Happy 2nd Birthday Bit Bit!

Bit Bit's 2nd birthday began with balloons and her birthday breakfast...eggo waffles and oranges. Notice her apple juice had to be in her "minnie cup" as she calls it and notice the minnie pj's (thanks gigi!). Bit Bit is a big fan of minnie mouse these days!

This would be cupcake #1 of the day...I believe she had a total of around 4. This one was eaten at 10 this morning...why not...it's your birthday Bit Bit!

Birthday lunch with the family! Grilled cheese....yum!

What do you know...another cupcake!

But her favorite thing by far all day was the chocolate milkshake she and her Daddy shared.

Luke at lunch...content in his seat to just play and talk to mommy.

Riding home talking up a storm...

Her new tricycle...she said "my bicycle daddy?!" She was excited. Now she just has to learn how to ride it.

Shoes on wrong feet...

Her first my little pony. Big hit..she loves to brush her hair...

And her Daddy bought her some makeup of her very own...it is basically wax with glitter in it..nice! Thankfully it rubs off clear so I do not think it can stain anything..we will see...

Clearly the right side of her face needed the most makeup...she was very intent on putting on her face...

Birthday dinner..shrimp pasta and oranges...obviously she does not want her picture taken.

The many faces of Bit Bit...

Baby girl it is so hard to believe that 2 years have passed since the wonderful day we first met you! The first thing I remember about you is seeing your big eyes. You looked at me and that was it...I was in love! And I know your Daddy feels the same way because he always talks about how wonderful it was to meet you and hold you for the first time. Since then, we have done so many great things together. And I have enjoyed getting to experience life through your eyes. Bit Bit you are so beautiful and smart and hilarious and sassy and so many other wonderful things! I love to hear you laugh...my favorite thing you do right now is talk to us. It is so much fun to have a conversation with you about your day or what you are doing. You also sing a mean version of "Jesus Loves Me" and "ABC's" right now that we never get tired of hearing. And the best part is the very end after you have sung at the top of your lungs, you pause and smile at the people watching you waiting for your round of applauds. You are so proud of yourself...and we of course are so proud of you! You have as many facial expressions as you do pairs of shoes (that would be thanks to mommy!) and you are not afraid to use them. And if I had a $1 for every time I get asked the question "mommy, what you doin?" or "mommy, what dat?" or "mommy, I want hold you" I would be a rich woman! I also love how you help me take care of your little brother Luke, or Lukie as you like to call him now. You have adapted so well to his arrival in our family and it is such a joy for me to see you be such a loving and attentive big sister.

Your Daddy and me and Nana and Bobo and Pops and Gigi and Aunt Holli and Granny and Memaw and all your Aunts and Uncles and Cousins and other family and all our many friends...we all love you so much!!! We are all so incredibly thankful to God for giving us the most precious gift of you...Mary Lindsey LeBlanc. Happy 2nd Birthday sweet girl!
