Happy Birthday Kendall!

Happy 2nd Birthday, sweet girl! We can't believe it's been two whole years since we got to see you for the first time! You bring us so much joy every day and we love seeing all the new things you are learning. You are so smart and so funny and we laugh so much at our house! Soon you will be a big sister and we think you are going to be great at it!!
Here is how we spent your second birthday!
Wednesday night after dinner we made cookies to take to your class to help celebrate your birthday. You had so much fun putting them on the cookie sheet with Daddy and then watching them bake.



No, it was not warm outside. You got this cute summer outfit from Sarah Grace and when I tried it on you that morning to see if it fit, you didn't want to take it off! I think your favorite part was the pockets on the front of the skirt. When you got fruit snacks when you pottied you kept putting them in your pockets. :)

I love those little feet folded up under you!
Thursday morning when you got to school, there was a present for you: your teacher Mrs. Lindsey got you some new Minnie Mouse panties! You were pretty excited. You made us take your elmo panties off that you had on and put on some of your new ones. Mrs. Lindsey said that several times that morning when she took you to the potty you saw your new panties and gave her a big hug!
I got to come to your class and be there when you and your friends had your birthday cookies. Your friends sang "Happy Birthday" to you and of course you pretended to blow out the candles - even though you didn't have any today!
You sat next to Connor at lunch and ate your cookies together. You just love that Connor! In this picture you were telling me you had "cookies!!"


After school we went home and you took a nap. I had to wake you up early though because later that afternoon we went to see Dr. B for your 2 year check-up! Here you are in the waiting room drinking your juice.
You did NOT like seeing Dr. B. You didn't talk to him at all and sat in my lap the whole time. He checked you out though and said everything looks great! You already have your 2 year molars and we didn't even know! You weigh 32 pounds, which is still above the 95th percentile, and you are 36 inches tall, which is also still above the 95th percentile! Still a big girl! Dr. B was impressed that you are already potty trained - he told me to enjoy no diapers for a few more months! He was excited to learn that you are going to be a big sister and can't wait to meet your new baby.
You did have to get a shot and you didn't like that. But, when we left you got a Mickey Mouse sticker and that made you happy! You told me to put it on your leg, and I thought that was weird, but I did it because you were so sad.

So when we got in the car, you showed me your Mickey Mouse sticker and your bandaid where you got your shot. You were already better by then!
We went home and met Daddy and you got to go to "Chick-a-lay" for dinner! You kept telling me the whole way home that you wanted to eat that, so we had to go! You didn't eat much, but you did get to have some birthday...

...ice cream!!

After we got home, I had to go to church and get ready for our women's retreat this weekend, so you got to spend the evening just you and Daddy. What a good end to a great day!!
We love you precious girl! Happy Birthday!!
