My little one you are such a big girl now!!! Happy Birthday and what a beautiful birthday weekend it was. Let me start by sharing we had a huge pool party for you the first weekend of August. I was worried about the weather because of last year's party and it all worked out! It was the most beautiful day. I'd say we had close to 80 people come share a morning of swimming, pizza, jimmy johns, and the most amazing cake I have ever seen; all there to celebrate you! You had such a great time and were very well-behaved. You did a good job saying " thank you" to everyone and eating all your cake! You received so many awesome presents and Charli had a great time helping you open them the next day. That was quite a feat having her last overnight without opening gifts. I think your favorite gifts were a baby doll and baby doll stroller(Charli loved all the My little Pony goods). You definitely love playing mommy and holding your babies, swaddling them, strollering them around, and of course changing their diapers! We celebrated as a family on your real birthday and kicked off the weekend with Uncle Eric's first win as Head Football Coach, TOUCHDOWN!!!! You love to do that with your hands and I am so relieved each time we get to do it. ROW THE BOAT BABY! There was a slight change this year in regards to the 2016 football season, you were afraid of Mr. Hawk, I mean tears, complete fear, you held me so tight and we had to walk quite a distance away so I told you he was sleeping and we made sure to avoid him for the rest of the night. You have continued to let us know, "Hawk sleeping" all week so we will try it again on Friday.
For you "Real birthday" on Sunday it was a gorgeous day, we went out for dinner to cook in front of you and everyone sang and you blew out your candles and attacked your special dessert; we also took some family photos on the bridge for the first time since we moved in 2010. Then on Monday at Kathy's you were able to celebrate again. I think you love the birthday song and I can see you mouthing the words as everyone sings. Kathy had a cupcake and candles for you and all your friends sang the video is precious with you in your pig tail buns. Kathy does a great job of giving you a different hair style each day. You are just so animated and so stinkin' cute. I think you have done a good job with learning how to blow your candles out, next year we will teach you to make a wish. We also took your 2nd birthday and family photos over the weekend to commemorate this feat, and what a ham you were, the pictures speak volumes of your enormous personality.
WE still can't kick the woobie and still can't figure out the crib. You know what???? Having you lay in the bed is just fine, waking up to your face- does it get any better? Your vocabulary continues to increase but your favorite word is still, "yeah." You are just so cute Danica truly you are so funny! You have the cutest little legs, big blue eyes, and a slight flip to the bottom of your ever-changing brownish hair. You are extremely strong and continue to get yourself in to anything. Just like your sister you love make-up and lipstick which you lovingly refer to as "stick." Then there is Milky and woobie, and of course strolly I don't want to take the -ie out of your vocabulary little Rudabega! I know you are Kathy's favorite, of course right!
Outings as a family to restaurants have started to become a not so good idea with you and your sister and the ants in your pants, however it is so worth taking you to "moosey" just to hear you yell moosey and watch the moose dance.Watching you dance and shake your bunnies is such a treat. The interaction between you and Charli is awesome, you two just giggle and laugh and role play and dance and do gymnastics, the unbreakable bond has formed. We are so lucky! It is great watching you use your keys and talk on your phone and have the ability to use your imagination and it is even better to see the sense of humor you have. I love when you face time Famma you just love to be the center of attention and be busy. Oh and yes, brush your teeth :)
Lately you have been letting us know Grandpa is around. It is such a weird phenomenon that you would say something like that and with such conviction. I sure do hope so because boy would you have melted his heart, I think he is so in your spirit! I don't think he'd know what to do with you- but I can tell you with all my heart that your Grandpas and Grandma in Heaven love you and your sister more than anything and would have given anything to meet you. You never have to be alone because they are always with you and around you and if you ever need to just pull on your heart string, we are ALL always with you.
Happy 2nd Birthday my little Miracle, keep growing like a weed and keep your wonder and humor, I am so looking forward to the year ahead and all the mischievous things you will do to keep me nad you Dad on our toes. 2 year Doctor appointment Friday. I will update then!
