Darla's Second Birthday

Wow, where has the time gone??? Our little baby has turned 2! She's been so much fun to get to know and in this mama's opinion, these last 6 months have been the best so far. Darla is talking up a storm! She says three and four syllable words and speaks in full sentences most of the time. We are still working on getting her to use her words when talking about feelings. I know that's difficult for two year olds. She is a playful little girl who laughs a lot and loves to be or say things that are funny. She's a girly-girl...loves shoes and clothes, already. This year, her birthday was filled with doll clothes and strawberry shortcake. I love it when she says, Strawberry Shortcake. She can't quite say it all, so she calls her "Strawberry Cake." So cute! It is alot of fun to watch her play with her dolls, dressing them and undressing them in their new clothes. She LOVES cheese, bananas, and anything sweet. We are starting to work on potty training, but most of the time, she just sits and sits and sits. She loves to run and follows Derick around with big eyes. She watches and learns alot from him. YIKES! Darla just recently learned how to jump with both feet leaving the ground at once. It's so much fun to watch that sparkle in her eyes when she's excited and learning something new. She still sleeps with blankey and has been exploring her stuffed animals more lately. So far, there isn't one that she prefers yet.

Here are a few pictures from her birthday events.
