Our big girl turned two today!! It is truly amazing to see how much she has grown. Chris says that she reminds him of a little lady now. She is doing GREAT with her new bed set up!!! She loves being a big girl.
She woke up this morning at 5am. I went in to get her up and sang Happy Birthday to her. She then requested that I also sing it to her night night bear. We got her bup (cup) and we went back into our bedroom to snuggle while she drank her cup. She finished up her cup and then she and I snuggled until it was time for Chris to get up for work. Once we got out in the living room Chris brought out her surprise of the balloons we got her. There was a huge Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and two purple ones. She FREAKED OUT!!! She loves balloons. So then Chris finished getting ready for work and we got to playing. We played as normal all day. She requested to wear her new Dora the Explorer dress up outfit (thank you Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Jeff!!) but I was giving Charley her bath. Lily went into the dresser and got out her outfit and out it OVER her PJ's!! She had the top on like a beauty pageant sash and actually got the shorts on correct. Some how she also had tied the balloons around her waist and was running through the house!! She came around to show me what she had done all by herself. I just smiled really big and told her that she was a good girl for getting dressed. We then played until lunch/nap time. Everybody took a good nap after all the excitement of the morning. Daddy got home shortly after nap and we went back into their playroom for the rest of the afternoon. Then we had dinner spaghetti-a Lily favorite. Then after dinner we pulled out a chocolate ice cream cake. We put a #2 on it. Lily sat at her Dora table and Chris and I sang to her. She didn't really know what to make of this. After we sang and I got a few good pics we explained what she needed to do with the candle. She tried a couple of times and then asked for help. We all "helped" blow out the candle together. She loved her cake. Chris, Lily and I all sat at her little Dora table to enjoy our cake. Charley was taking a beer nap. Lily and Chris then played tackle dummies for a little bit. She kept yelling "dirtday"and running all over the house! It was great! Then it was off to the bathroom for her bath. Then book and bup with Daddy. Then she climbed into her bed and went to sleep.
I wanted to tell about our day in detail b/c this time last year we still didn't know when she was coming home. All we knew is that we didn't get to be with her for her birthday. So today it was so WONDERFUL to see her face light up when she saw her cake. It is even better to know that tonight when we go into check on her we get to kiss her and whisper Happy Birthday to her and not a picture!
We love you Lily Girl!!! APPY DIRTDAY!! CHEERS!!! :-)
