~Cordelia at Two~

Back at the end of August this little lady turned TWO!  

She can be the sweetest little girl around, whispering to her Mommy and Daddy "Guess what?  I love you!"  She gives the very best hugs and loves to snuggle up for naps or bedtime, where she wraps her arms ever so tight around your neck or just leaves her little hand on your cheek.  

Cordy loves to be silly. She follows her siblings around wanting to do whatever they are doing.  She has so much fun discovering her world and how things work. 

Cordy is also our fearless two year old.  She frequently will climb to the top of any ladder, any playground, any bookshelf or baseball field back stop.  Other parents are frequently terrified by her antics.  While we would like her to stay safe, we know she has a pretty good sense of how to move and use her body.  I still like to keep one good eye on her most of the time though.

Cordy has also learned to love books!  She asks for "Hop on Pop", "Hand Hand Fingers Thumb" and "Go Dog Go!" a million times over.  As much as I delight in her excitment for books, I must admit there are days that I find myself trying to hide them after the 3rd or 4th reading.  

It must also be stated that Cordy loves her Daddy something fierce!  There are many a day she cries when he has to go to work or leave the house.  She frequently asks when he is coming home and has even gone at far to say "No, mommy.  You go to work!  Daddy stay home!"  Ouch. I guess I can't really blame her.  Nick is an awesome dad and most of the time when he is around he is teasing her, flipping her around in the air, playing with her, and watching fun shows.  

Cordy is still our little lady, measuring at 32 7/8 inches tall (24%)  and  25.2 lbs (26%).  That is a good two inches shorter than either of her siblings at the same age.  Her hair is taking it's sweet time to grow out on top, but she pulls off a fantastic pigtail mullet.  We think she's the cutest little two year old around.

Dearest Cordelia,

My darling, you are growing up so fast!  It's so fun to see your bright blue eyes discover something new.  I love hearing your high pitched sweet, happy voice and your "please thank you!" response to almost everything.  Your snuggles and hugs melt my heart.  You bring so much joy to our family.  Your new found independence may bring the occasional fit, but you really are a sweet heart. We love you dearly and can't imagine life without you.  

 I love you to the moon and beyond!

Your Mama
