Happy Birthday Darling!!

Yesterday, my baby turned 2!

How fast the time flies.

She had a great day, except for the baking cake process. I called my friend, Lisa, who sweetly let me borrow her cake pan and a few colors last minute. Darling loved the pan, hugging it and carrying it around. She had to hug it and then kiss it before letting it go.

I took Darling with when we went to the dentist. Dot put the cake in (I got it all ready before we left.) so it would bake while we were gone. When we got home and I took the cake out. Darling was so upset that it was upside down! Finally I took the cake out of the pan. She was so happy with it!

Then I cut off its ears and put it in the freezer. She was horrified!! Finally I just took it back out until Deer had her distracted enough that I could return it. (I like to chill the cake, so it is firmer when I decorate it.)

Well, then I went to decorate it. She watched me put the frosting on the face. Her face was one of "I don't like this." The kids told her the bear was hiding, and Mommy was decorating it, and that she'd like it.

She finally said, "Peek-a-boo?" "Yes!" I assured her.

The decorating process took too long, but company arrived. She enjoyed the cake. When Papa tried to look at it, she told him, "Don't touch!" Daddy helped her by getting her spoon after pictures so that she could taste the cake in the back. That helped so she was willing to take a piece and let everyone else have a piece.

40 pictures (exaggerating) later and the "best ones" are not exactly posed.

She loves to lick the ice-cream lids. Of course, on her birthday she got to lick all she wanted! Papa tried to get a turn, but "No! Papa!" was all he got.

Papa helped her to do "2".

Opening presents was fun!

She would look intently at the cards while they were read, and then dump them on the floor. lol.

She got clothes, a book, and a cute towel!!

She had opened our gift to her a week before the date. She found Baby Moses in our closet. Instead of listening to cries, we decided to just let her have it early. She's had a blast taking a bath with a baby. It is a drink and wet doll, so could go into the tub. Such a cute face!! I'll take a picture of her with it sometime soon. It looks like a boy, and since it goes in the water, we decided to call him, Moses. :-)

Happy Birthday, Sweet Daughter!! We Love You!
