[laurski81]

justbeth let's see and hear all about your beautiful little girl!

[laurski81]

justbeth let me know if you would like to go tomorrow or Tuesday or Thursday of next week instead!

[justbeth]

Aww man! I'm just seeing this! Busy day. Can I go tomorrow?

[justbeth]

laurski81

[laurski81]

Yes of course!

[justbeth]

I'm the worst at this! Ok, here I go!

[justbeth]

Let's see...

She loves to dance, loves all things purple, loves school, helping cook and loves to be outside.

She hates going to bed, eating, getting dressed, getting out of the tub and waking up in the morning.

[justbeth]

We recently graduated into a big girl bed, she loves it (though still doesn't love bedtime) and had a blast 'helping' her daddy put it together.

[justbeth]

She loves to dress up.

And dress down...

[justbeth]

Most of the time she makes me laugh.

[laurski81]

Oh my gosh! She is adorable! I love her cooking outfit and she's so serious helping putting her bed together

She 'mustache' a million questions.

[mommymadness]

Ahh she sure is cute!! I love that picture of her laying on her bed and I love her bed spread too!

[justbeth]

I love how silly and adventurous she is...


But I still miss these days too...

[roo1582]

She's too cute!! She looks so happy on her new bed

[justbeth]

Ok, I gotta go wrestle this kid into bed! Any questions? I'll be back...

[roo1582]

What personality traits does she seem to have inherited from you? DH?

[xanthepants]

Her curls are to die for. I can tell you guys have a great sense of style, mom and daughter alike. How did PT go? Favorite foods? What melts your heart?

[cbear]

Omg she is seriously just the cutest and looks so happy!! What's the thing that surprises you the most about her?

[justbeth]

DH took over the bedtime wrestle for tonight! Woohoo!

So, roo1582, she definitely got my OCD tendencies! She is the only 2 year old I know who won't move on to another activity until cleaning up. She doesn't like to get dirty and she hates having anything on her hands. She obsessively hunts down a coaster before putting her cup down. The world might come to an end if she spills food on her clothes.

She got DH's musical side. She sings, plays music and listens to music all day long. She can pick out a song with just a few notes. She would win 'name that tune' every time. It amazes me because I have no musical talent.

[justbeth]

xanthepants, Thanks! I love her curls, but they are a hot mess most of the time.

She potty trained super easy. Like I mentioned before she's fairly OCD. The first time she peed in her pants and realized it was going to get all over her she stopped. That was it. She was potty trained- day and night. She's still never had a poop accident at all. I know we were extremely lucky with this!

Her favorite foods are mostly fruit, but she also has a big love for hummus, tomatoes and English peas.
The girl also loves ribs...

The thing that melts my heart is when I snuggle with her before bed. We just started this since getting her big girl bed. DH or I lay with her for 5 minutes. I sometimes stay longer because it's the sweetest part of my whole day. She will give me a million kisses, tell me how much she loves me, tell me I'm beautiful, ask questions, and just be so sweet and snuggly- she isn't like this any other time of the day. She is usually going going going. It's nice to have this sweet moment every day.

She is a pretty happy kid. I love how easy she is to make happy. The littlest things make her squeal with joy.

The thing that surprises me most about her is how friendly and outgoing she has gotten to be since turning two. Before she was always quiet and shy around others. DH and I are fairly quiet so she just seemed like us. Lately though her outgoing side has come out and I just love it. She will talk to anyone- in the store, at school, the playground. Anyone. I love this because I know this is her. She isn't learning this from DH or I. She is just truly this friendly little person who loves people.

She is just so cute. I love that picture of her eating the rib, and the squishy newborn picture

Emma was on my short list of girl names if I ever had a girl - how did you pick it?

[somethingcleverer]

I love her she is so adorable. What are her favorite activities right now?

[starfishy]

She is beautiful!! I loved waking up to see her happy face!

[traceyt07]

What a cutie! She seems like such a happy-go-lucky little girl. What are you most looking forward to experiencing with her as she grows?

[sarasansh]

She is so adorable! I love her curls!

[justbeth]

aimeefarrahfowler DH and I had committed to using the name Eloise Kathleen "Ella" for years while TTC. She was Ella up until around 30 weeks. It just hit me one night that she wasn't Ella. Our second girl name was Emma Louise and in the end we decided on that!

somethingcleverer
She loves to go to the playground, cook in her play kitchen, play soccer, and watch Little Einsteins.

I have no idea!! This is my favorite age, and the age I've always worked with, so I don't really know what to expect from here on! I look forward to shopping with her and going on girl dates like my grandmother and I used to do.

[justbeth]

Thanks for letting me share my girl and for all the sweet comments everyone!

[pinkluna]

How adorable is she on her new bed?! Love the bedding too!
