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.
Hannah as Thing 2 with Auntie Suzie.
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!!

updates
*We are still in the throws of potty training. So far we have had at least 3 pee pees in the potty, 1 1/2 poopies and some toot toots. She's getting the hang of it. Sometimes she's just fine with the whole routine and other times she doesn't want to be disturbed to go potty. (I know she will hate me when she's older for this photo)
*She is in love with bikes. Her and daddy have gone on a bike ride to the park (her other love) when the weather has been nice. She yells out "BIKE" every time she sees one.
*She is doing really well with counting and her ABCs. On occasion, I have heard her count up to eleven. Also, I have heard her say the alphabet, not always in the correct order. She will say for instance, LMNOP..... HIJK.....XYZ.
*This is first time with pig tails compliments of Auntie Suzie. As you can see, she still loves bananas.
*We've been utilizing time outs now. Her time out spot is on the steps. She sits there until she has calmed down or for about a minute. I would like to think she understands why she's there. I know she's not fond of sitting still.
*At Easter, she got to jump on a trampoline for the 1st time. She loved it!! It is Jason and Suzie's next door neighbor's trampoline. First it was "little kids" turn, then it was the "big kids" turn. After awhile, they all got in and jumped together.
Easter Time
Heidi had such a wonderful time at Easter.
She prepared for the big egg hunt a few days ahead of time. I wanted to make sure she knew what was going on and what to look for. She did a great job. We had about 9 egg hunts that day.
Eating Easter brunch with Laynie, Wyatt, McKenna and Ava. You can see she is slowly trying to steal Ava's juice pouch. She's so sneaky!
All lined up and ready to be released into the back yard to get eggs. Here they were yelling out, "EASTER!!".
"EGG!"
"Mmmmm, what's this? Jelly beans?"
"Weeeee!" Sliding down the slide with Daddy!
Coloring Easter eggs. She was so precise on her coloring. She even put all the coloring sticks back in their box, one by one.
