Pieper at 2 years old is spunky and sweet! She is charming, loving, funny, goofy and loves to make people laugh. At the same time, she is very quiet and shy when she is uncomfortable or in a new situation. Most the time at nursery she doesn't peep a sound- not like at home where she talks nonstop. She has quite the vocabulary for her age and loves to learn new words. She has definite ideas about what she wants and doesn't want. For example, she still will not eat any kind of fruits or vegetables. She is a VERY picky eater and stays pretty headstrong against mommy in this issue. She loves sweets just like her daddy and will always prefer and try to eat candy or cake before anything else. She still loves the 4-B's (babies, blankie, binky and books!). She is very nurturing to her babies and loves to change and rechange their diapers all the time. She hates anything with motion- swings, elevators or any kind of tossing. I'm surprised we got her on any of the rides at Disneyland! Her favorite saying right now is, "daddy did it" or "sissy did it." She loves to play barbies with her sister and copy anything she does. She's quite the little mimicker. She loves to keep up with all her older cousins and always being apart of the fun. At her age, she's still quite small, but her sometimes testy attitude always tells us otherwise. She has no problem defending herself against her sister and sometimes coming out on top. She's already been introduced to the naughty step... months ago. :) We love Pieper dearly and are so grateful she's a part of our family. She is always willing to give you loves and kisses and her snuggles are the best in the world. Her smiles always makes us smile inside, but sometimes makes disciplining her very difficult. Pieper is a sweet child and we all love her very, very much.

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

We Love You,

Mom and Dad
