Seems like birthdays always give us pause to think about how much our kids have grown and changed. I thought it might be fun to write a page about each kid during their birthday month (works well since they all have different months). Didn't think of this idea until after September so Maisie's is a little belated.
Mary Isabelle, or as most of you know her, turned two this year. However, we had a bit of time convincing her of this. She was pretty convinced she was 5 or 3, so much to the point that I nearly bought her a 3 birthday candle.....then I remember she was only turning 2.
Its easy to think of her older because she jumps right in to what her big sisters are doing! This past year she quickly went from walking to running. I'm amazed at all she will try. When we went on a little getaway this spring she wanted to jump the lily pads in the pool just like her sisters, she climbs up our rock wall, and she'll jump off just about anything too. She doesn't miss a thing.
She is also super verbal. I would even say more verbal than Georgie was....Matt disagrees, could be I was in more of a fog with two kids under two at the time. Nonetheless, she has exploded with words over the past year. She is usually easy to understand and tends to have good comedic timing....most of the time!
She also lost a tooth this year. Poor girl fell down (running to keep up with her sisters) and chipped a tooth. The tooth then split from the bottom to top so the dentist recommended it be pulled. My own vanity was a bit sad to see her cute little smile go. Now the smile is a great part her personality!
Her hair is curly, curly and wild. She is our only brown-eyed girl! She has a pure awnry streak that is hard not to laugh at a lot of times, quite maddening other times.
Every night she wants mom to rock her, even though its only for a few rocks before she says "Night mom" through her passy.....but it is a special time for us both!
