The Big 2!

Our little baby girl is 2 years old today! I can't believe it. For some reason being the mother of a 2 year old just sounds weird to me. It still amazes me some days that I am a mom...let alone that I have been doing this for 2 years already. She just makes my life so complete it is amazing. She is such a fun little girl....I can't get enough of her.
On Saturday we had a party down at the park for her. She woke up Sat morning not feeling too well and with a bit of a fever. But she was a total stud and made it through her whole party and was in good spirits. There were a few moments that she looked like she was feeling misserable, but she kept on going and having a good time.
She was able to call her birthday her "Happy Day" which was really cute. I don't know that she understands what a "Birthday" actually is, but she knew that everyone was there for her and she had a good time with it.
She passed out in the car on the way home and woke up a few hours later throwing up. I felt so sad for her. It was our first time ever having her throw up and she looked very scared and confused by what was going on. I was amazed at how easy it was to let my little girl vomit all over me and not be grossed out by it at all. I was just sad for her. It's not fair that she had to be sick on the day of her party.
I just love my daughter so much and am so proud to be called her mother. It is amazing how much she has grown/learned/matured in the last year. I feel so lucky to spend every day with her, watching her develop into her own little person.
We love you so much Makenna. Happy Birthday! You will always be our baby!

Makenna and her Gram (they look Soooo much alike, I love it!)


Kenna and her Papa goofing around together.

Getting shy while everyone sang to her. This is the second year she would not eat her birthday cake :( My kid is weird!I guess watching a two year old open gifts is not That compelling to some :)



Makenna LOVES her Uncle "Bickey" and Auntie "Rah Rah"

How we ended the evening....throwing up and with a fever. Poor kiddo.

Happy Birthday my little buddy Mae Moe!!! I LOVE YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO.....(you get the point) MUCH! Makenna is seriously a little angel that has blessed our whole entire family! I love her so much! I am so glad that we got to be there for her "happy day" and I am so sad that it ended so sad. She sure was a champ though at that party even when she looked like she was not feeling too hot! Happy Birthday my little studette!

What a wonderful day it was celebrating Makenna's B-Day and celebrating her life too. What a bunble of joy she is. I enjoyed playing with her we had fun together. She is such a little social butterfly and a cute on too. Sorry to hear that she got sick on her special day but mommy and daddy were there to help her and love her that makes being sick bearable :O(

Little McKenna, sorry we missed the birthday, but Happy Bithday anyway! You're the big 2, remember, they don't have to be the "terrible 2's"
Amanda, I'm so behind on the blogs, Happy day to you, now you have a 2 year old and almost another one. She's a beautiful little girl!! I wish we lived closer so our girls could play together and we could go to their birthday parties! So sad, maybe another life time, because with the way Cali is sounding, we probably won't ever end up oon that Liberal state. :(
