Piper turned 2 years old on Saturday, May 14th. It was great day spent at the Zoo, and you'll be able to read about all of our adventures over here at my sister's blog.

I know it's totally cliché to say but I really have no idea where the time as went. I really have no idea what we did before we had Piper. I can't picture a time when she wasn't around.

I thought I'd try sum up all the new and cute things that Piper has learned or done in the past year since her 1st b-day.

- A year ago, Piper only had one little tooth in her mouth, now she has a mouth full, all of her teeth have come in (the last two came in just weeks ago), now we sit and wait for the molars to come in - which I'm really not looking forward to.

-Piper's vocabulary is very impressive - yes - she still mumbles at times, and when she really gets talking you have no idea what the heck she is talking about but she does know alot of words and she is able to speak in sentences. Some of my favorites our:

'Love you, Mommy'

'No more, stores'

'Thank you, Mommy' or 'No, please'

'Hello, baby' - when talking to dog

'toilet' - i just love the way she says it

-Facial Expression and ATTITUDE - You can definitely tell what kind of mood Piper is in by just looking at her face. At times, her facial expression and overall body language can be so dramatic that you can't help but laugh at her.

I can't believe how much attitude one little girl could have at the age of 2. She is very independent, wants to do everything herself and very hard-headed (no idea where she gets it) - Piper is a Taurus and most often then not I usually do not get along with Taurus' so i'm already scared/nervous about the teenage years.

- Hide and Seek - Piper has learnt to play hide and seek. She much rather be the one hiding but she's very good at finding. It's so funny to see her hide in the exact same spot over and over or she'll stand near a wall and close her eyes.

- 9 out of 10 times, Piper will count to 15 but most of the time it's 1 - 7 in English and 8-15 in French. The same with her alphabet it's very bilingual when she sings it.

I can go on and on with this list but I think i'll stop for now, before I bore to many people.

Being a mother is the best thing that I have ever done in my entire life. I definitely won the lottery by having Piper has my daughter. It's not always the easiest job in the world but just seeing one smile or hearing a giggle, definitely makes all the bad days worth wild.
