My baby is 2!!!!

Haylee turned 2 last Friday and we had a whirlwind of a weekend with birthday festivities. Friday night we had some friends over for a bbq and Haylee (with lots of help from her friend Evey) opened more gifts than any 2 year old could ever need. They were too much fun to watch! Then we cut into the beautiful Minnie Mouse cake that Catherine and I made and let Haylee dig into her little cake. We were once again hoping that she would get all messy with it but she quickly informed us that it was too messy and requested a fork...She did at least mutilate the cake and we got some good pictures of that.
The next morning we headed to Banham zoo with Lynda and Evey and the girls had a blast seeing all the animals. They are quite the pair, they always have to hold hands when they walk together and they always want to do what the other is doing. After about 5 hours at the zoo (I am very proud that at 37 weeks pregnant I can still do that much walking!) we headed home and relaxed for the evening. I think all the excitement finally hit Haylee on Sunday night and she passed out at 6:30pm and didn't wake up until 7 the next morning! And on top of that, she took a 2 hour nap, a rare occurrence these days.

It still hasn't sunk in that my baby just turned 2 and I'm not sure I'm ready for it to...I think having the new baby on the way is helping me accept her growing up a little. Her 2 year checkup was this morning and everything is great! She is above average with her development and is 23lbs and 33 inches long. She seems to be getting taller but doesn't stop long enough to gain any weight! She is speaking in full sentences when she wants to and every morning I wake up to her yelling "Done in bed mommy, done in bed!!" There's definitely not a dull moment around our house!

Jadyn should be here in the next couple weeks and although no one thinks she will last until my due date, I'm really hoping she waits until my mom gets here on the 16th! I am GIGANTIC and ready to be done but it makes me kinda sad thinking about this pregnancy being over. I've really tried to enjoy it since I know how small of a part of parenthood it really is and it has been worth every moment of discomfort. We will keep you updated as my due date gets closer and we will soon have pictures of our new little miracle!!!
