We can't stop her

No matter how hard Dan and I try, we can't stop Mya from growing up. She officially turned two this weekend! She had an amazing weekend full of family, presents, cake, and just being adored! Here are some photos of our special girl and her "hatday" as she calls it. The first pic is of Reggie. I love his little outfit that his grandma got him. He was such a good boy all weekend and didn't even mind sharing attention with his big sis.

This is the first picture of Mya getting up on her birthday. There were yellow balloons, at her request, in the living room when she first got up. I love that her hair looks like alfalfa!

After we slicked her hair down and put on her party outfit, she carried her balloons around looking like a clown. It was adorable!

Here she is blowing out her number 2 candle on her Elmo cake! She blew it out like a pro! I didn't get a great picture of her while we were singing to her, but believe me, she thoroughly enjoyed it. She just loves the spotlight!

And after everyone went home, here's how she sat for quite a while, playing with her new Elmo Live doll. It was telling her a story and she just sat there so nicely listening to him. I'll admit, even Dan and I were entertained by Elmo. It's amazing how advanced toys are these days! She was spoiled by all the great gifts she got!
Happy birthday my little baby girl. Daddy and I love you and are blessed by you everyday! You bring a love to our lives that we never even knew existed!

Quick update

I would have posted sooner, but my camera has had some problems and I had to buy a new charger. Anyway, here are just a couple of pictures of the last few weeks and I'll have more to come soon. Below is a picture of little Reggie. This is how he looks most of the day right now. He's such a good boy; he eats well, sleeps well, and is usually just a pretty calm baby.
The next two pics are of Mya on Halloween. She was a butterfly and had a great time. She loved seeing all the kids come to the door all dressed up.
We only went to a couple of houses because Mya really didn't like it as much as we thought she would plus it was cold. Oh well, there's always next year!
Overall, things are going well at our house. The sleep deprivation is just now getting to me and I find myself desperately waiting for Mya's nap time so I can take a quick snooze on the couch too. Dan just started basketball practice today, so he'll be gone until 6:00 every night. So Mya and I will be finding lots of fun things to do in the late afternoon/early evening for the next few months to keep us busy and avoid boredom. Anyway, that's what we've been up to. I'll update again as soon as I can find the energy/motivation. :)
