The Face of Two

When you are two, you (apparently) don’t need to hold hands when walking on the sidewalk.

Happy Birthday, Baby Dear. You’re making too much noise for me to write a more lengthy post.

PS Meeow is now naked and Big Kitty is wearing her Hello Kitty underwear. Ellie was very specific about the two Es in Meeow’s name.

    I’d hesitate a guess that you were fiercely independent when you were two, too, Emily. Maybe.

    Happy birthday, Ellie!

    Happy Birthday Ellie!
    I can’t believe it has been two years already- I remember the posts you wrote while still pregnant. She is lovely and so is Meeow.

    Happy Birthday Ellie! You are looking so grown up! Meeow with 2 e’s is a great name.

    What a beautiful child! She just has it all- smart, pretty, healthy- what more could you ask for? Lucky,lucky you.

    Miss Ellie is soooo cute! That “independence” will serve her well later…but it may not be so fun 10-16 years from now. :) :) :)

    What time flies! I remember like it was yesterday when you announced the happy event and it’s been 2 years already… So cute, she’s already a big girl!

    Mine is only 21 months and unless I insist (like in a parking lot) wants to walk without holding hands. So independent – it’s so great to watch, yet so heartbreaking. Happy birthday, Ellie!

    Happy Birthday to Ellie! I love Meeow with two e’s that was a great idea.

  14. Ruth Says:

    She is so cute! Mine won’t hold hands on the side walk any more either.

    Em, I can’t believe that your baby is two! She is such a big girl to be out on her own!
