Abby's Birthday

We woke her up (again) with balloons in her crib.  She REALLY wasn't a fan of them.  She started throwing them out of her bed.

We quickly got dressed and went off for birthday pancakes!

I put up some streamers for her to wake up to on her birthday.  It was a pretty low key Wednesday after our breakfast.  We had to go to the grocery store and pick up her cakes.

When dad got home we did presents!

Then we had dinner and some cake.  She was really excited to get more cake and wear her special hat.

She was trying to show us she is two.

What a big girl!  She enjoys reading books and playing on her iPad.  She is still into babies and Frozen as well.  She is a chatterbox and will talk your ear off.

We went to the doctor the day after her birthday and her head is still off the charts large and she is in the 96th percentile for both height and weight.  This girl is big!  She is in between a 4T and 5T these days.  I can't imagine her getting much bigger.

2nd Birthday Party

Abby had a leopard Elmo themed birthday.  Auntie found a dress a long time ago that started it all.

We had lots of Elmo and Sesame themed foods and decor to go along with our theme.

She had a super special Elmo cake.  It was fantastic!

Auntie made Elmo whoopie pies.  They were very chocolate!

I made some Elmo cups that were kind of a pain.  They looked cute though.

I made some paper fans to put around the pool.

I tried to put this background up for pictures but it was so windy that it ripped shortly after this picture.

She was ready for that cake.  She ended up sticking her hand in it before we even sang.  We couldn't get her to do that last year when she had her own cake.

She ended up only eating the chocolate middle out of the cake and leaving the rest.

We had some pool time to cool off after eating our cake.

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate!

Summer Fun

We've been having so much fun this summer. We are still doing our swimming lessons twice a week. We also went out for a little play date last week. 

We played at this place called The Coop and then went for lunch. 

I am hoping it is unrelated but we also contracted something quite nasty this week. We were at the doctor Thursday for a normal two- year check and then we were back Friday for a breathing treatment. She was wheezing really bad and couldn't breathe. They had a pink rhino nose that we got to take home because we have to continue the treatments this weekend. 

Summer Time

We have had a busy summer. We have spent lots of time swimming! We just recently started our swim lessons again. 

We are taking lessons with a friend from daycare. 

Abby is such a chatterbox. She just talks and talks. And she talks to anyone who will listen. 

We are also still into reading. We spend lots of time reading. We also do A LOT of puzzles. 

Here she is on the 4th!
