TWO!

Happy 2nd Birthday to my sweet baby girl today!!  

We started the day with daddy's famous birthday pancakes, followed by a visit to Santa Claus. You were so not a fan:

We had a long pep talk and watched lots of kids sit in Santa's lap, but when the time came, you wanted no part of it! After you recovered from Santa, we headed to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and then to the Disney store with daddy. You emerged with a smile on your face and a brand new Minnie Mouse doll! She's quickly becoming your new favorite! Poor Dora and Elmo...

You are so much fun right now - you bring so much joy, even to the little things. I love just watching you walk - you have always had a little extra bounce in your step since you took your first one. You love music - "Frosty Snowman", "the jingle one" ("All I Want for Christmas is You"), "Baby", "Low, Low, Low", and you enjoy making the rest of us dance ("Go Da-eee! Go Mommy! Go Ah-vry") right along with you!

You constantly amaze me with all you say and do - you know your ABC's and you are recognizing all of your letters. You are talking in full sentences, counting to 13 and you know all of your colors too! You love reading books, coloring with your sister, and demanding to pretend paint everyone's hand "Come ON Mommy, paint your hand!!!". 

What a blessing you are to all of us.  Happy Birthday Anna Banana - We love you!

  1. I can attest to the fact that she can actually count to 20! She showed me after her birthday party...and to 10 in Spanish!
