Heidi's May

Miss Heidi had a fun filled May. It is her birthday month after all.
She has grown so much, it's fun to look back a year (and my how that year flew by) to see the differences.


This is her new bike and helmet we got her for her 2nd birthday. We couldn't wait until her birthday on the 13th to give it to her. She loves it and rides it almost everyday. It's a strider bike that is designed to help her learn balance by walking at first then running into a sit and glide. Once she does and gets a little bit older, she can go straight to a big girl bike without training wheels.

She has quite the vocabulary now and is so smart. Her most common phrases are: "what doing mommy/daddy?" "Hannah crying" "Go to park/beach" "Daddy bike" "No Zoey, off!" "The moon up in the sky" "Heidi's house"

She's a great imitator, she's already a pro at pretending (ie: talking on the phone, being a mommy, cooking, etc..) and repeats almost everything she hears (so mommy and daddy have to be careful)!!

She can count up to 20, her teens tend to be smooshed together as one big somethingteen, but once she hits 20 it's "yeah!! *clap hands* yeah!!"
She knows most of her letters, shapes, colors and body parts.
She loves to sing and dance and just loves to read. Her current favorite is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

Since turning 2 she has heavily discovered her nose and loves to pick it. She has also found a new way to express herself by hitting and kicking. She also has one heck of an arm when it comes to throwing things. Watch out Hannah!!

We have taken a break from potty training. She is still very interested but was refusing when we would take her, and we didn't want it to be negative experience. So we will revisit this again here in the next month or so when *she's* ready!

We threw her a Dr. Seuss themed birthday party. She had a lot of fun with her friends and family. Her and Hannah were dressed as Thing 1 and Thing 2.


MMMM....raspberry filled cake!




Sitting at the little table with Wyatt, Laynie and Cody.

Trying out and loving Cody's tricycle.

At the end of the month, we took a mini vacation with my family up in Cohasset, MN on Big Bass Lake at a resort called Hidden Haven. This is our second year up there. We really have a blast and they kids love the time they share together.
Heidi was a good girl, but did not understand the rules behind sleep overs. We tried to have all the kids (minus Hannah) in the same room for sleeping. Yeah, she's still too little. She would get out of bed and wander, which made the others think they could do the same. Maybe next year!


Feather boa to go with her tutu.


Blowing out the candle on their brownie cupcakes!


Little Mermaid kick board from Mama and Papa.


Going kayaking. She really loved riding in this. I would pull her along the shoreline. She didn't even mind going far from shore for a little ride.


Playing air hockey with Wyatt.

She recently had her 2 year check up and did pretty well. Only one shot, which she was a trooper for. Now her vision test, that's another story. She wanted nothing to do with the sticker probes they wanted to put on her head.
Current stats:
Height- 36.5 inches
Weight- 34#
According to the height predictor, she will be 5'11" when she is 18 years old!!
