2 years old!

I can't believe our girl is 2 years old! She is such a sassy, funny, smart and creative kid! We are going into the twos expecting some sass and she already has red hair!

Favorite things

Frozen. She loves frozen so much, she doesnt call the movie by its name she calls it "go go", when “let it go” comes on she just screams singing gooooo. She even loves the movie so much if we aren’t watching it we came up with a rule that is the movie isnt on she can read frozen books instead. She decided one day she would need one of her books to go with us to the park. She played with her frozen book on the slide, it was so funny! 

She started a new dayhome and since she has started she has really developed her speech. She has learnt a lot of small words and can decipher between items. “Go away” is her favorite saying. She can be quite bossy and scream “ma” when we aren’t paying attention to her. She loves jumping on the trampoline so we got her one for inside too. She is OBSESSED with cats and sad to say one of these days her dad and I might have to get one. She loves playing with anything with buckles like her car seat. 

She likes to choose her own outfits and put on her clothing by herself. 

She loves to run. All the time anywhere it’s really hard for me to keep up with her!

She really caught onto the word NO, and is really sassy about it. She fully understands the meaning of it, she loves to slam doors, open them and close them by herself. 

She has been taking off her diaper a lot which makes me worried that she's ready for potty training. 

Trips and outings:

She went to Calloway park for the first time with our friends molly and emiley. She loved the train at Calloway, she wasn’t a fan of a tiny car ride. 

We went and visited our cousins in Calgary and had a huge water fight with them! 

Her birthday party was wild. We had to make a back up plan since we couldn't get the church doors open so we used their little shelter outside. Everyone still had fun making elsa crowns and sven deer ears, we had lots of help from our friends at her party to help set up and make it work for her birthday. All the kids had fun and loved running around, since there was so many toddlers we had to break up fights a lot over toys. 

17 months-22 months

Sorry I havent had the most frequent uploads lately. Life just gets so busy! Macy is currently 22 almost 23 months and time has flown! 

Updates:

SO much has changed with our little girl! Macy got glasses, she has almost all her teeth within this amount of time, she got her first haircut, she is talking up a storm and learning new words every single day! All throughout this time she has still been in 12-18 month clothing and in size 4 diapers. She has been on lots of adventures, with grandma, mommy, daddy and with all of our friends. She loves going to the park and loves to go down the tallest slide at the park. She loves to body slam onto the bed, be chased, run.....run all the time. She loves to hug, and kiss. Her favorite person by far is definitely her daddy anytime she sees a truck she runs up to the driver side yelling daddy! A huge update is in May I found out that Macy is going to be a big sister at the end of january! 

funny things:

Our girl is such a character. Her favorite movie is definitely frozen and her favorite song is baby shark. She is still so attached to puppy and I have to try and sneak him to get him washed at least 1 time a week (so gross)! She loves playing with her toy stroller, she loves to help clean up the house, and she loves splashing as much as she can in the bath! Some funny moments I remember during this time is I taught her how to say "coochie coochie coo", one day she took off her diaper and started to play with her lady bits while saying "coochie coochie coo" although it was terrible, I thought that was the most hilarious thing ever. She has a very strange liking to brushing her teeth and she could do it all day everyday if she could. She figured out how to put deodorant on but instead she puts it on her neck. She does this whine that makes me laugh that sounds like "uhhh huhhhhh". She is quite the thrill seeker and enjoys to climb up on nearly anything even if it makes me almost have a heart attack. 

When her auntie was down visiting her she put vaseline in her hair. We had to come together as a team to find out how to get all the vaseline out of her hair and it took about a week for it to fully come out. We found out that if you put cornstarch in the hair it absorbs the oil of the vaseline then you have to wash her hair with a degreaser dish soap to fully get it out. 

When she is way to quiet in a room by herself, we should definitely be scared. Macy dumped and spread out cumin AND pepper all over the kitchen. 

She loves to try to carry anything that is larger than her to show us her strength, whether its a super heavy hydroflask water bottle or if its a wicker basket the size of her at the phsyio clinic. 

She has been putting her puppy to bed by tucking him with a blanket and kissing him goodnight its just the cutest thing. 

Anytime we are on the phone with someone or through a drive thru. She always has to tell them hi and bye regardless if they are talking to her or not. 

16 months

Update: Our crazy chicken is 16 months! She still had 0 teeth, she learned new words like bubbles, nana, hi, bye! She learned how to brush her hair on her own. She is pretty much running! She is currently in 12-18 month clothing and size 4t in shoes! Lastly, her favorite food is anything dipped in ketchup!
Trips and outings: We had an emergency trip to the island to go see Dad's sister since she was in rough shape. It was a really rough trip, we had a flat tire when it was snowing badly, when we got to the island the power was out from a wind storm for the whole time. Our favorite parts of our trip was going to see Mom's sister, auntie kotarah, she enjoyed playing games with us, and we had a turkey dinner for christmas. We got to go on a ferry for the first time, and enjoyed talking with lots of other people on the ferry. Another highlight of our trip was the attendant at the hotel we stayed at, he truly made us feel like family, and made us feel right at home. He was great to bond with and chat about life with.

He let us make a mess of the travel brochures, take lots of extra oranges for Macy, etc.
We also celebrated new years playing games with our friends molly, brett and emiley. It was fun everybody played all night long!  The toddlers made it to new years better than the parents!
