Birthday Girl!

I finally turned 2 after a year of saying I was 2!!!! So many of my friends and family helped me celebrate and I was thrilled about my party!

Here's me with mom and dad. I am now pretty good at saying "cheese" for the camera!
I got to eat all of my favorite foods with some of my favorite people (the menu consisted of hot dogs, thanks dad, mac and cheese, blueberries/strawberries, and cake/ice cream).
We even got to go on a butterfly hunt. I found a few hiding on the steps:)
Uncle John helped me blow bubbles. I finally got to blow out 2 candles after talking about it for a really long time!
My pal, John, helped me open some presents...presents my mom and dad aren't sure where they'll go, but presents that I so appreciate and love!

Baby Emma helped me celebrate too! She has grown so much that I can't hold her like a newborn baby anymore. I can't wait to show her all that I have learned in my short 2 years of life!

Daddy's Birthday

To celebrate Daddy's birthday, mom and I took him golfing. I got to drive the golf cart and kept saying "beep,beep".
At first Daddy tried to help me putt.....
Then I said, "I do it!!!!" I also learned some golf etiquette and safety things....like not screaming while someone is teeing off....and standing far behind Daddy while he is hitting the ball.
I had a great time encouraging Daddy too! I'd scream, "I did it (meaning he did it)!" every time Daddy hit the ball and I'd clap for him. I think Daddy had a great time too:)

Summer Fun

My mom said she always wanted a picture of me falling asleep in my highchair mid-meal. Well...today while my mom slipped out of the room, I fell asleep with a chocolate chip in my mouth:) I guess swimming this morning with my friends Aydin and Malia wore me out!
I even told my mom on the way home from the pool, "no nap!". But I guess moms do know best:)
This was taken a few weeks ago while I was at the park with my friends Ava and Ruby. We meet every Monday morning at the "big park" (aka Lion's Park) and we have a blast! Here I am sneaking some of Ava's yummy snacks (mom brings snacks for me but they are never as good as what my friends bring).
Ruby and I try to climb the tree. We don't get very far, but it does make us giggle.
Maybe when I am just a little bit bigger I can get up there!
