Messy face pic and 2 year old update

I just had to post a picture of Josie licking off the stirrer from our ice cream maker... deliberately messy and loving it.
I am enjoying her so much these days, it is so fun to be able to communicate so much more now. She loves telling little made up stories about baby animals, she pretends to hold them in her hand and they do everything with her. Today it was baby owl, yesterday it was baby ocelot.
She is potty trained now, too, which is fun for her. Its another thing that she can do by herself, which is HUGE right now. And she likes to pick out her undies, and spends a lot of time deciding which pair :-)
Another big milestone we just accomplished is graduating from crib to big girl bed. Eric really wanted her to be excited about it so we spent tons of time talking it up and preparing her for the move. We went as a family to buy a mattress at Costco, and she got to pick her own sheet set out, too (rainbow hearts, pretty cute. I was just thankful she didn't go straight for the barbie princess ones!!). So far it has been really great, she slept from 9-5 the other night in her own bed, IN HER OWN ROOM which is a first for her!
