Our two year old

Ok so Piper turned 2 on April 2, this post is really late, but I'll say that she didn't have her 2 y.o. check up until the end of April and then life got busy for a little while and I'm just now getting to have some time on the computer.

These pictures were taken by the photographer who did Campbell's newborn pictures. We love the shots she got of Piper. Of course she was there for Campbell but Piper was in a better mood and much more photogenic that morning so...

Piper weighs 28 lbs and is 35 inches tall (65% and 75% percentiles - a huge jump for this little girl who used to be in the 20% percentile in growth). Although we know she's healthy and normal even if the dr. didn't tell us that. She loves to go for walks or to the park, playing in her playhouses, coloring, singing, dancing, and reading books. Any time she hears music she runs to get her tu-tu because you can only dance when wearing your tu-tu of course. Anyone she sees wearing a dress or skirt is a princess. When you tell her that she's a princess, she says, "no I'm Piper." She says that in response to any other adjective you call her. :) She is potty trained, finally, with no regressions since little sister was born thankfully. Piper eats and drinks everything, I'm so thankful that she's not picky. She is still attached to her passy, but the goal is to be rid of it by the end of summer. Wish us luck! Here are some really cute Piper phrases that I want to remember later -

bay-oon = balloon

cu-me = excuse me

airpork = airport

hold you = hold me mommy

mulk = milk

Piper Kistine Johsin = her full name

I go po-ty = I need to go potty right now

buf-a-yo = buffalo

Dowa and do iego go = Dora and Go Diego Go (she's progressed from only knowing one tv show to now being able to name every show and all the characters on Nick Jr. - thanks to baby sister and mommy needing piper to be contained while nursing. she gets to sit on her potty and watch a tv show while I nurse which means no accidents and Piper is happy but now she will sit on the potty just to get us to turn on a tv show so the potty will be moved from the family room to the bathroom - a more appropriate place of course but don't judge us because she is potty trained.

Anyways we love this girl and she is a super sweet big sister. She also loves to be with and do everything her brother does much to his pleasure. She loves to sing, especially the ABCs, knows most of her colors, and is working on touching items while counting them. She's also enjoyed going to the library this summer to get books.
