My Baby is two. I don't know how that happened. My niece, Ava, turned two in October and I was prepared for Saige to only have half a year left before she turned two. Then my niece, Luci, turned two in December, and I was prepared for Saige to only have 4 months left before she turned two. I got so used to the other girls being two that it seemed like it was taking forever for Saige to turn two. I've been telling people for at least a month that Saige
is two. Then, last week, Saige went to the doctor, and the nurse declared her a "big girl now" and put her on the regular kid scale. Saige also started buckling herself into her carseat, and she went to her first movie. It seemed like my little itty bitty baby grew up so quickly in just a week or two! I asked her if she's my "Big Girl" or my "Baby." She told me she was my baby. I think she will always be my baby! Here are 100 things about the Birthday Girl:
1. For a while, instead of saying just “thank-you” Saige would say “thank-you, honey.”
2. She puts too much food in her mouth, and then she spits it all out.
