Happy 2nd Birthday Caitlin










Well our little bug is now TWO years old! Her birthday fell on a Wednesday and we celebrated by having her favorite dinner (pesto ravioli, broccoli, and avocado) and mini cakes for dessert. We followed that with presents and Toy Story 3! Caitlin seemed to like the movie. We had watched the first two movies the two weeks before her birthday to get ready for the event. When she watched the first movie, she was shocked to see Buzz and Woody (both of which she has) talk!



On Friday we all headed over to Y-town to celebrate her birthday with family at my brother and Sarah's house. Before we got there, we stopped in Medford at Toys R Us so Caitlin could pick out ANY toy she wanted. This was a total daddy/daughter thing. Dennis had been looking forward to Toys R Us for weeks! Caitlin ended up choosing a little ball. She almost went for a dancing Mickey Mouse, but in the end, she couldn't let go of the ball....at least it's fushia!
We stayed at my dad's house and then Colton and I headed in early to get ready for the party. My mom made chocolate and funfetti cupcakes and I decorated them to look like sunflowers. We ordered mexican food platters which were REALLY good. Caitlin got quite a few new outfits, two baby dolls, a sticker book with crayons, magna doodle, record player, purse, stroller, and a retro red kitchen! It was so awesome of everyone to get her such cool stuff! After the party we had planned to drive back home, but Dennis was really tired so we decided to stay with J, K, B, and M. Caitlin had a great time playing with her cousins and it was nice to relax after the party.

On the 10th we took Caitlin for her 2 year check-up. She weighed 23lbs and was 32 inches tall. She still is a tiny thing putting her in the 8th percentile for her weight! Thankfully, her daddy was there to comfort her after the shots. I also had the doctor listen to Colton's lungs because he'd had a cough for a few days.....and he was just fine. Back at home, it was Yo Gabba Gabba and a cookie for the little bug for her big day at the doctor.

I really can't believe my baby girl is already 2! Before we know it, she'll be going to kindergarten!

I can't believe she is two already. Time sure zooms by once you have kids.
Hope you all are well. Have a great turkey day :~)

Don't worry about Caitlin's size. I remember a skinny, blue lipped little girl swimming in our pool and wondering where the hamburgers were... "but daddy you said we were going to McDonald's". lol
Love you blog...
