Happy 2nd Birthday, Joanna!!!

You officially turned 2 at 9:56pm, but already acting like a two year old.  HA!  

We celebrated you all day long.  You woke up to a puppy banner, presents, donuts and we sung 'Happy Birthday' while you blew out your candles on your Krispie Kreme donuts.  

You and with Vivian's help opened all your gifts.  You received a pretend toaster and animal books that make sound from Memom and Papa, baby doll bath tub, potty, bottles, Mommy and Me book and a stuffed fish from Vivian, and Mommy and Daddy got you an inflatable pool, puppy dog beach towel and a new swim suit, Nana and Papaw gave you some money.  You loved all of your gifts.

You girls played, and fought, over the presents.  We managed to get ready for the day dropped Vivian off at school.  You and Mommy went to Mayfair for a smoothie, Barnes & Noble and World Market before heading home to eat a little lunch before picking Vivian up from school.  

After picking Vivian up from school, we had cake and cupcakes.  You smiled so big when we sung "Happy Birthday" to you.  You knew it was your special day.  You chose a puppy cupcake and decided to eat him face only, no hands.  It was so funny!  The dessert was a big hit.

 After your nap, we met daddy at Chuck E Cheese.  All three of you have never been, and I haven't been since I was a child.  You girls had fun.  You preferred sitting in the 'rides' when they didn't move.  You weren't a fan of the movement.  You also didn't want to get too close to the Chuck E Cheese band.  You preferred watching from a distance.  Together you girls won 80 tickets which got you an ant, whistle and four stickers.  That's what $10 of tokens will get you!  We had pepperoni pizza.  You girls had a wonderful time and that's all that matters.

You were not a fan.  I had to take you out while it was moving.

This was a perfect birthday for you.  You will not remember this day, but sure will.  Happy 2nd Birthday, sweet darling!!  I'm excited to see what year 2 holds for you.

Look Who's 2 Today!

Happy Birthday to our sweet, beautiful, fun loving, full of energy, smart, strong, hilarious little girl!  I CANNOT believe we have a 2  year old!!!!  These 2 years have definitely flown by.  It seems like just yesterday we welcomed you into our lives.

Peanut, you finally it the 23 lb mark and 31 inches tall.  Sad to say you can still wear some 12 months clothes.  Shoe size we are a size 4 and diaper is a size 3. Bedtime is still 7 pm and you wake up around 5:30 am, but we don't get out of our crib until 6 am.  As far as naps, you are starting to wean yourself from taking one.  We attempt everyday, but these past few days you lay on the couch watching Minnie Bowtique on the Kindle.  As long as your getting some rest.  When you are tired, you play with your hair. 

You have been a complete joy to our family.  You are becoming a silly little girl.  Your new thing is walking around with your eyes closed. Ha!  

You love to dance!  You climb on top of the coffee table and say, "dance!"  You look at me and want me to sing so you can break out into your dance moves.  You love to jump as well.  Memom bought you a Little Tikes trampoline so you wouldn't jump on the bed as much.

You are talking more each day.  Your favorite things to say are, "more," "need help," "need hug," "uh oh," "keep back."  

You have developed quite the sweet tooth like your mama.  You love popsicles and ice cream. You also like your fruit and veggies.  Asparagus is a fav right at the moment.  You still love your water, but love your orange juice and milk also.

You love the water!  Love running in the sprinklers and water hose.  Bath is still the best!!  However, the ocean you aren't a fan of.  I guess the waves and the size scares you.  You are content hanging out on the beach and playing in the sand.

You love your baby sister, Joanna.  Love giving her sweet kisses on top of her head.  She'll be more fun once she gets older I promise!

We had your little birthday party yesterday, Father's Day, and your Nana and Papaw where able to come.  It was just us, plus Memom, that were here to celebrate.  You loved your ice cream cake Memom made and you Bojangle's chicken :)

Mommy and Daddy got you a KidKraft Kitchen that you LOVE, 

cookware playset, pots, and peel n' play vegetable set.  Memom got you Lego Duplo train and farm animals, trampoline and a lawn mower bubble maker.  Nana and Papaw got you a gorgeous Elsa dress and Lego Duplo Farm.  You had a great birthday little girl!!

 I hope you enjoyed your day and looking forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you!  

Side note: Memom made you a Sprout birthday card in hopes it would be on t.v. and guess what, it made it!!  It was really neat seeing your card on the Sunny Side Up Show!!
