I'm still coming to grips that today is Savannah and Sophia's 2nd birthday. It really feels like just yesterday we were headed home from the hospital with "the babies" and starting off on this adventure of a family of 5.
The last two years have been filled with so much fun and adventure! And in the last few months, I feel like their little personalities are blossoming and both of them are so unique in their own little way. It's amazing how much they absorb (and repeat!). They can say more words than I can even count, they can (try and) sing along to about 10+ songs, they are learning how to count to 10 and learning their ABC's. Both Sophia & Savannah love playing outside, using their imagination and playing "pretend" in their play kitchen and doll house, reading books and doing puzzles! Savannah is pretty much a pro at the squishy puzzles we have. I'm impressed with how quickly she can put all the pieces back (even if it's a new puzzle, she can do it almost all on her own!).
Another one of their favorite things is driving in their Frozen jeep! Jayden usually drives, but recently Sophia has been taking the wheel and I can't believe how well she's able to navigate. At first, we thought she was just going around in circles, but lately she's been able to drive all over the backyard! If this is any indication what she's going to be like when she turns 16, we will have our hands full!
Their 2 year check up is on Friday, so I'm anxious to find out how they are doing on the growth chart. I still think Savannah is slightly taller and weighs slightly more than Sophia.
Right now their favorite thing to do is sing happy birthday and say "it's my happy birthday". Pretty sure Sophia has been saying that since Jayden's birthday last month! Hope she's not disappointed when she learns your birthday is only 1 day out of the year! :)
To celebrate their birthday this year, we did a really low key family dinner and of course brought out the beloved bounce house! Which is their favorite thing to do! They could jump in there every day and not get tired of it! For a while, they would wake up and the first thing they would say when we walked into their room was "bounce house"!
Today they had a fun celebration with all their
friends at their daycare. They decorated with Frozen balloons and birthday decor (which they LOVED!) and I brought in left over strawberry cupcakes from their dinner over the weekend! They were a hit!
I picked them up early to spend the afternoon with them and that night
we went to Islands for dinner! We were planning on going to
Chuck-E-Cheese, but decided they probably wouldn't fully enjoy the games
since it's more of a mini Dave & Busters with arcade games. The best part about eating at Islands, besides the delicious food, is that the booths are huge and perfect for the girls to spread out and color!
Playtime in mommy and daddy's room before bedtime. One of their favorite songs is 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed and tonight we had 3 little monkeys jumping in our bed! :)
One of the best things about being a mommy is seeing the world through the eyes of your children...and it could not be more fun with these girls God has blessed us with!
Two years ago today...
