Happy 2nd Birthday, Marlo!

Marlo's 2nd birthday was low key, but a lot of fun.  Cupcakes, presents, and outside time...about everything a new 2 year old could want.

She loved all of her presents, including the playhouse from me and Ben.  Hayden was a helpful gift assistant.


It's been an eventful year.  She has progressed from saying a handful of words, mostly about the dog (Dextoor!), to long, rambling sentences.  She still has her own personal grammar, but she's quite the conversationalist.  A year ago, she toddled around confidently...now she runs, jumps, and climbs a lot of things she shouldn't be climbing.  She can sort of dress herself, although her fashion sense is, well, creative.  She's a character through and through--happy, funny, active, curious and very sweet.
