CarliAnn Turns 2!

I can't believe my baby is 2! She is so big! She is wearing 2T-3T clothes, loves to eat, play with the big kids, and talk! Yep she's my daughter!! I love it when she is running next me while I exercises and repeatedly says "I'm running" She also amazed us that she is the first of our kids at this age who can say her "L"s and "R"s perfectly although she does have an adorable lisp. I love to hear her say "I'm finithed" when she is done eating.

For her birthday we had a little party with Grandma's and Grandpa's and our friends the Hansen's. Jarin's parents got her a new baby doll that babbles and moves and sucks a bottle, she loves it and tries to share her fruit snacks with it. My parents got her new books and a fishy toy, she loves book and even carried the Elmo one with her to exercising over at the church, she wouldn't put it down. The Hansen's got her Blue's Clue's dolls that play hide and go seek, she loves them! She doesn't seem to favor any gift over another, she goes from one to the next all day long.

We got her an alphabet fridge toy, and a new trike that even we can steer, unfortunately it is a little big for her still and she fell of the first night, luckily it was on the carpet. For now though it won't be going outside to the cement though, don't want to see her fall out there!

We got some video of her and her cake, so cute, she was enjoying tasting it but then we put candles on it and lit them up, she didn't like that at all!! Then when I tried to show her how to blow out the candles she was scared by the smoke!

And lastly, when she first went to open her presents instead of opening them she walked around bowing with a huge fake laugh! We tried to get it on video but it didn't work, I did at least get these pictures, none of us could figure out what she was doing, it was really funny.

Then before Uncle Karl left he was playing the piano, she loves to play and so she climbed up next to him to play too.
