She had a birthday, shout horray!

Chloe turned 2 today! What a fun day we had spoiling her and making her feel like our special little girl. Here is a play by play of the day for those of you who couldn't be with us.
8:15 am We had to wake Chloe (yep, she usually rises much earlier than that but she must've realized today was gonna be a special day so she should get extra sleep) We sang Happy Birthday and then told her we had presents for her. Oh, she was very into these presents.
Here she is getting right to it.

Here she is opening Thomas the train. She really loves trains.Here she is discovering her Mickey spinning light toy. We respect you Disneyland.This is her new birthday outfit. Gotta love spring green. For breakfast she got choclate milk and her fav oatmeal. For lunch she got pizza. And for dinner I made her favorite potatoes and ham and pea casserole. Then we went to the park for about 10 minutes and did some high underdogs and fast swining. Apparantly too fast because right when we drove in the driveway she threw up all over. It was sure a delight to clean it up super fast before we had some of her friends over for cake. So below she is in her jammies.
6:30 pm. Getting ready to make a wish. Actually, she's getting ready to make a wish in this picture. Dad had to help her get the candles out.
We had M and M cookies. I will post our fun Disney pictures tomorrow.

And...this last couple of weeks she's discovered everyone's favorite Shrek. So, I made this Shrek cake. The cutest thing about this cake is how impressed my Brad was with it. He really couldn't stop raving about the cake and that made me happy. I think Chloe liked it, too.
Here she is during the day just chillin' with her legs crossed while she ate an enormous Micky cookie.
She's started to love strawberries and she's back to really wanting a straw to drink out of. She likes string cheese and raizzies and grapes. She talks a ton. When she threw up she cried and cried and said, "my shirt ruined". She's discovered she can said "yeah" instead of "no" to things. She loves "book" and "cuddle you" time. She has started to manipulate the bed time routine in full force. oh, I could just keep going on and on about our little super star. I'm sure all you moms feel that way. A special love to my mom on this day.
We love you Chloe Blue.

Happy birthday sweet girl. I can't believe it has been two years. Last time I saw her she still had dark hair and weighed about twelve lbs. It goes by so fast.

What a fun day. I was trying to think of Kate's favorite things today so I could do some special things for her b-day. I had a hard time thinking of things, I'm hoping this comes from her lack of talking and not me being a bad mom. You did a great job with the Cake. Chloe is such a cutie I wish we all could spend more time together. Can you believe our babies are two? Happy Birthday Chloe!
