Misty is 2!!



Our little Misty Mae is 2 now. We had family over for a little party. It's so nice for her to know how much she is loved. We appreciate everyone who came.

I have to say that she has been my most challenging child so far.
She is such a busy body. I can't leave anything on the table or counter or else she will get into it, eat it, make a mess with it, or all of the above. I guess that is normal for little ones. Wyatt was never that way, which has made toddler-hood a whole different adventure for us with her. She is, although, very bright and a fast learner, so she must be learning a lot through all of her discovering and mischief.

She loves to pour water. If I leave a partially full cup of water on the counter, she will find an empty something (cup, bowl) and pour them back and forth to each other. While very cute, this makes quite a mess. Over time, she has learned where the towels are to clean up her mess, and mom has learned not leave cups of water on the table. That doesn't stop her though. I've caught her drinking milk from her sippy cup, and spitting it into a cup so she could have liquid to pour. She has also fetched water out of the toilet. After that, I decided that it wasn't so bad to let her explore with regular drinking water.

She knows quite a few letters by sight, and a couple of sounds. She learns songs really fast, and always wants me to sing to her. Each of our kids have a song that their daddy has kind of named to each of them, and she loves to hear Misty's song which is "Zoe Jane" by Staind. We substitute "Misty Mae" for Zoe Jane. She loves kittys and playing outside and their pool outside (go figure). As a baby she was always skinny, and she still is, but has filled out some, and still eats just as much as her big brother. She gives the best hugs, and LOVES to play with her baby brother. She makes my days interesting with some of her dramatic fits, but I think that is the package deal when you are given a girl. I love my little princess so much! Happy Birthday!

Side note: I'm not sure what has happened to my blog background. It was just gone one day. I've tried to fix it a few times, but I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Any pointers to help me so I won't have to create anew blog would be appreciated. Thanks!

Happy Birthday Misty! She is such a cutie, I can't believe she is 2 Your background code expired. You just have to go put in a new background.

I tried that. When I would try to change it before, it wouldn't let me.

Misty sounds like she keeps you very busy, so is so sweet too. As Brooke gets closer to 2, it's amazing to me all the things they learn and do. I am not sure about the background. Have you tried deleting the old background code first and then trying to put a new one on? Also, sometimes blogger just has issues. I find that if I give it a few days and try it again sometimes whatever I am trying to do will finally work.

I'm so glad to hear that I am not the only one with a daughter who is dramatic and like to get into everything! (Yes, liquids are also one of her favorites)Happy birthday Misty!

I remember when I heard you had Misty and now she is two??? Time flies.

Also blogger made changes and depending on where you got your background you may need to get an updated code for it to work with blogger. I hope that helps.
