Happy 2nd Birthday

To my beautiful and fun (and often very crazy) little bit...I hope your second birthday is fun!

 

I was thinking this morning of all the things she does on her own; like opening doors, climbing in and out of mommy and daddy's bed, brushing teeth, getting dressed, and buckling herself into seats.  She's grown up fast...

Some of the things she says: "hammer dow" for "Farmer in the Dell", "whips" for "zips", "hide" for "slide", and "hucker" for "sucker".

Some of her phrases: "go away", "I don't wanna", "no no no", "please, more, hucker", "daddy truck".

Her favorite things to play with: babies (and all their accessories and diapers), kitchen and play food, choo choo trains, and blocks.

Party Time

Today we celebrated Dani's 2nd birthday with a few friends and family at Alfonzo's Pizza.  I highly recommend it.

I have to send a huge thanks to all that attended and gave gifts.  She had an amazing time, has played with all of her toys, and loves each of them.

To see her reaction to each gift made my day.  It was better to see and experience that over any gift I've ever recieved. 

Some of her gifts were trains and a wooden train track set; babies and baby accessories; dress up clothes; rocking horse and boots; a kitchen; Little People; and pajamas.

It was a real joy!

Now a story to remember...grandma came over to help mommy make cookies and decorate cakes.  Dani is helping Grandma and is holding a Wilton food coloring cup.  Grandma has no idea that Dani can open containers.  Next thing I know, I(m diving to keep Dani's freshly colored pink hands out of her hair and off her face.  I ended up with pink from my finger tips to elbow! Should have taken a photo!
