Annabell has had a great birthday and she is officially 2!!! It is really weird because all of a sudden her brain has just "clicked" and she is doing so much. Vocabulary is off the charts. One of my favorites today was when she said "mommy" so that I would let her out of her room after her nap, and I said "just a minute" because we were rushing to get the cameras for her to see her new gift from Big Pop and Maamaa. She yelled "Mommy, open the door!", it cracked us up. She also now says "Yessss" and really pronounces the s sound, which also makes me laugh. She is growing so tall, she has the longest skinny little legs. She is tall enough for bigger sizes, but is too skinny to wear them. Every kid that plays with her assumes she is older because of her size, but she is still our iddy bitty little girl to me and Daddy!
Oh, she has learned the color "Pink", she knows that she is "two" and according to her, mommy is "four". She prays for everyone in the family...even those she doesn't see very often. She can draw a pretty recognizable circle and knows she is doing so, and points out the star shape when she sees it. She pretend writes like "mommy".
We had Annabell's birthday party on June 13th because her PaPa was in town, and since he lives in TN we thought it would be nice for him to get to be there, which it was.
She had way too many gifts this year. Don't get me wrong, we were VERY thankful for everything, but Brad doesn't want her to expect things, so we will probably try to keep it more low key next year...who knows though. My mom and dad always made birthdays so special for us that I really want to continue the tradition. So today, I kept saying, "this is your birthday!!!" ect...she ate it up.
Well I have put in pictures from her birthday party and her mini party today.
For her actual birthday today I took her to the park and to Chic-Fil-A with her brother and cousin. She had a blast. We were at Chic-Fil-A for 2 1/2 hours. It was fun. Tonight we had small group at our house so she got to play with all the kids at the park for another 2 hours...she is worn out! Something that you might notice on the video is that on both days of her partys, when we sang "Happy Birthday To You" she became shy and tried to hide. It's funny how kids just have that happen to them, a kind of awareness. Really boggeling. It's neat to think back to her first birthday and then to now. She has changed so much, she now uses a fork, talks to us completely, and looks like a little girl instead of a baby, it just amazes me. Oh and you can also hear her say yes ma'am. A lot of times it is unsolicited. I really enjoy hearing her manners! She also says "Bless you" when someone sneezes.
At the party she had two helpers, Rebecka and Mikayla, but they became a little excited and started to open gifts as well which was fine, except we didn't see who gave her what, so thank you to everyone, even if we don't know exactly who gave which gift.
I think I'll let the pictures speak for the rest of the birthday extavaganza...love y'all!
