Jonny Age 2

My darling, stubborn, adorable, girly, rough-and-tumble, spitfire Jonny turned two.  She is a handful and is too cute for her own good.  She gets away with way too much because she's adorable and she knows it.  It's such a problem.  Mostly I just want to write down some things about her lately and post a million pictures.
The girl doesn't talk.  I mean, she does, but not much.  She's got a vocabulary of about 30-40 words (The doctor said she should have 50-100 by now) and a lot of them are people's names.  (Though she understands everything.)  She also doesn't use them if she doesn't want to.  And a lot of her talking is repeating what we asked her to say she doesn't volunteer her words much.  Her biggest two words are Eee-seee which means right here, or this one, or look, or sometimes other things, and Nnyea-nnyea which is just her stubborn word for when she doesn't want to say something we ask her to.  (Whether or not she knows how to say it.)  One of her favorite words to say is "Choo-choo-bus" which is what she calls both buses and trains.  I can always distract her just by saying choo-choo-bus and then she'll busy herself happily repeating it for the next 10 minutes.  

She calls all bugs bees and bee is also the word she uses for when her foot is asleep, which happens constantly as she refuses to sit on her bum instead of her knees.
Chick still hardly has any teeth.  She is missing all her canines.  So I'm pretty sure, like her brother, they'll never come in.  (He has his canines but is missing his top lateral incisors.)
She is obsessed with her grandpa.  Like, talks about my dad all day long and wants no one else when he's around.

She is super snuggly and when she's tired, she shoves her face into my face and would sleep with her face squished into mine if I let her.  If I don't let her sleep that way, then she sleeps with her blanket over her head.

She refers to herself as "me", calls me mommy (Atticus has always called me mama) and calls Atticus, Ya-Ya.  She says yes by opening and shutting her mouth a few times with no noise.  Like a fish.  
She knows some of her colors and loves yellow the best.  She loves all things Minnie Mouse (Mimi).  She does not care for the snow.  She will tell you that big girls use the potty and I plan on potty training her in the next couple of weeks.
She loves to sing and sings to herself all day and often as she is falling to sleep.  No words.  Just singing.  She also is a dancing machine.  She and Atticus love dancing and having dance parties.  She especially loves ballet.  She is the least graceful little ballerina there ever was.
She still adores Atticus and loves to copy him, although she has started to fight with him a bit both in a naughty way and just to be a turd.  She likes to pester him for fun like the other day when he worked really hard on a big puzzle and about a minute after he finished, she snuck over, stole a piece and ran off with it laughing.
She really loves horses right now.  She calls them neighs and she loves having neigh rides and giving others (us and her stuffed animals) neigh rides.

She has overcome her fear of bubble baths and loves them now.  She's also less scared of random things these days.  She calls scary things "Doo-doos".
I took her to her 2 year well check at our regular doctor in Logan as we were in Utah for Christmas just a few days after her birthday.  She's 33 inches tall and weighing in at 23 pounds.  Which is right around the 20th percentile for both.  She's just a little thing.

She loves that dumb cat, Mow, and tries to drag him everywhere.

 My orphan child

 She loved swimming this summer.  She'd paddle around while I held her and even let me dunk her under.

 This was one of my favorite days of all last summer.  Hanging out at the river and she just sat right down in it. 

 Gangsta's Paradise

 She's got a bit of a personality if you can't tell from the next few pictures...

And yes, her hair sticks straight up like that with just a little water.

 She picked out her own outfit.

She loved the boat this summer.  I swear.

 She was not a fan of the silly string.

Catching dust, a favorite passtime.

Just staying hydrated. 

Her namesakes, my mom and grandmother.

Little stink.

 They adore each other.

She loves animals and has no fear.

 Papa Jon

 She went through a phase (for months) where she would only fall asleep if I rocked her until she was out.

 This ham of a child.  The second she sees my camera out.

 She took her first airplane trip.  A red-eye with just me and she rocked it.

 Asking me to say cheese for her picture.

 How she prefers to ride in the cart.

 This one needs a demon child caption.

Snaggle tooth.

Just panicking with happiness over a stuffed spider.  Totally normal.
