Katelyn turns 2!

Our spicy, sweet, friendly, outgoing, life of the party, comical, brave, adventurous, independent firecracker turned two! Her favorite's these days are bunnies and pink so this was a fitting theme. We are so thankful God brought Kate into our lives. She fills our house with so much joy and laughter. There isn't a day that goes by that we burst into laughter with her silly sayings and mannerisms. She adores her older brother and mimics all that he does. In fact, she is certain the color 'blue' is not 'blue' but 'wuke' because she knows that is his favorite color. She's our girly yet doesn't mind get dirty and playing rough girl. She loves to twirl and wear dresses but can also play super heroes and legos with Luke. She is confident and strong. Our prayer is these amazing attributes she exemplifies now, will carry through to the rest of her life. We pray that she understands the Lord created her uniquely and individually set her apart, that she won't be swayed by her peers. She is beautiful inside and out. We are overjoyed. 

We had such a fun time celebrating you. You LOVED your birthday party and loved when everyone sang you happy birthday. You were so good at making everyone feel welcomed too. You loved your marshmallow craft {you kept eating the marshmallow's} and pin the tail on the bunny. You were a pro at opening presents and it looked like you might have enjoyed reading the cards just as much as the presents.

Some things we love about you:

• You dress yourself. You even put your shoes on by yourself
• You like to change diapers. Whether it's Caleb's diaper or your stuffed animals.
• You like to be bossy. Luke was in time out and you went to him and said, "Wuke, you need to say sorry, you need to look me in the eyes and say sorry"
• You had an imaginary friend for a while. He was a lion and you used to always say at meal times that, "The lion bite my toes"
• You are messy messy. You love to paint yourself with sauces and food. When we play outside you quickly find the dirt and rub it all over your arms and legs. This drives me just a little bit crazy:)
• When you think someone is not being nice you yell, "not nice!"
• You are very independent and even buckle yourself in your seat
• You communicate very well for a 2 year old. You've even memorized bible verses and Psalm 23 with Luke
• You still like to sleep with your blanket and put it in your mouth.
• You have your favorite stuffed animals and you switch out which ones you want to sleep with at night.
• You and your brother share a room as of when you were 19 months. You aren't so good at staying in your bed at night. You like to cause a little trouble at bed time i.e. playing with the pictures above your bed, running to Luke's bed, playing behind the curtains and bringing toys into your bed. You make us laugh when we catch you in the act. You are so cute when you're in trouble. It makes it very hard to discipline.
