My Birthday Party!!!

My party was so much fun. I knew it was my special day and I was so excited, but I never imagined how many of my friends would be there! We had 20 kids under the age of 5 and a few big kids too. Almost all of my friends came. We ate lots of good food and all my friends got to meet the horses and play on ride on toys and play with balls and bubbles and cornhole. It was a beautiful day and we had such a great time. Mommy and Bia got a few good pictures, but not many of all of my guests. Anyway- you can get the idea. My bia made Elmo cake pops...

And Elmo cupcakes too. I helped make these.

Here I am with my friend Valentina. This is us racing with Valentina's big sister Isabella

Here is the family birthday shot.

My mommy and daddy are silly.

The Bubbles were a HUGE hit...

Here I am with my oldest friend Brooke from our old daycare. Greta couldn't come to my party b/c her mommy was having a baby.

This is my friend Mayleen from gymnastics.

What an amazing day!!!

My Birthday

On Friday May 7th (my actual birthday) my friend Valentina came over and we played all day long. It was so much fun. Here we are hanging with Elmo in the baby stroller. Then when my mommy got home, we FINALLY got to eat my cake from my Nannabel (which came days before in the mail and I asked about it everyday). It was shaped like a heart and had a number 2 candle on it.

This is me blowing out the candle. I don't quite have the blowing thing mastered, but I know what I'm supposed to do-

Mommy's Birthday

We went to our favorite restaurant for Mommy's birthday. Sammy fell asleep....Until I included him in our family birthday hug.

Smores & Visitors

Just a few more posts before we get to my birthday pictures... a few weeks ago we had a bonfire and some of the best visitors ever. My friend Auntie Jenny came out to visit me.... I LOVE SMORES even though I have to concentrate very hard on them...

And also one of my daddy's best friends Mr. Clay (who I called "Mr. Cockio" even though mommy really tried to get me to say it right) was visiting for the weekend. Sammy LOVED him (but not the flash on mommy's camera)-

On Sunday morning before he left, we all went for a walk on the W&OD trail. I loved riding in my pack with Mr. Cockio- even if he does have a horrible shirt on.

Feeding Horsey Treats

Mommy says these pictures might make some people nervous, so I need to tell you all that I am very good at remembering to feed treats with a "flat hand"- so the horses don't accidentally bite my fingers. They are VERY gentle with me- they know I am little. I love them both and want to feed them treats ALL the time. Mommy says they are only allowed to have a little bit- like me and cupcakes.

Under the Covers

I am always trying to cover up Sammy, but this time I wanted to get under the covers with him. I kept yelling "My and Sammy Under Covers!!!"

cold rainy day

check out my raincoat from Nannabel. I love it!

Brooke's Birthday Party

My friend Brooke had her 2nd birthday party at this great place called Monkey Business. Our other best friend Greta was there too. The three of us grew up together at my school since we were little babies (you might remember pictures of me as a fish and Brooke as a strawberry on our first halloween). Brooke left our school a few months before me, and Greta's mom just had a new baby boy (we think yesterday but haven't heard yet for sure) so she is gone from there now too... but we (and our moms) have all managed to stay friends. You can see from the pictures how much we love each other. Brooke is coming to my birthday party tomorrow and I can't wait to see her!
This is Brooke (waiving) and Greta and me. Here are a few more of Greta and me (Brooke was busy entertaining her other guests!)

Roll Over Sammy

Here I am doing tummy time with Sammy and showing him how to roll over. He's getting pretty good at it now.

Last days with Mommy Home

As most of you know, my mommy went back to work on April 19th. After we got back from Florida, we had 3 more wonderful weeks together and mommy took lots of pictures. My mommy says its was the best gift ever to spend so much time with us kids. She misses us terribly now that she is back to work.... and we really miss her too. But Bia and Pop pop and my Grandpa-pa Steve (who came for three whole days all by himself!) have taken good care of us over the last 2 weeks. Bia is staying for the rest of the month of May, and then our nanny Kendall starts on June 1st.
We'll try to get all these pictures from the end of maternity leave up today... we need to get caught up because TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY and I'm having a party this weekend so there will be a ton of new pictures to post.
