2 Years

• Height: 34 3/4 inches (75th percentile) 
• Weight: 25 lbs 3oz  (31st percentile)
• Head Circumference:  47 1/2 cm (53rd percentile)
• Nicknames: Peanut, E, Boo Bear, Little Person

• Ethnie now has almost all of her teeth. Her upper canines are slowly coming in but no sign of her two year molars yet.   
•  Some of E's favorite foods include: grapes (any fruit really), eggs, yogurt, JELLO, fruit snacks, french fries and jellybeans.
•  Her favorite toys include: Elmo, Ellie the Elephant, Rubber Duckie, Lamb & Silky

• Ethnie is still crazy busy. She loves to move, jump, dance, bounce, act like a "FUUURRROOOOOG!" (frog), have us swing her around in a blanket, wrestle, play with play dough and stickers, search through the fridge, play hide and seek and give lots of hugs and kisses. If her feet are on the floor she is moving. She really only stops to watch Elmo.... lots of Elmo, Nemo, Rio & Baby Einstein Neighborhood Animals.
• Some of her favorite activities include, organizing, playing with Duke, being outside in the water, going to the park to swing, dancing, visiting Pa's house, cooking & playing with our phones.
•  E's hair is still blonde. She really doesn't look anything like either of us but she looks almost identical to a picture of Mom Tobler when she was three. The resemblance is amazing.

• She loves anything that has a power button. She can operate all of our phones, the tablet & Dad's iPad. She also knows how to work the T.V. and thinks that all screens are touch screens.  
• Ethnie loves to try new things like play dough. She's gets really excited when we have a new activity for just us. Our alone time while Duke naps is very important to her.
• Ethnie loves the fridge and pantry. She really enjoys exploring and moving things around. 
• Ethnie is really good at puzzles! She loves her ABC puzzle and all of her wooden puzzles. It amazes me how fast she can put them together. 

(Because this is what most pictures look like with a two year old.) :)

• E loves to sing the ABC song. She recognizes almost all of the alphabet and can say most of the letters. It is so cute when she sees a letter while we shop and she points it out excitedly. 
• She also knows some of her numbers. She was telling me that she is "T-wo" and held up her two fingers crossed together. I love seeing her learn and grow. It is so fun!
• Peanut also like to sing Head, Shoulders Knees and Toes, the Ittys Bittys Spider and play this little piggy. Her jam is the Elmo Slide. She busts a move whenever that comes on.

• Ethnie loves to climb!!! She really likes to sit up at the table like a big girl. It's so fun seeing her push her chair over so she can get a better look at what's going on.
• She is the sweetest big sister. She loves to wrestle with Duke and Duke just adores her. I love watching them bond and play together. If Duke is crying she will go and give him kisses to make him feel better or hand him a toy. She is learning to share which is hard for her but she's doing a really great job!

• She loves to get dressed and undressed all by herself. Sometimes we will go through two or three outfits in a day. She likes to pick out her own accessories much to Mom's dismay which usually do not match. She really isn't fond of having her hair styled... breaks my heart but she will rock a hair bow or massive flower like no body's business. 
• Ethnie has moved to one nap! We are trying to get a schedule set & coordinated with Duke. For the most part she is up by 7:00 - 7:30. She goes down for her nap at 2:30- 5:00/5:30 and then she's in bed by 8:30. We are removing the bottle from her nightly routine but it's really me who wants her to atke it and not so much her. She still takes a soother but only at nap and ed time. I think we will be phasing that out soon as well.

• E is still pretty fond of reading but not like she used to be. I'm sure she'll be into it again shortly since we are replacing her bottle for reading time.  
• Ethnie LOVES nursury! She races down the hall and jumps into Sister Camps arms. It really warms my heart to see how excited she gets to be there and how sad she gets when it's time to go home. 
• She has become a bit clingy and cries when we leave her with a sitter. She's fine after a minute but it's both cute and sad to see those crocodile tears as we go.  

I really can not believe we have a two year old. Where has the time gone. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, kind, funny or loving daughter.  We love you Peanut!
