Taija is 2!

My baby is officially TWO! I can't believe how fast the time has FLOWN by! I remember two years ago walking in to the hospital for my planned C-Section...not knowing what I was getting myself in to! Motherhood has truly been a blessing albeit a challenge. I can't imagine life without this beautiful, active, messy, drive-me-crazy girl!

Some of the fun things Taija is doing at the age of 2
- she LOVES to sing! Her favorite songs being the bus song, spider, happy song, temples, book of mormon stories and of course E-I-E-I-O
- Taija loves making animal sounds and learning new ones. The newest of which are penguins, seals, and snakes
- The other day we were able to feed the giraffes at the zoo so she is now obsessed! She has a stuffed animal named Jeffrey the Giraffe she doesn't go anywhere without!
- Taija LOVES to read her books and look at pics of Jesus. Each night we read the Book of Mormon and the only way to get her to put it away is to tell her ONE more pic of Jesus!
- She loves to call people on her computer (Webcam) and is always begging to talk to Ari, Unc, Kate, Nana, Grandpa, Pa, Grandma and whoever else she can think of!
- Taija is VERY ACTIVE! She loves to RUN, jump, bounce, climb or otherswise WIGGLE!
- Taija gives the BEST hugs, but you have to catch them at just the right time cuz she doesn't always give them out freely! Daddy is the best at conning them out of her!
- She is a TALKING machine...loves learning any new word and will repeat it for the next few hours so make sure it's a word you want to hear OVER and OVER again!
- In the car she gets mad at Mommy when I yell at other drivers or honk the horn...she says 'Mommy' and gives me a stern look! It's the cutest thing ever!

I could go on and on, but will spare you all the details and post a few pics from the past 2 years!
