A Happy Birthday to ME, a "Very Hungry" 2 year old

First, I need to apologize. It has been very difficult for my Mommy to update this blog while I am around. I admit it, I do like to bang on the keyboard and try to do a "grab n' throw" with the magic mouse. But, come on, what do you expect from me when she is sitting on the couch trying to type. Its just too tempting... So that is the reason for her lack of updates.
(Yes, my parents thought it would be a great idea to use the TV as a monitor)
Trust me, she has things to say, but my brothers and sister and I give her no time to do it. Sorry Mommy!

AND NOW, BACK TO MY SPECIAL DAY
I went to the Dr for my 2 year check up and found out I am over 3 feet tall. My Mommy wonders if this means I'll be 6 feet tall when I am grown. No wonder people think I am 3 years old. I guess my talking and counting to 15 only adds to their confusion. I also lost my binky. This is distressing to me but I think my mommy is secretly happy about it...hmmm.

For my second birthday, my parents threw me a "Very Hungry Caterpillar" party. They kept it pretty low key and only invited Nana and cousins. We had pizza, salad (green leaves) and all the fruit from the book, minus plums (couldn't find them). Here's me after blowing out my candles.

My parents are awesome! I squealed with delight when Daddy brought this out. I guess they thought I love slides so much, we should have one in our house. Even my 6 year old brother enjoys it.

Wow, I even got my own car (although Daddy mentioned something about this being the only one I would ever get, so enjoy it- whatever that means) My parents must know how much I dislike standing on the sidewalk while my older siblings ride their bikes. Now I'll be riding the streets in style.


My Nana hooked me up with some nice gifts too. She knows I love books and to be read to.


Here are some of the decorations my Mommy made. Wow, the things she can do with paper and scissors!



Look at this CAKE! My mommy is amazing!

She also hooked me up with my own birthday crown.

I had a wonderful day, despite losing my binky somewhere...I guess that habit is no more. Thanks Daddy and Mommy for my special day!

Thanks, AB for that post. I WAS wondering where your mommy had gone. Well, you and baby Dodge have something in common because he loves the keyboard too. I'm glad you had such a fun day - give your mom extra hugs because she did a great job for your party. You are super cute and getting huge! Give everyone hugs from us in INdiana!!!

Adorable. I love this girl! (Trainer) Retep says its the big puppy dog eyes like our Wafffle Dawg. They just make you want to give her whatever she wants.
