I have been amazed that the same week Lily turned two, she also started throwing tantrums. She throws herself flat on the ground then rolls around saying NO to everything in her way. It's actually quite funny to watch. I just ignore her, and eventually she figures out that the whole tantrum thing wasn't too much fun. I think she is still recovering from pneumonia and having a major growth spurt. Surely this behavior is caused by something physical and not just because my little angel is now two (let me live in my dream world).
Lily had two little parties this year (only fitting for a two year old), one up in Chapin and one here in Charleston. We celebrated at Mimi and Papa's the weekend before Lily's birthday.
Austin helped Lily open her presents.
She was able to coax everyone into her new house that Kami, Richard, Adam, and Austin gave her. This present was huge hit.
Lily got a kick out of everyone singing happy birthday to her.
Who taught this girl to blow out candles like that. Must be some kind of human instinct.
YUM, CAKE
We didn't do too much on Lily's actual birthday. We went shopping and then to lunch with Cekine(Caroline) and Margaret Anne. We had dinner at church, and Lily enjoyed hanging out with the big kids. We later played in the playroom with some play food that we gave Lily to go with her new kitchen. We didn't give her the kitchen until her party the following weekend, but she had a blast with all of the food.
On Sunday, we celebrated Lily's birthday here in Charleston. I had planned to have a small party at our house with just family. As we got closer to Sunday, I began to feel bad that Lily wouldn't have many little friends at her party, so in very poor etiquette, I last minute invited a few friends from church. They joined us for a fun afternoon with pizza and cake. Lily woke up rather cranky from her nap, but soon came around and enjoyed all of the excitement.

Lily enjoyed the toys on the cake more than the actual cake.
Lily was so excited about her cake. We had been talking about it all week. This girl knows what to do with candles. She blew them out as soon as I put the cake in front of her. I had to relight them after we sang Happy Birthday.
Lily wanted to try all of her new hair bows. Such a girl
Lily clapped her hands and ran to her new kitchen when Daddy and Aunt Nette brought it out.
Lily had a lot of helpers with opening her presents.
Thank you to everyone for sharing in this special day with our sweet little girl.

Happy belated birthday to your precious little one. I can't believe she's 2 already (which means T will be soon, of course!). She looks like she had a ball and has all sorts of new, wonderful things!
