I wanted to capture Gizmo on her birthday so years later we could look back and marvel at how wonderful she was at this age. And make fun of her hair, of course.
Here's what she had to say during breakfast on her birthday.

Happy Birthday, Gizmo!
Gizmo turned two! It is hard to believe that just two years ago she stubbornly entered the world.
Every day I am equal parts amazed at how much she can do, and annoyed that the Terrible Twos are full-on at our house.
While it took a while for Gizmo to get used to her little sister, she is now fiercely protective of her, and loves to make her laugh.
She has an extensive vocabulary and speaks very clearly for a two-year-old, and just tonight as we were painting her toenails she "reminded" me how much she does actually listen to me, and how I need to watch my language all the time.
Now that she's two, there are lots of changes at the house - Gizmo's been promoted to the "big table" and no longer is using her high chair; tomorrow morning we are going to try our first run at big girl panties; tomorrow night the "Nuk Fairy" is visiting to redistribute her Nuks to the new babies in the world, and hopefully bringing a toy. (I have no doubt the Nuk Fairy will deliver.)
While there are definitely times I need more patience and time to deal with my persistent toddler, no one makes me laugh harder, smile bigger, or give warmer hugs than my Giana. I'll take your "too much" any day. I love you, sweet girl. Happy Birthday.

Can You Feel the Love?
Just when I think Gizmo is starting to get used to Gonzo, things like this happen. Something tells me that Gonzo looks forward to torturing her older sister as they grow up!

A Follow-Up To My Previous Post
The following conversation took place Monday afternoon:
Me: It's getting pretty cloudy and dark outside....let's go turn on the TV to see the weather report.
Gizmo: Turn on Uncle Boston!!!
She's got it all figured out. Can't wait to watch you, Boston!

Changing My Allegiance
Move over, Sven -
There's a new meteorologist in town!
Boston has secured a position as meteorologist and anchor for WCCO-4 right here in Minneapolis! He and Katie are moving to the Northland this month, and we here at Fifty Below Zero could not be more proud of Boston and more excited that the two of them will be within a half hour of our home. (We are also excited about the free babysitting!)
Of course, that means I have to break up with my NBC affiliate, Kare 11, and my favorite gay weatherman, Sven Sundgaard. (Insert frowny face here.) If it means watching my favorite brother-in-law-that's-on-TV, then so be it. Twin Cities friends, be sure to check Boston out later this month!
