Cecelia's 2nd Birthday

On Wednesday, we celebrated Cece's 2nd birthday!  As I say on every birthday for the girls, the past year has flown by.  Seriously, how is my baby now a toddler? She's sassy, stubborn, and is usually up to no good but man, am I sucker when she flashes her sweet little smile.  We had her 2 year well visit yesterday and she's perfectly healthy and growing like a weed.  She grew 4 inches in 6 months and jumped from the 50th percentile for height to the 90th percentile!  I had noticed recently that she seems the same height or even taller than other kids who are older than her but didn't really think she was that tall.  Our pediatrician said people will probably mistake her for being older than she actually is right now because she's so tall.

Todd was off work on her birthday so he took the girls to Duck Donuts for breakfast and then to the zoo for a few hours.  Once I got home from work at lunchtime, Lucy & I ran out to pick up some cupcakes for after dinner since we're making a big cake for Cece's party on Saturday.  After Cece was up from her nap, we just played at home, ate dinner, opened presents, and had cupcakes.

The girls watching them make their donuts

Both girls picked sprinkles but Cece also wanted powdered sugar

 Delicious!

Train ride at the zoo (by the way, props to Todd for fixing the girls hair that morning--they weren't up yet when I left for work so Todd was in charge of pony tails)

She loves the penguins

Birthday girl!

Lucy watching Cece and getting excited for what new toys they'd have to play with

Lucy picked out an American Girl outfit to give to Cece because it was a flamingo bathing suit and Cece's birthday party is flamingo themed

Apparently Cece thought the outfit was for her and she tried to put it on

Cece's become obsessed with Moana since Lucy did a Moana dance camp last month so she was so excited for this talking and singing Moana doll (and as of last night, I believe we've heard the Moana song play no less than 75 times)

Didn't take her long to find the button to push

My aunt & uncle also sent her this adorable Anna costume since that's also her favorite Disney princess

This pretty much sums it up--everyone is looking at the camera except Cece who cannot take her eyes off the cupcake
