Your second year of life has been nothing short of amazing! There are so many milestones that you have reached this year. It's been difficult to track them by date because some milestones have been gradually reached over time. You've started to say more and more words and continue to observe the world around you. By your second birthday, you could identify the names of all the letters in the alphabet. You love music, books, puzzles, and you are completely obsessed with cars. We love to watch you grow and figure things out. You love to run, jump, and climb. I take you to lots of mommy and me classes, as well as local outings to the farm, zoo, and museums. I try to keep you very active and stimulated and want nothing more than to nurture your love for learning and that incredible curiosity of yours.
