Sarah's 2 year photos!

 My baby girl is 2!  She is such a sweet delightful little girl and we are so blessed to be her family!

At 2 years old, Sarah:
- Talks like crazy!  She is chattering on all day long and talking in long complex sentences.  She has no difficulty communicating what she wants and I think it helps reduce the typical toddler tantrums since she doesn't have to get frustrated when we don't understand her.  We still have to get Austin to help translate now and then...he speaks very fluent Sarah.
- Is well beyond normal 2 year old developmental milestones - and size measurements.
- Weight 30 pounds 8 ounces, which is 88th percentile.
- Height 38.7 inches, which is the 99th percentile (WELL above the growth curve and taller than an average 3 year old!).
- Head circumference 19.5 cm, which is 93rd percentile and still representing with the Cronk sized head.
- Is a healthy healthy girl!  Passed her check up with flying colors.
- Can identify purple and pink consistently, and is getting pretty good with yellow and orange, and sometimes blue.
- Loves to do puzzles, even ones that are for older kids (and does a pretty good job with them, too!)
- Loves stories and reading.  Will tell stories and sing songs on her own.
- Sings the "Winnie the Pooh" song, "You Are My Sunshine," "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," "ABCs", and even the "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" Song from Sesame Street (Not the ABCs, the one Big Bird sang back in the 70s.  Nanny's a pro at this one!).
- Has given up her morning nap and takes a good afternoon nap.
- Loves to brush her teeth and wants to do it all by herself.
- Is a great eater! (as you can probably tell from her growth stats).
- Has a shellfish allergy - no more shrimp or crab legs in this house!  Even a small bit get into her and the poor girl throws up for hours.  My poor girl!
- Starting to drink from a "big girl cup" instead of a sippy cup and is very proud of herself for it.
- Loves chocolate milk and begs for it on a regular basis.
- Is growing up so fast, I can't believe it!

We had some great photos taken the weekend before her birthday.  We met Tracie and she did a fabulous job.  We're excited for her to take photos of our family again in the future.  I tried to choose favorites, but basically, I'm posting almost all the photos we got on disk today.  There were so many great ones and I love them each for different reasons.  Check out the cuteness!
