Well look who is 2!

That is right my baby is now 2! It is amazing how fast the years fly by. Kate was very lucky in that we celebrated her birthday 3 times this year.

When my parents visited in the beginning of May we had a small family party for her.

Every year the girls get a new birthday hat.

Kate was spoiled by both set of grandparents! Kate had such a bad ear infection at the time and was kind of grumpy. She was very happy though when she got to open presents.

On her actual birthday June 2 we celebrated all day long. She got candles in her breakfast. She loves candles!

That night we went to dinner. Kate loved the brownie they gave her for her birthday. It was hard to sneak a bite.

Our last celebration was the next day June 3. We had a big BBQ with some of our amazing friends here. Kate loves having friends over. In fact it is usually the first thing she asks for in the morning.

When picking out her birthday cake, Kate insisted on getting one with a baby carriage. She loves playing with her babies. She is going to be a great big sister!

Things I love about Kater:

She is very independent. Loves to be a big kid.

She is very loving. She loves to give hugs and cuddle. She often says "I love you 200!"

She is very expressive and talkative. I am amazed at her vocabulary.

Kate is still a great napper. She sleeps 2 plus hours at nap time.

Kate loves to play in the water.

Kate loves to dance and sing. All the time!

Kate is generally happy happy. She loves to be silly and laugh.

Kate loves to ride her bike and scouter.

Kate is a ray of sunshine with lights in her eyes! I just love that I get to be her mother.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!
