OK so we're a little late getting this post done but we've been busy! Carly had a great birthday, although I'm not sure she realized it was any different from any other day. She did however thoroughly enjoy singing Happy Day to You most of the weekend.
After trying to put these candles out with her fingers (ouch) she was able to blow them out.
She didn't really see the point cutting the cake or getting a fork dirty.
Mmmmm frosting!
Earlier in the day we had to run some errands. Carly really likes shopping, especially with these cool carts.
It was a very hot morning but we got some quality park time in at the big playground in Rochester.
She loves being able to climb and run without much help from mom or dad.
After a hot morning at the park it was time to fill the pool so it would be nice and warm after nap time.
Unfortunately after nap time it was chilly and rainy. Not really good pool weather, but a great excuse to stay inside and open presents!
A new lawn mower, how cool!
Hey Daddy, I thought you said this thing makes bubbles
Guess we better review the directions.....
Thanks Daddy, works like a dream
Monday was a holiday so everybody was home and the weather was much nicer. We spent a large part of the day pool side.
Eventually poolside wasn't quite good enough. Nice legs Daddy!
Tuesday it was back to Christine's while Mom and Dad went back to work, but the partying wasn't over yet. Mom made dirt dessert and we had a little birthday party with all the fun kids at daycare.
More presents!
It seems impossible to believe that our baby is 2 years old! Although we do occasionally see a glimpse of those "terrible twos" that people talk about, in general she is a happy and polite (she must get this from her daddy) little girl who keeps us laughing. Here are just a few things our big girl can do.
- She can count to 10 if you don't mind leaving out number 6.
- She has definitely got 1-5 down and she knows that she prefers two animal crackers to one and will tell you so
- She loves to sing and dance. She's gotten pretty good at twinkle twinkle little star and loves to sing the alphabet. It's a work in progress but she's got most of it.
- She can spot a school bus, a cycle (motorcycle), or an airplane from miles away
- She is getting very close to making that tricycle go forward (thanks Gram and Bak)

OH my gosh does she look big. It's like having a birthday just instantly made her bigger! She's going to be such a good big sister, and why our Lowe's does't have those carts I don't know. I love them!
Happy Birthday to Carly!! Looks like she had a good one and I love that Lawnmower - our neighbor has it and Joaquin always wants to play with it.
I love the pictures. I cannot believe how big she has gotten. Can't wait to see you all
