Laura is 2 Years and 2 Months!

Likes: blueberries, suckers, treats, fries, ketchup, cereal with milk, playing outside, going to the park, watching "Go Diego Go" and "Dora the Explorer," spinning in circles, her new purple sandals, messing around in her crib when she should be sleeping

Dislikes: Daddy scaring her with the spider, not being allowed to have her plug

Any new tricks? Laura must be learning shapes at daycare because the other day she was looking at her shape flashcards and said "triangle!" She is getting very good at running around and kicking a soccer ball, and at parks she can climb up the equipment and go down slides by herself. She's definitely getting more independent and will tell us all the time, "My do it" or "I do it myself." At night she likes to take her diaper off herself which is hilarious because her little two-year-old belly makes it hard for her to see the tabs, and she almost falls over because she has to bend so far down to see the diaper. We've heard her count to 13 without getting mixed up, and she can sing some songs by herself now too like the ABC's and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
