Guess what my friend Hartley says? She says that if you're careful, and you eat you eat your veggies and be quiet when you get time out, then sometimes you can get an extra birthday party for your birthday! No one told me that, but I guess I got a couple of parties anyway, since Grandma and Pop pop like to celebrate with me at their house in Florida before I go home at Christmas.
It's fun to be two!



I had so much fun at Hartley's birthday party. So did Marina. I think she had just as much fun as us big kids!


I also had fun this week going to the park with my good friends Jack and Katie. Jack and Katie always go to the park with Marina and me. Jack told me that he's moving away soon. He pointed out the direction he was going here, but Katie and I don't think we can get there from here. We're sort of little still....

It's going to be very sad when he leaves. He's in my class with Mrs. Nicky and Mrs. Kelly at Trinity too, and I know it won't be the same without him! I'll try to be strong and get through it with some help from Katie and the playground equipment.


Luckily for me, Mallory comes with her mommy Heather to see me a few mornings during the week when Mommy has to work.


And of course, I have my cousin Michaela, who loves me very much. My Uncle David turns a number I can't even count to yet on Monday, so he came over with Aunt Ann and Michaela to eat some supper and cake for his birthday!

Yummy cake!

Oh no, SUGAR CRASH!

As you can see, Mina is getting very good at sitting it her high chair. She eats some veggies now with her rice and sometimes, she even eats some oatmeal!


While she's learning to eat, I'm working on drinking from my big girl cup!
Yay big girl cup!!

And I'm also learning how to be very brave and go down very fast slides, like this one we found at Meredith's Spring Fling on Saturday! Woo Hoo!


Don't these two look guilty? I bet they're up to something!
