"I do it", "Two eyum", "knack","finkle finkle whittel stawr","w,x,y and z...now what?", "I slall it", "white dawre Paige","Ohwd Gwouwy" and "wuv you too". AKA, I do it, two of them, snack, twinkle twinkle little star, w,x,y and z now I know my....., I saw it, right there Paige, Old Glory,and love you too.
These are just a few of the many hilarious phrases our now, twodler, says. Reece is growing up right before our eyes and I actually believe hit her "twos" a few months ago. She is determined, stubborn, hilarious, adorable, clever, sporty and strong! She has mastered hitting, pulling hair and pushing others down and prefers those little friends that are smaller than she is. She is comfortable with timeout and listens for the beep beep after two minutes. We hope she outgrows this stage soon! She already has had numerous bruises, a chipped tooth, a black eye and a split chin requiring an ER visit for stitches all before turning two.
She is still our little sleeper requiring 12 hours a night and at least a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon. She won't turn down much for food and is a great little eater. Did I mention she also loves to eat toothpaste, aquaphor and lotion? She loves dancing, playing with Paige, "reading" or listening to books and taking baths. We are in a wonderful stage right now where she will let me cuddle her in the rocking chair to sing songs before bed. I hold on tight to her knowing this won't last long...
We had a great birthday party at the bowling alley with all her friends and had another amazing cake made and inspired by Granny B with help from Daddy. We think this one was her best yet!
Granny B and GG, thanks for your help with the girls! It was great to see you both!
Reece, we love you and Happy Birthday!
At age 2, Reece stands 38 inches tall and weighs 31 lbs. An inch taller and 2 lbs heavier than Paigey at 2. Off the charts for height as usual and 90th for weight. You get em Reece!

Happy New Year!

9 days later.....and Happy New Year!

We had a great New Years weekend with 14 adults in attendence for dinner with 7 kiddos, our largest yet. T.Jay and I graced our friends with our onsies that I bought in Cody over Thanksgiving and of course, I don't have a picture of them except on my phone. Reece ended up with a black eye, not quite sure how, but after she hit Cole for the 15th time, he probably swung back. Kidding, we think she fell on the stairs.
We ended the night with Catch Phrase again and my team lost again.....I think the other team cheats! The next morning, T.Jay cooked up an awesome mixture for breakfast burritos on the discada and then the scratch tickets began. Unforutatley, even after 10 hours and 5 different trips to the grocery store, we only had enough to buy everyone lunch the following day. Someday, someday, we'll hit the big one! :)
The crab feast mid-afternoon was a highlite for sure but I think we all just like the delicous butter we drizzle over it!
Sorry for the lack of pictures, not many were taken!

Hope this year is a healthy and prosperous one for all!
T.Jay's motto this year, "Clean it up in 2012" Meaning back off the beers and fats! We'll see how long that one lasts!
