Lexi's second birthday

We celebrated Lexi's birthday last Saturday before the dance recital.  She wanted a Thomas the Train birthday theme, so while she was down for her nap, I decorated the cake and put up a banner and some balloons.  When she woke and saw all the Thomas stuff that was for her birthday, she was so excited.  I think she really enjoyed being the center of attention, and kept saying "My birthday!", "My Thomas!", "My balloons!".  It was all really cute!

Cam's family came for the party.  We had pizza, opened presents, then had some cake, and Lexi enjoyed every minute of it.

My pathetic attempt at a Thomas cake

What's Lexi up to:

• She is talking so much!  It's just really hard to understand her.
• Some of our favorite phrases:  "Ohhh, cool!"   "Hey buddy" (talking to Colton)  Cam always asks her if she is cheeky (from Thomas) and she say's "Not cheeky!"
• She loves Thomas the Train (obviously)
• She loves playing with Abby and Abby's friends
• She is the messiest, sloppiest eater I've ever seen
• She loves to dance, just like Abby
• She's becoming one stubborn little girl
• She happily plays by herself (I think that comes with the being a middle child) but really enjoys it when some one will play with her
• She loves to sing "Popcorn Popping" and "The Wheels on the Bus"
• She loves going to nursery (finally) and the daycare at the gym.
• Over Thanksgiving break, she had her first sleepover at Grandma's house, and LOVED it!
• She's the pickiest eater.  She loves pizza, chicken nuggets, waffles, and pancakes.  All the healthy stuff :)

Lexi is such a happy, easy going girl.  She makes me laugh all the time, and I am loving the sweet little girl she's growing up to be.

Happy Birthday Lexi!
