Avery's 2nd Birthday

Our little girl is already 2. Time has gone by so fast with her and I can't believe that she is already a toddler, who talks and has tons of her own ideas. We love her so much and can't imagine our family without her.


She has really been eating a lot lately and now weighs in at 27lbs and is 34 inches tall
She talks a lot and is now putting together simple sentences
She loves movies, her favorites right now are Finding Nemo, Elmo's ABCs, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse She still absolutely loves doggies (we even considered getting one for her birthday)
She just started using the potty and already doesn't want to keep her diaper on

For her actual birthday, it was just me and her hanging out all day.  She opened some presents in the morning and then we went out.  We met Daddy for lunch and as a special surprise we went to the puppy shop and had them pull out a doggie in a room for us to play with.  I have pics to post but I haven't downloaded them yet from my other camera. 

 

On the Saturday after her birthday we decided to have my family over to celebrate with us.  We had a lunch, opened some presents and of course had some cake too!

Fun presents to open for the birthday girl.

Grandma Sandy (and uncles and aunts) gave her a kitchen she absolutely loves playing with.

Birthday cake and icecream, even though she wouldn't blow out the candle since she is still terrified of fire.
