Mary Elise- I can't believe you are 2! You're getting so big, doing so many fun things, saying so many things. You're are my little monkey. You can climb on anything and everything, but you are pretty good about climbing on things you are allowed to. You are definitely interested in people now, big kids in particular. You love all your cousins and just try to do the things that they can do. I'm always worried you'll get hurt, but most of the times you don't.
You understand everything we say and I think you can say anything. I estimated that you knew over 1000 words but that seemed like a lot. So we started asking you to name things in the room and you know everything! A lot of times at dinner when Dada and I are talking you say, "no mama talk dada, talk to you." Your pronouns are mixed up so you really mean 'talk to me.' You pretty much ask everyday "maybe Uncle John come to dinner." If it's not Uncle John then it's Grandma, Brandon, Uncle Dave... Lately you say, "Dada stay home play all day." Dada had to go back to work after being home all summer so you miss him indeed.
I have a ton of pictures from this summer, but I bet you wake up soon, so I'm just going to post the ones of your birthday.
We gave you a dollhouse for your birthday, you love it. You could play with it all day.

We also went to one of those indoor playgrounds the day before you birthday with dada. It had tunnels and slides- like McDonald's but much bigger. You'd like to live there, I think. On your actually birthday we went to the splash pad,
got ice cream
and had 2 candles in a slice of cheesecake
Happy Birthday big girl!
Love,
Mama
