2 Year Update!

Wow! We have a two year old ... and an awesome two year old at that! Since she just had her 2 year check-up, this is the perfect time for her yearly update including Avery's favorite things!

Weight - 26 lbs. 7 oz.
Height - 35.25 inches (.75 of an inch shy of a YARDSTICK! Dr. has predicted 5'9" for her adult height ... guess we'll find out in 16 years!)
Wears 2T shirts/dresses, 18-24 pants, size 6 shoes
Wears size 5 diapers, but we have slowly started potty training - will pee on her potty every night before bed
Too many teeth to count! (just looked back and she only had 2 teeth on her 1st birthday - those gums had a very busy year!)

*Knows all body parts
*Recites ABCs & can count to 15
*Knows 100+ words and is forming sentences (i.e- went from saying "Mommy shower" to "Mommy take a shower")
*Repeats & copies EVERYTHING (favorite words learned from mommy - "O.M.G." & "Meiko naughty, go potty in the house!")

LOVES...
*buttons (I have never seen someone so obsessed with buttons - any size, any color!)
*the movie Meet Me in St. Louis & can sing the entire soundtrack
*cartoons (especially Jake & the Neverland Pirates, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Princess Sophia, Doc McStuffins, Gaspard & Lisa, JoJo's Circus)
*having her nails painted pink
*jewelry (especially mommy's!), purses, shoes, dresses
*picking out her own clothes in the morning (and does a pretty good job!)
*babies (real & fake!) the girl is more maternal than her mommy - we hope to get her a real baby soon! :)
*going 'buh-bye' in mommy's car & sitting in her car seat
*snacks (favorites- fruit snacks, apple sauce, string cheese, cookies, pretzels, chocolate, ice cream, pickles, tomatoes, grapes)
*favorite meal - noodles
*brushing her teeth
*putting on chapstick
*foxxie & meiko, grandma & grandpa lucas
*balloons & balls
*her kitchen set
*blankets
*playing games on iphones/ipad

*princesses

LOVES ME NOT...
*hates being dirty or having stuff on her hands/face
*fights nap time & bedtime
*getting things taken away from her (meltdown central!)
*being told 'No'
