Happy Birthday Bitty!!

Believe it or not, this post is not going to contain a single picture. I know, can you believe it?!?! I have made a special video for the people attending her birthday party this Saturday, and I don't want to upload it on my blog until they have seen it. So, there will be LOTS of pics and a VIDEO to see on Saturday!!

This is simply a post to wish my Bitty Princess a very happy 2nd birthday!! I still can't believe she is already 2!!

Peyton's vocabulary has really taken off in the last several months. Here are some of her most used words:

Mama
Daddy
Dad - she uses Dad a lot now
Parker (spoken with a New Orleans accent)
Nanny - Granna - but she also uses Nanny for Annie (Andrea) and Suellyn (Adam's step-mom)
Nona
Bumps - Grumps
May May - Aunt May
biaper - diaper
bapple - apple
pishies - goldfish
bowl - she wants EVERYTHING in a bowl
baby
blantet - blanket
book
tank ooo - thank you
lud ooo - love you
peas - please
boo - loves to play peek-a-boo
bup - up or down
wawa - any kind of water, but mainly uses it for when she's ready for bath time
mammy and mo mammy - lamby and more lamby - she has two lambs that go everywhere with her
potty - she is obsessed with going potty, although she doesn't actually do anything
wawald and weenie - oswald - her favorite show
baba - her milk - even though it's in a sippy cup
tea - anything other than milk
eat
mere - come here

There's a ton more that she says, but these are the most used words! She still refuses to say her own name though. If you ask her who she is or what her name is, she always responds with "me", and points to herself!

I love hearing her say new things almost everyday! She's also started singing songs, although you can't really understand very many of the words! She loves to "sing" along with almost every song she hears, and is ALWAYS dancing!

Bitty is still extremely small for her age. She just recently broke 20 pounds! Parker was the same way though until he turned 3, so we'll see what happens. I think she is just going to have my Mom's metabolism...which is a GREAT thing!

I hope you all have a great week! I will try to post this week, but if I don't, there will be plenty to see on Saturday and Sunday.


Peyton Reese -

WOW! Time has flown by! I still remember very clearly the day we brought you home from the hospital. You were such a teeny tiny little thing. Your Daddy and I couldn't wait to get you home to have a formal introduction with your big brother. It was one of the sweetest things I have ever seen!! He was SO happy to meet you and he loved all over you like you were a baby doll. You were definitely the size of one!

This past year you have grown into such a little lady. You love your baby dolls so much and are a great little Mommy to them! You love all things girly: lipstick, bows, headbands, clothes, shoes, purses, pretend cooking, and a whole lot more.

This past year you have also grown into quite the little tomboy. I always lovingly refer to you as my "brut in a dress"!! You love to play with your brother and all of his toys. I think you like cars and tools just as much as he does!

You are the best little eater I have ever seen! I have no idea how you stay so small. Sometimes it seems like you are eating from the time you wake up until the time you go to bed. I love it! You don't know this now, but your brother is the worst eater ever, so it's great to see you eat everything that is put in front of you. Your favorites right now are green beans, broccoli, corn, apples (bapples), grapes, goldfish (pishies), chips (pips), and cereal.

I love you so much and am so proud to be your mommy! I wish you could stay this little forever, but I definitely look forward to watching you grow up! I love your spit-fire attitude, your bossiness, and your independence - even though I know they will drive me crazy as you get older. I have a feeling you are going to be a lot like me!

I could go on and on in this letter to you about all the things I love about you, but it would take me days and days to complete! Just know that I love you with every ounce of my being and I will forever be proud to call you my daughter!

Love, Mama

Happy Birthday, Peyton! I can't believe she is already 2 - this year really flew by! The Macs can't wait to celebrate with y'all on Saturday! Your letter to her made me cry - so sweet. You should definitely save that for her - it will mean so much to her one day. :)

YOUR GRANNA AND GRUMPS ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!! WE WERE SO HAPPY WHEN YOUR MAMA ANNONCED THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT AGAIN. THERE WAS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND FROM DAY ONE THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE PRINCESS. WE LOVE YOU DEARLY!! WHETHER YOUR MAMA KNOWS IT OR NOT, YOU ARE NOW THE PRINCESS, AND SHE'S THE QUEEN!!

Happy Birthday Peyton! I can't believe how fast time flies. All those things your mom says about you...spit-fire attitude, bossiness, independence...are what make your mom so great! So, consider that a compliment! Brody will for sure need somebody with a spit-fire attitude to tame his wildness! See you Saturday!

Happy Birthday Little Bitty! I have enjoyed every moment with you over the past two years. You are growing up so fast. I love hearing from your Mommy all the new things you are doing every day. Claire loves her best friend. Can't wait for your party on Saturday!
