Happy Birthday, my "big" little munchkin Boo

Doesn't seem possible that Bailey turns two today! Where did these two years ago?  I am a proud mama of this amazing child, who is super sweet, smart, funny, loving, and just awesome. Here are a few of our latest stats:
Weight: 34lb
Height:
Sleep: 8:00pm-7:00am & 1:00-3:00pm nap
Favorite Food: beans, cheese, cottage cheese, bread, bagels
Favorite Cartoon: Max & Ruby (Daddy and I liked it better when it was Dora and Boots)
Favorite Activities: drawing, dancing, listening to music, singing, playing piano, building blocks & reading books. She loves to play outside and get dirty. Now with colder and shorter days (and having a little brother) it's a bit more difficult to get out. Bailey also enjoys playing with Bo - unfortunately he doesn't like it nearly as much as she does. For some reason he doesn't find it enjoyable when she pulls his tail or ears, or when she squeals next to him, or when she tries to decorate him with her toys like a Christmas tree...silly Bo!
Absolute favorite activity - boss around her subordinates (Ivan and Bo).  
Favorite Music: we like to listen and sing pretty much everything. ABCs, Row Your Boat, Wheels on the Bus, Bailey Had a Little Lamb, If You Happy and You Know It, Down By The Bay, Old McDonald, Hot Dog, Itsy Bitsy Spider - these are on top of our list. We also like the following Russian songs: Жили у Бабуси, Дед Андрей, Коза Рогатая. On Fridays we have a music class, which Bailey enjoys very much. She gets to sing, play musical instruments and dance with a few of her little friends - very cute to watch :)
What Bailey Knows:
  • English Alphabet 
  • Counting from 1 to 10 in English and Russian
  • Colors in English and Russian
Favorite Phrases:
  • Here you go, dad (mom)!
  • What's that noise?
  • Where did dad (mom) go?
  • Ready, Set, Go!
  • Good to go!
  • Бобик, ты где? - which means "Bo, where are you?"

Bailey Boo, we look forward to many more things you will learn and discover, and to many more ways you will make your daddy and me proud. We love you very much!
