2 Already!

they've really become little people with their own personalities. every age is something new, and we love and embrace it all. babies are cute, but toddlers are fun!

Vienna is sensitive, but more adventurous and social. Most times, she'll loudly announce herself to anyone 'HI!' She's also demanding and very one-track minded. 'Share low-el' translates to 'give me laurel'. and re-direction almost NEVER works. she wants THAT toy, never mind it's the same toy but just different color. we've start lettin her know, some items belong to laurel exclusively, and she doesnt have to share- such is life.

Laurel isnt as social. she's more or less indifferent around other kids, until they get tiresome, esp if they're in HER house, playing with HER toys. but she's very easy-going, really from the day she was born. nothing really upsets her and she takes it all as a game. which can be frustrating when a stern 'NO' is met with a giggle. but overall, momma can only be grateful she has one easy kid. laurel's still a cuddler tho, so she'll have whiny moments where she just wants to be held. (eric and i think she's gonna be a homebody and be the kid we'll have to marry off :-)

Unfortunately, as they play together more, the fighting has begun full force-- slapping, hair pulling, kicking, blocking, pushing--- where do they learn all this?! we want them to use words (NO, STOP), not just w/each other but in every situation where they need to defend themselves. life with 2 two-year olds---wish us well :-0

Lastly, here are some pics fm their bday party. The theme was elmo goes safari--who btw, they barely acknowledge now they have jojo circus and wonder pets. The reptiles alive show was great, it was very interactive with lots of one-finger touching- so cute! the girls even came up and sat with a snake! how's that for a party highlight.
