Turning Two Makes Her Giggle

I woke up this morning to hear TJ singing “Happy Birthday” to Leighton who was still in her crib.  Then I heard the giggling.  :-)  TJ asked her if it was her birthday and she declared her silly, “Noooooooo!”  (This is a very silly “no” with lots of smiles).  TJ continued, “are you two?”  and the response. . . “Nooooooo!”  She continued these “no’s” all day.  :-)  And every time one of us sang to her, you heard giggles.

Her sisters were very anxious to get her started with presents and all the birthday treats they could think of.  Cousin Malaine was over yesterday and made her an Elmo paper bag puppet.  They let her open that right away.  :-)

What other thing would a giggly two year old Leighton want to do right away??  “Mommy, watch Elmo??”  Of course!! 

We had the perfect birthday dress from Nana and as soon as I showed it to her to wear she squealed with delight and kicked off Adley’s flip flops as fast as she could.  :-)

Here she is with her cupcake dress and her rain boots she ran to put on after she got her dress on.  

What did you just say about my outfit?

“Here is Elmo!”

“Elmo funny!”

Jaylyn got a good close-up with the camera.  :-)

She also got some nice action shots. . .

Then we had to go to Walmart and Jaylyn said it just wasn’t right that I am making her go to Walmart on her birthday.  :-)  But, after Leighton saw lots of babies at Walmart, I told Jaylyn it was a perfect treat for her.  Leighton cracked us up after one baby. She said, “She sooo cute!”.

Then it was off to lunch with Daddy to Incredible Pizza.  (Selected by the sisters, of course)

Leighton enjoyed her food the most out of everyone.  

Cram it in! (as usual)

And don’t miss what is on tv!

Then it was off to games.  It was a little sad to see how big she was acting.  She mimics and repeats everything her big sisters do and say.  So, Adley says, “I wanna do that” and . . . so does Leighton!  She seemed to know exactly what to do on everything.  They played lots of games and rode the horsie a LOT!

Am I supposed to like this?

Yes! This is fun!

I think I like this too.

Sisters!

Then what else can you do on a two-year-old birthday?  Lots of sister play time, dinner and time for birthday treat!

Jaylyn had a great idea to make cookie ice cream sandwiches.  Sounded good to me!

A little tricky getting the candles in.  :-)

As soon as we started singing, she started blowing out the candles!

This is fun!

I did it!

Time to eat!

Yummy!

Great idea Jaylyn.  :-)

Then . . . a present!

Her sisters were just as excited.

I love it!

I think she may have picked up a little dare-devil skills at the circus.

Happy Birthday, Leighton!
