The Birthday Week Continues . . . Lydia Turns 2!

Having my girls birthday exactly a week apart can be a little stressful but a lot of fun! Since most of Lydia's friends are Abigale's friends younger siblings- It was just a week long party for both of them! We decided to keep it very simple and took Lydia to Chuck E. Cheese and invited some friends to join us. I think she was a little young and we had to force her on a few rides to enjoy them but we had a great time!

This is while everyone sang Happy Birthday to her (so excited because Happy Birthday is one of her favorite songs):

After we wore the kids out- we were brave enough to go to some stores and out to dinner with friends. Luckily, it turned out fine and we all had a great time. We then headed back to our house to open presents. At this point Lydia was a little tired, so we saved a few presents for another time (Christmas!)
This was by far her favorite present! First, the princess pajamas she insisted on changing into as soon as she opened them but when she opened the Barney doll it was priceless! She LOVES Barney (luckily, I dont mind him too much and she has learned a lot from some of his movies). The toy plays his "I love you song" and as soon as I started playing it she just sang right along and carries him around everywhere ever since! We love you so much Lydia! You definitely bring a lot of personality to our family! You are either the entertainer trying to make everyone laugh or the drama queen finding ways to get mommy to hold you! My favorite thing you say right now is before you start a sentence you say, "Momma, you want to know what . . . (Abigale hit me, I saw a dog, I am hungry, etc)" It is so cute! Like I mentioned, you love Barney but also The Wiggles and as soon as you wake up you ask to watch a show. You are Abigale's little shadow and get so excited when she lets you play with her. You still are a great sleeper- sleeping 12 hours at night and a 2-3 hour nap everyday. You still need those naps or else you are very grumpy but otherwise you always have a smile on your face. We love you so much!
