On Your Birthday...

Good morning birthday girl!

You slept in until 7:30 this morning! Daddy had to leave early for his golf league, but he gave you a kiss before he left.

After some breakfast, we took Nala for a walk (in our pajamas!).

We played when we got home and to my surprise you were already ready for a nap around 9:30. You were pretty tired because you slept until almost noon.

We ate lunch, Daddy got home, and then it was present time followed by pool time!

Luke was really excited to give you his present (a My Little Pony Book and 2 Little People - Batgirl and Wonder Woman - so fitting for Luke's love of superheroes right now!).

You were really excited about your stroller and baby doll - much more than I thought you would be at this age.

There are certain moments when you are sure your child is your child. This moment for me with you is when we are by the pool. You and I like to be BY the pool, but we don't necessarily need to be IN the pool all the time. You come in for awhile, but you after a short while you are trying to get yourself back to the deck. And lately, you just plop yourself in your pink chair and sit there. It cracks us up! Then after awhile, you want to get back in the water to cool off and then back to the pink chair you go! Love it!

You lasted as long as you could outside, but it was time for another nap for you around 3 or so. This was a short one.

After nap time, we headed to Buffalo Wild Wings for your birthday dinner.

I would say that you loved your mac and cheese. You ate all of it - the entire bowl plus all of the mandarin oranges! And had a taste of ice cream.

We came home and played for a bit. Daddy and Luke were outside doing some watering and you were busy playing with your baby. You can say baby (ba-ba) and I'm pretty sure you gave your baby no fewer than 1,000 kisses. We would ask you to do it and other times I would catch you giving kisses all on your own - such a good little mommy you are!
