Whitney Mae is 2

Whitney had a great birthday a couple of weeks ago! And although for weeks now if you asked her how old she was, she would say "two!", on her birthday I asked her how old she was and she said "one!" Silly.
Here she is at breakfast with one of her favorite presents, a "Mer fag" purse!
YAY!
We went to the park, she loves the twisty tire swing.
And we went to Jumpin' Jacks again for her birthday! We were too lazy (Eric) to drive to the dinosaur museum in Lehi, which was our original plan. Katelyn was fearless!
And Whitney too. She was laughing so hard when Eric kept bouncing her off the wall. I was a little concerned about whiplash, but it's kind of hard to say no when they're having fun.
Her sunshine cake! With dirt cupcakes!
Good job big girl. She actually blew it out herself.
Opening presents.
She got so many fun gifts, which are still being played with constantly. Thank you everyone!!

We love our little Whitney. She brings us so much joy and so many laughs. Some of my favorite things she says right now are "dinkin mountin" for drinking fountain, "mine" and yours and ours instead of my, your, and our- as in "Nalee (Natalie) comin' ours house?" and "where's mine piggy?" and "have on yours gasses (glasses)." My favorite is when we read scriptures and she tries to copy the words, like captivity or wilderness. Her little lips and facial expressions are priceless. Also when she wants a turn to say the prayer, Katelyn always wants to be the one to help her, but sometimes Whitney adds in her own things. Like randomly today Katelyn said "we're grateful for the earth" and waited for Whitney to repeat it, and instead Whitney said "gateful, boons (balloons)". We love it when we say "sorry Whitney, we can't do that right now" and instead of freaking out like she used to, she says "oh-KAY" in this resigned voice, it's SO funny. She's the sweetest little sweetie and we hope she stays that way this whole two-year-old year, haha. :)
