2!

Meredith turned 2 on September 2! I didn't even realize it was her golden birthday. I can't believe she's 2 already - she has turned into such a big girl now. She is very independent and likes to do things on her own. She always says "Mimi do". She is quite a chatterbox and a smart little girl too. Her birthday was on a Wednesday so we took cupcakes for the toddlers at daycare. Then we went to Chipotle for dinner and Build-A-Bear. Don't take a 2-year-old to Build-A-Bear. She kept grabbing animals and wouldn't pick just one. Then when it came time to stuff it, she had a fit because she didn't want to let go of it. She cried almost the whole time we were in there. Hopefully she had fun though - things were better once we left the store. She ended up getting a pink bear and a kitty cat (it even has a button inside that meows!). She loves the cat - I hear random meows coming from the monitor at night every now and then. I heard one last night even.

We had her annual check-up last week too. She is 34.5 inches tall and weighs 26.8 pounds.

Stay tuned - I'll post pictures of her Elmo party soon.
