Autumn turns 2!!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled cruise blogs to bring you this breaking news...I have a two year old!!


And she is a walking, talking, smiling, laughing little cutie pie!  She lights up our life every day and we are so blessed to have her as our daughter.  She is such a little toddler now and her personality is really starting to shine through.  Some of my favorite things she is doing are...

She says "Merci" all the time!  She's starting to use sentences now and has a huge vocabulary growing bigger everyday (today she added mustache to the repertoire :o)  I think her favorite sentence is "I don't like it"...ha!  Usually it's referring to food she tries.  She is such a sweetheart and will even share her favorite snack with you if you ask for some.  She sings all the time...her favorites seem to be the end of the "ABC's" and of course her French songs like "Bonjour"... complete with hand motions!  She makes the silliest faces...the best is her mad look where she glares up at you from under her eyelids.


She loves to wear Mommy's shoes...especially my big huge "ugg" style boots.  Peanut butter is her favorite food (at least for this week)...when she asks for it she just says "butter".  She really knows that "please" is the magic word and uses it to her advantage a LOT.  She can count to ten all by herself.  She loves to wear her rain boots (which is probably a good thing here in lovely Brussels) because she can put them on all by herself...the best is watching her take them off...she braces against the furniture and shakes her foot till it falls off.  She LOVES Elmo and asks to watch him all the time.  She loves to cuddle and give hugs and kisses.

She also LOVES doggies so that ended up being the theme for her birthday party yesterday!!  I had a blast finding ideas on pinterest...and luckily my parents were here to help us carry them all out :o)  It was so much fun having all Autumn's friends over to help her celebrate.  It was a great day and a wonderful way to end my parents stay here in Brussels.

Here are some pictures from the party and from our two year photo shoot at our favorite Abbey.










(this was the best shot I got of her adorable doggy shirt from Etsy)










I love you Autumn and I can't wait to spend many more years watching you grow into a wonderful young lady!
