Last year was pretty low-key for Julesie's birthday, so this year since she actually got the concept of "Bird-day," we decided to celebrate it a lot, because we knew she would love every minute of it. We had a party with the Eynon side, and celebrated Kirra and Julia's birthday (they are only 362 days apart.) Then we had a party with the Christiansons, and celebrated Chelsea and Julia's birthday. On Julia's actual birthday, we went and saw the Winnie the Pooh movie, went to dinner, and of course had cake and ice cream and opened presents. She LOVED her birthday- with all the little parties she had, and all the cards that came in the mail (thank you family! It meant a lot to us!) she thought it was her bird-day for like a week straight. Actually, when I get the mail, she still says birthday, thinking there might be something in there for her:) It's crazy how cards are so cool to a two year old! She still takes her cards everywhere we go. The first time she blew out candles, she was scared- by the third time, she was a pro! If you ask her how old she is though, she'll tell you "Bird-day!" Needless to say, she had a good birthday. (PS- thank you grandma and grandpa! She loves the kitchen!!!! Haha I love that picture of her in her dress and heels.... she looks so domestic)
Some things I don't want to forget about this age:
-She is obsessed with any kind of bag or purse. She will not leave the house without something. Even if it's a grocery sack...
-She LOVES to dance, and has the best booty shake... she dances like she's doing the chicken dance.
-She is terrified of her big toy balls... she throws them in the bathroom every morning, and slams the door shut. If you bounce one of them, she will freak out. Haha
-She is also terrified of balloons. We had one get stuck in the fan and pop, and that was that.
-She is pretty much terrified of everything lately:)
-She is beginning to talk really well... every day she is saying new words... today we heard "animal" for the first time!
-Loves dress-up and princess movies. She is a total girl.
-Her favorite place in the world is for sure the beach here in Florida. That little fishy could swim all day in the waves.... she LOVES to swim.
Happy second birthday to our sweet little girl!
