Tess turns 2

On Saturday March 21 Tess turned 2. Most of Nat's family was able to attend and Tess' aunt CC (Lisa) uncle Giff (Grif) and cousins Rhett, Lauren and Morgan made the trip from Syracuse to be at Tess' birthday party. Chris and Mindy Deets also came and were instrumental in helping Nat make homemade fries and onion rings for the guests.

Some of Tess' favorite things, likes and dislikes include:

  • Favorite foods: apple juice, suckers, waffles, eggs, doughnuts, milk, cottage cheese, and any cheese
  • Hates getting her diaper changed and her hair done
  • Favorite toys: lambie, books, balloons, kites, and our next door neighbors trampoline
  • Loves chap stick
  • Favorite Song: Twinkle Twinkle although Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree is becoming a close second, thanks to her aunt Lisa
  • Knows numbers 1 through 10 but doesn't always get them in the right order
  • Knows her colors including Hot Pink, struggles with yellow and white
  • Favorite animal sounds: elephant, monkey and cow
  • Favorite thing to do with Daddy: swing, get the mail, and get tickled
  • Favorite thing to do with Mommy: avoid kisses and sit on mom's stomach or punch it

Look at those eyes! She is adorable! You will have to tell me if you think that twos are as terrible as everyone says. For me, it has rang very true. Just over night they become this child you have never met. It helps that they are cute, and that is how they survive until their third birthday. You look great!
