Happy Birthday Kali!!

Well, it happened! She turned two... she is no longer a baby. Kali Ruth is officially a big girl toddler. Since turning 2 on September 5, 2008 at 4:10 am, she has been so lively and well, sassy is for sure the word. She is having full on conversations with everyone and I love it! She plays with her babies: feeding them, trying to change their diapers, and putting them to sleep. When did this transformation happen? I'm sad that she is growing up so fast but at the same time so very excited to see how she grows and changes over the years. Happy Birthday Kali!!
Aunt Traci was bidding for the favorite gift again. Last year she got Kali a little rocking pony that sings when you pinch it's ears. Kali still runs to it and wants to ride it. Here is the Dora Playhouse... she LOVES IT! As you can see she is trying to get inside of it through the front door.
Grandma Coldwell surprised us with the crib that her grandpa made her when she was 2. Then me and my sisters played with it when we were little. Now that I have a little one it was time to pass it on! Mom played a trick on me saying that she couldn't find the crib and that she thought that Dad had thrown it away. She brought it out when we started opening presents... it was a wonderful surprise! I have memories of tucking out kitty into this crib in the basement when we first moved to Missouri... I hope she loves it as much as I always did! Thanks Mom and Dad!!

I had her interested in opening presents for a few minutes.
Then it was back to playing with her babies! Kaelyn and I opened up most of Kali's presents ourselves. Kali is very easily distracted by her babies!!
Look at her dress. Nana Foley made it for her. See the big pink buttons? They are Kali's favorite part. She pinches them to make them touch and then touches them to her nose.
Here is the cake. She was soooo excited to see that she had a Dora cake.

She tried to blow out the candles... Mama had to help a little bit!!

In all Kali really just wanted to play with her babies. She is such a good Mama!
