Your 2nd birthday party was a huge success! Unfortunately weather disnt cooperate, so we were unable to have your party outside at the park, but we made do inside at our house. And it was awesome!! Because your theme was all about kites, I made a banner out of homemade felt kites that said, "Happy 2nd Birthday Halen!" and it was all very colorful. Our menu was: Chicago Style Hotdogs, potato salad, BLT pasta salad, watermelon-berry fruit salad, Neicey's Famous Tortilla Roll Ups, Blueberry Pineapple Salsa, Lavender Lemonade, a cooler of beer and a Lemon-Blueberry Cake for your birthday cake. It was all delicious!
You wore an adorable nautical style dress with a bright pink tutu. I was able to glue a 2 on your shoulder strap. You had so much fun playing with all your buddies! Everyone who came: your cousins Jack & Kenzie, Joshie & Charlie, Daycare buddies: Ainsley & Ben, your playground buddy Kinsley, Aunt Marilyn, Bebe & Mark, your good friend Owen Besson, and Aunt Sharon.
You played with all the pink balloons, ran around the house, and did lots of giggling. You knew exactly what to do when we all sang you happy birthday, you blew out your candles perfectly...except mommy accidentally used trick candles, so they lit back up as soon as you blew them out. You had the cutest, most confused look on your face. But finally they went out! For presents you received: 3 soccer balls (!!!) we're so exited to introduce you to sports, some soccer cones, shinguards, soccer hair bows, bubbles, a giant beach ball sprinkler, an art set with a princess coloring book, a cute dress, your first package of girlie undies, more bubbles, a lifevest from mom and dad, pool toys from mom and dad, a Big Sister scrub set to wear to the hospital to meet your baby sister, a personalized library book bag, and a sweet teddy bear.
We ended the night by playing more with Jack, Kenzie and Owen. You had a great time. We love celebrating you our darling two year old!
And then a few days later we went to your two year well check...you did fantastic! You were so well behaved! Everything sounded great and we found out you were 36 inches tall in he 91st percentile, 28 lbs in the 69th percentile, and your lil noggin is in the 35th percentile (like mommy's 😊). And you are ahead developmentally by 7 months! Not that daddy and I are surprised, but we are so proud of how healthy, smart & active you are. Then you received your chicken pox vaccine, and you were so brave. We went to get frozen yogurt afterwards to reward you for being so good!
It was a great week celebrating you muffin!! The next milestone is you becoming a big sister, in a matter of weeks.💗
We love you so!!!!
Love,
Mommy
