Hannah's 2nd Birthday

We had a fun time celebrating Hannah's 2nd birthday last week. We started the day by taking her to the doctor for her checkup. She weighs 25 lbs (40th percentile) and is 33" long (also 40th percentile). She's a healthy & happy girl!

That night, we had a birthday dinner for her. We fixed her favorites: grilled chicken, noodles with alfredo sauce & green beans. The kids were so excited to watch her open her gifts - especially Kate. She loves Elmo, so we thought we'd do an Elmo theme.

I wanted to try to make a fun cake for her, so when I found an Elmo mold, I decided to use it. It was really fun to make, it took a ton of time, but I thought it turned out cute. Hannah loved looking at it all day and kept saying "cake."



But then, it came time to light it.....









She kept saying "scary" and didn't want a thing to do with it. The other kids blew out the candles for her and then she only wanted icecream to eat. She is such a funny girl.


We love you Hannah!
