One? Three? TWO!

Here she is...our incredible two year old Millie:

We are in a birthday celebration marathon and having the best time. My WHOLE family is out with us. Yammy and Poppa are here from Maryland and the Uncles are in from Colorado. We even got to celebrate with Gamma and Gampa Greer via the webcam on Skype! Here are a few photos from Saturday (her actual birthday):

Checking out her new bike

With Julie and Mike at the neighborhood Halloween parade

Serving up cookies and sandwiches (aka hamburgers and hotdogs) at her new kitchen

Two funny things about this picture: it's pitch black outside and she's still playing, and check out all her new animals that she has lined up at the bar!

So it occurred to me that we should be practicing the answers to the two key questions she's been getting from strangers:

1) What is your name? Answer: "Mee-eee" (if you say it out loud it does kind of sound like Millie);

2) How old are you? Answer: One? (nooo...you're not one); Three? (nooo...you're not three); Two! (yes...you're two!). I think she knows the correct answer and she's just messing with us at this point.

It has never been more fun to be a mom. Millie is so funny and happy...I love watching her dance around the room to the Sesame Street theme song or the iPod commercials; I love that when she wakes up and remembers that her house is filled with extra family members she runs out to my sleeping brothers and screams "UNCLES" really loudly in their faces; I love that she is giving real kisses and extra tight hugs...not just to us, but to her friends at the park, their parents, our friends at church...; I love all the hilarious things she is picking up from listening to our conversations ("Oh goodness!"; "It's so exciting!"; "I hook you up" (with more drink, a new diaper, etc.); "Love you baby/honey/babe."); and I absolutely love how much she adores and protects Simon. It all just keeps getting better and better.
