Cheers!

Our Phoebe Laura turned 2 in February. She's a delight to everyone! Her most common word (until chicken pox) is "YES!" Who ever heard of a 2-year old loving YES? Now, sadly, it's "ope" (nope). Hopefully she'll be a yes girl once she's rid of the nasty scabs. I think she will. In these pics, she's playing with some new fun birthday presents. She loves Polly Pockets and can literally play with them on her own for an hour. This is a whole new world for me, and I love it.

And by the way, a month or so ago, we were eating dinner at my parents' home with my grandparents. Out of the blue when there was a slight lull in the conversation, Phoebe lifted her sippy and said, "CHEERS!" We all started laughing and smiling. It was one of the cutest moments of my life. We had done cheers several weeks before for my grandpa's birthday, but hadn't done it since. I love to think of her brain pulling that one up and deciding it was a cheers-worthy moment.
