Dear Sarah

You have reached a milestone today... you are exactly two and a half years old.  I am so excited to see what the second half of this next year brings us.  Here are things about you that we love and make you who you are:

• You do not sleep through the night (this isn't a good thing)
• You are still nursing.  I love the connection you and I have this way.
• Your vocabulary is increasing and you try to repeat us as best you can.  My favorite words are: Joshie, 'Nana (Arianna), cupie, downie, movie, all donie, bah-bee (baby- think Martin Short from Father of the Bride), need you mom, daddy, mine, Mama (grandma)... Everything you say ends in *ie* sounds.
• Your favorite foods are cold cereal like cheerios or rice crispies, Ritz Crackers, cheese in any form, sandwiches with peanut butter, bananas, yogurt and oatmeal.  Notice the lack of veggies and meat in that list?
• Your face lights up anytime one of your siblings walks into the room.
• Bolt is your favorite movie... especially on Daddy's iPhone while sitting on his lap.
• You look for trouble and get into EVERYTHING.
• You are the sunshine that greets me in the morning.
• You hate your carseat {still}.
•  Everything is yours in your opinion.
• You love to help bake with me.
• You have not been blessed with much hair yet, much to my dismay.
• You are not potty trained.
• You are pretty much the center of attention in this home.
• You are still really small.  About 22.5 pounds.

I love you sweet girl.  Happy 2.5 years!
