She's officially 2

I can't believe the girl turned 2 last weekend. Time sure does fly (and that means I need to get busy getting ready for #3 to arrive in 5 months!). Mimi & Granddaddy came over for the weekend, and we had a grand party with family and friends at McDonalds. Let me tell you, for a great price they take care of EVERYTHING. I simply had to bring candles and a lighter and serve the cake. No set up. No clean up. Awesome. The girl wasn't so sure about having all the attention focused on her (allowing lots of people got some good cuddle time), but she perked up when her happy meal arrived and again during cake and presents. We got a lot of great pictures that captured the fun.

I got a great coupon for Build-A-Bear since the girl's birthday fell on President's Day weekend this year (can't beat $12 toward an animal, right?). Monday after her birthday, we had a mother/daughter date to go get her new friend. She chose a pink monkey and a princess t-shirt. She wasn't so sure about it getting stuffed, but did enjoy brushing her teeth. She was NOT happy about taking a picture with her new friend, but totes her around a lot since bringing her home.

Our wee one truly is that - wee. She weighs a whopping 21 lbs. 2 oz. (with clothes on) and measures 31 1/2 inches. She still isn't officially on the growth chart for her age! She may be small in stature, but her personality is larger than life. Love this one - she may be the cause of all the extra gray in my hair and cause an ulcer or two, but she's a spitfire and you can't help but love her. (At least I hope so since she is definitely a mini-version of me!)
