Emily's 2nd Birthday

Emily turned two at the end of July and we had a lot of fun celebrating this milestone with friends and family.  It's amazing to see how much she's grown over the past two years and how quickly she has moved from baby to toddler.  Her vocabulary has exploded in the past few months...in fact she talks all the time these days.  She is also very insistent on doing things for herself, "I do it," she often says and doesn't seem to shy away from anything.  :-)  She loves her baby dolls, jumping on her Dora bouncy ball, and reading books.  She's so much fun to be with and makes you smile even when she's doing something she's not supposed to be doing. 


Here are some pictures from both birthday celebrations we had.  The first one was just a small family affair with a special dinner and cupcakes.  The other pictures are from her Sesame Street party we had with the rest of the family.

A special breakfast supper...complete with birthday pancakes!

Emily is definitely a cutie! I don't think she is going to let much stop her and she does EVERYTHING on the run.

Loved the photos and the party. It's fun seeing her develop her independence and desire to do things herself. And I LOVE her smile. Hopefully those "miles of smiles" will become a trademark of hers.

She is just a real doll and is growing up way too fast.
