when they see each other. It is one way we get her to willingly stay in nursery! She is a crazy girl on her beloved wiggle car. She tears around corners and goes unnervingly fast for such a tiny girl! She still tries to color on everything, dump everything, spill everything, and make any mess that she can. My house looks like a tornado hit it most days. She did very well with potty training until baby came. She did ok with grandma's and then a week after they left I threw in the towel for a few days. Then with some pressuring she jumped back on the bandwagon and we have continued to work on it. She is about back to where she was, she will go when you take her. She will hit a point where she will want to go and will tell me, but until then we will just continue going when mom can take her! She still sleeps in her crib and I am hoping that won't change for a few months. She sleeps well and I don't want to rock that boat any time soon! She has daddy wrapped around her little finger and she runs to meet him at the door when he gets home everyday. She loves to wrestle with him. She loves to read books with him too. We love our little princess and love the sweet little spunky girl that she is growing in too!
