Makin' music

My Great-Tutu sent me lots of fun presents for my birthday. I love the trucks she got me, but I also really like playing music on this recorder. Aunt Kati even got out her old recorder from when she was younger and played me some songs.

Today I am two!

Can you believe I have been here for two whole years? I've done a bunch of growing, learning and changing in that time, too. Here's some proof.

First, take a look at my first picture with Squeakers here.

And now, check out these pictures of me with Squeakers on my second birthday!





See how tall I am!

On my birthday last year, I was only as tall as where the bottom of my ear is now.



I am nearly 3 feet tall now.

Birthday party!

There was a big party at my house today, to celebrate... ME!

The party theme was Mickey Mouse.



We had ears for all my friends to wear. Look how cute we all are!

My friend Payce...



...and Caroline and Mariah Daisy...



...and Griffin...



...and his Daddy Jason...



(that's my friend Jamie and Lachlan's mommy Amy there with Jason)

...and me!



I love my friend Brian!



There was lots of great food at my party. Most of it was what Mickey likes to eat - different kinds of cheese!



There were also special M&Ms (of course - MM for Mickey Mouse!)



And there were Jello jigglers that Mommy decorated to look like Mickey.



Are they cute or what?



We played a game called Pin the ears on Mickey. (Mommy drew it. She did a great job!) Here's what it looked like before our game:



..and after!



Mommy helped me to open my presents. Wearing her ears, of course!





Some of my presents were Mickey too.



These cute sandals were from my Tutu Katy.



Then it was time for cake! There was a little one just for me.



And a big one for everyone to share.



Grandma and Aunt Kati helped me blow out my 2 year old candle.



And then I devoured my cake, using my new Mickey fork and spoon!



The last thing we did was called a pinata.



There were lots of strings on it for us to pull...



...and when we did, a bunch of candy fell out the bottom!

It was a really fun party!

T-ball!

Today, I learned how to play t-ball. It was lots of fun, and I was actually pretty good at it!

Sliding!

My friend Marcy gave me this great slide. Isn't she nice?

I like standing at the top after I climb up there...



...and then playing with the wheel...



...then, when I'm ready, I sit down...



...and go sliding!

Don't miss this!

Aunt Kati just posted a blog with a cute video of me. But it's waaaaaay down the list, because she has had it in draft for a long time (she was having problems uploading videos). Anyway, we don't want you to miss it, so here's a link to where it is. Hope you like it!

Easter Egg huntin'

Every year, there's an Easter Egg hunt for kids at the Methodist Church here. Aunt Kati says that I didn't go last year, because I was sleeping, but that I did get one egg from my friend Emma. I ate the candy out of it, and that was the first time I ever had chocolate. Yum!

Anyway, this year I was wide awake and enjoyed the egg hunt, even though it was over really fast!

I found a nice yellow egg first.



And then I found this cool orange and yellow one!



You have to open the eggs...



...to find the treats! This one had a lollipop in it.



My friend Payce was also at the Easter egg hunt, so we gave each other a big hug.
