Kailey turned 2 on March 30 and with this milestone came a new sense of maturity. We had many "firsts" occur on her actual birthday. Instead of a quiet, mellow car ride to the gym, Kailey talked and talked and sang and asked questions, she even demanded a few things. Wow- who is this child, I thought. Of course, it's my new 2-year-old. When we arrived at the Kids Club where Kailey plays, she did not fuss or cling to me as she often does. For the first time ever, she went straight to the picnic table, planted herself in the middle of the other kids, took out her snack and started eating. As I stood in shock & joy, Kailey turned to me and said "huggy, huggy." I gave her a hug and she said "bye-bye" as if to let me know that it was time for me to leave now. Wow- this 2-year-old stuff is the real deal!!!
We had a family party at home to celebrate and invited over our friends, The Phillip's to join us.
Whether on purpose or by accident, Kailey's toe landed a scoop of frosting on it and she was more than happy to lick it off:)
Here's Kailey trying to blow out her candles with chocolate frosting fingers still in her mouth. You can see that Ashlyn is trying help from beside her.
Riley, Ashlyn and Kailey enjoying their cupcakes!
Yum, yum good!
Here's Ashlyn giving Kailey a ride in her new baby wagon from Gramie & Grampie.
The wagon is meant for baby dolls, but this is much more fun!
