Tia Turned Two

We can't believe our baby turned 2 this week! She is getting so big! It's amazing what a two year old can say and do...she cracks us up!

Here's an update on our little Tia:

1. She can say sentences up to 8 words long.

2. She DOESN'T want to be potty trained, but DOES use the toilet once a day or when she is supposed to be in bed and is trying to get out of sleeping.

3. She's in love with Dora the Explorer.

4. She cut up her Binky the day after her birthday and hasn't had it since...however, she's horrible at going to sleep now-it takes FOREVER!

5. She named her baby doll ABCD this week (because that's all she hears her older brother saying).

6. She LOVES cheese! She'll use the same chip over and over just to scoop out the cheese dip and lick it.

7. She loves jumping...on beds, trampolines, off curbs, etc.

8. Her favorite color is pink.

9. She can count to 10, say some of her ABC's, and is fabulous at doing wooden puzzles.

10. She gives GREAT hugs and kisses.

We love you Tia! Happy Birthday!

Opening Presents

Thanks Aspen & Sage for these cute dolls!

"BOOTS" (Dora's monkey) and some fun clothes from family!

Tia was so excited to have a "Dora & Diego Castle" Pinata. She couldn't wait to break it open!

Tia hitting the pinata--softly.

(Thanks Aunt Tera for the cute birthday outfit!)

Jayden hitting the pinata. (This was one tough pinata...luckily the neighbor girl broke it open first so that the Jayden could get a good wack out of it.)

Tia's "Princess" cupcakes that Jayden helped us decorate...Yes family...they are SPICE cupcakes :) I can't do a birthday party without Spice cake-love it!

We didn't do a big party, but we had a few neighbors over for cupcakes & icecream. It was nice! Thanks guys for celebrating with us!

"Happy Birthday to me!"
