Happy Birthday!

Today was your second birthday. We went to the park with Grammy this morning and then met daddy at chick-fil-a for lunch. You played some there and then went home to nap. Our neighbors, the Wetherington's, came by and gave you a birthday gift. I had cooked cupcakes last night and iced them and you helped me put the sprinkles on them. They were in a jar that you shake and you kept shaking it out and touching the cupcakes with it. We had chocolate icing everywhere! At dinner, we put two candles in the middle of the cupcake and you blew them out. You kept saying "more" wanting us to light them again. Then you just smashed the cupcake up and played with it. I think you had a pretty good birthday!

Missed Daddy

Daddy was gone all week last week on a business trip, so nana came and stayed with us. You have gotten so attached to daddy, I was really worried how you would take it. The first few days you yelled "dada" a lot. Then you got a little better. I think Nana took your mind off of it. Daddy got back late Friday night, so you didn't see him until Saturday morning. He went in your room to get you and he said you got really shy and started burying your head and smiling. Then you got all excited.
You spent the whole day with daddy. He took you to the heritage trail at the river and y'all rode bikes and played on the playground. Then he took you to Chick-fil-a for lunch and played some more. I am so glad you are getting so close to him!

Sticking food in your ears

You are at Nana's for a few days and Granny went to. Mama said y'all were sitting there eating lunch and you started sticking french fries in your ears. She said you wouldn't stop so she finally had to pop your hand. She said you just looked at her and stuck your bottom lip out like you might cry, but didn't. I think she felt worse about it than you did!

Scratch!

When I rock you at night before you go to bed, we talk and cut up some. Right before you start to wind down, you say Scratch and I scratch your back. You love it!

Monkey Joes

We took you to Monkey Joes yesterday. It is an indoor playground with inflatable slides and obstacle courses. At first you didn't want to get on anything. You clung to us. Well, daddy decided to get in with you and you warmed up. And boy, you warmed up! You had the best time! The only trouble was you couldn't climb to the top of the slides so daddy had to carry you up them. Some of them were really high. Daddy finally told you to hold on and you would get on his back and wrap your arms around his neck and he would take you up. Daddy was pouring sweat when you got done. This morning he could barely move he was so sore. But you had such a fantastic time it was worth it. You just ran around in circles and kept squeeling. Daddy said that everytime you would get to the top of the slide you would hug him and give him a kiss.
