We have a two year old!
(Thanks to Heather for taking her two year pictures that I never got around to doing!)
We celebrated with my family the Sunday before her birthday. I wasn't really planning on doing a theme but with a little prompting I decided to do Curious George. The decorations turned out really cute and I was glad I had a big sister who knows better than me and thought Emery deserved a theme.
Heather offered to help and so I gladly gave her the cake responsibility! She did not disappoint.
Emery was kept away while we decorated and was brought in once it was all done. I thought she was going to LOVE all the decorations.
Turns out she wasn't very impressed. I will admit I was pretty frustrated with her reaction and I had to try hard not to let it put me in a bad mood.
She did like George however, she argued that it was just a monkey not George.
Ready for dinner.
We had pizza because it's one of the birthday girl's favorites.
After dinner we opened presents. Emery had been excited about the presents all day and kept going over to look at them. We did catch her one time taking a bow off but besides that she left them alone except to admire them.
Then it was time for cake!
Emery liked her cake and said it was pretty.
When almost no one was looking she took a little taste!
She was a little unsure about the candles being lit and had a hard time blowing them out but with a little help she did it.
Then for some reason we encouraged her to take another bite of the cake.
And finally a piece for her to enjoy.
On her actual birthday I made her muffins for breakfast and she ate without any clothes on.
Pouty face.
She loves making tents so we got her one for her present from Mommy and Daddy.
The Friday after her birthday we celebrated with Jonah's family with brownies and ice cream.
She still wasn't sure about the candles.
Unfortunately only Tia Sarah and cousin Aryn were able make it but we still had fun.
Emery also received a couple packages in the mail from other friends which I thought was really neat. One included this cute nightgown and a matching one for her baby.
I can't believe my baby is two! She's the sweetest little girl and I never could have imagined the love Jonah and I have for her.
