Look Whooooo's TWO!

Wow the day has come.. no more multi-syllable responses to the famous "How old is she?"
Now, she's just two. It's as simple as that! Okay it's really not, she's really terrible two. Not always terrible but we have some terrible moments. This whole throwing thing... it can go! Oh and the few instances where she's laid down on the floor and thrown a fit.. yeah not a fan.

Okay enough about the terrible twos because she isn't really terrible. She is a blast! I love this little girl to pieces and she definitely keeps us laughing! Her vocabulary is growing as fast as she is and she amazes us with the things she says! "Cookie" "cupcake" "turtle" "OH NO! It's a mess" (yes it is always a mess, a mess she's made) "Stop, dog." "What's that?" "It's a ____." "That's right." "Helllo?" etc. But, beyond her verbal ramblings I'm truly amazed by her ability to recognize letters. It all began with the letter T. As Vols fans we have several Tennessee Power T's lurking around the house. Her first letter was T and it was mostly because she saw it so much we told her what it was and she began pointing it out. She'd see a T in a sign or on a building and scream "T" and she's even see the Texas Rangers T etc. Then one day she spotted a capital T in a book title and asked "What's that?" to the letter beside it and the trend began. She has letters in the tub and she ask what they were and we'd tell her and she'd repeat. She now knows and recognized several letters accurately-- A, B, C, D, E, G, I, K, O, P, T, W, Y, Z. She will get the other letters sporadically though. She usually defaults to 'Dub Ew' (W) if she doesn't recognize it immediatly. I think she likes saying it. Oh well, so yes, we have a baby genius on our hands-- what can I say. (kidding)

Halloween will always be a favorite. I love this holiday so stinkin' much.
We had a great time with a wonderful Halloween Party (which became a Game 7 or the World Series party too!). We had 17 kids, lots of adults, lots of yummy food, hot apple cider, and a brisk night for South TX! The Kepleys dressed up like the Flintstones!
For Trick or Treating, Grace Anne was the energizer bunny... the most fitting costume-- hands down. It was cute and a major hit! She loved Trick or Treating! She was a little confused by the people sitting outside (in garages, on the sofa in the driveway (which is a S. TX thing I'm convinced), etc). She was determined that ringing the doorbell and screaming "Trick Treat" was the only way to do it.
