Birthday Girl!

I can't believe this little princess is 2 years old today. There is no doubt that she makes life so much fun. We are loving watching her grow up and learn new things everyday.

Cams has been practicing blowing out her candles all week. At random moments she would take a deep breat and blow out and say "blowing out candles". All the practice paid off cause she blew out her real candle in one try.
She loved having everyone sing to her and would pipe in on the words "Happy Birthday to You!" It always amazes me just how much she understands and remembers.

This would be "Toodles". If you have ever seen Mickey Mouse Clubhouse you know what it is. If not, it might look a little like a radioactive device.
Cambri is obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. When asked who she wanted to have come to her birthday party she would reply, "Daisy, Donald, Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy".
I enjoy making the fun birthday cakes but I sure hope one day they are appreciated because they take forever! I thought this one would be quick and easy...not the case. The shape was easy to achieve but frosting it took way longer than I thought it would. But Cams loved her Toodles cake and was super excited to dig into it...at least the frosting. She licked all the frosting off the cake and then put her piece back on the pan and asked for another one. Even if she doesn't realize the effort that goes into her cakes, it is worth it to see her so happy.
Opening presents was lots of fun since she got so excited about each one. I know it is hard to see, but Cams finally has enough hair that I was able to do some fun stuff with it today. I know most kids can do this on their first birthday, but we will just appreciate that her hair is finally growing.

Little George helped us celebrate. The two of them loved all the new toys.
We really are so blessed to have this little girl in our lives.
A few fun things about Cambri at 2 years old-
Is a momma's girl.
But is way more wild and playful with her daddy. As soon as he walks through the door at the end of the day she turns into a crazy child.
Loves to "hide" under the piano. Sometimes we eat our breakfast while "hiding" under the piano. And then we read books under the piano. And play with toys. She would spend all day under the piano if mommy would stay there with her.
Eats ketchup by the spoonful.
Is a great eater, but would live on yogurt, tortillas and cheese if allowed.
Has been potty trained for about a month and loves to wear multiple pairs of underwear at the same time, or run around naked.
Takes after her dad and loves to sleep. It will be a sad day when her 3 hour afternoon nap goes away.
No is definitely her favorite word.
Throws a fit when I try to take a picture of her.
LOVES pink.
LOVES makeup.
LOVES jewelry.
LOVES having her toenails painted.
Hates when her hands are dirty.
Obviously is a girly girl, and I LOVE it!
Does not like to share.
Loves to swing at the park, and is dealthy afraid of going down the slide unless mom and dad go with her.
We love everything about her be it naughty or nice:).
