RUN: Part 5- Charlotte Turned 2!

I can't believe that this little stink bug is already 2!!  Time flies by so fast.  It really seems like yesterday that I was just bringing home my baby girl from the hospital and now she is the big sister!

Charlotte with her 'Rella cake and cupcakes... she may not have understood the concept that it was her birthday, but she was excited about having a 'Rella cake and presents

She would NOT let me change her out of her 'Rella dress even though it ended up being smeared with food, blue frosting, and grass stains.  It was her birthday, so I obliged her.

I always love the second birthday, because it is when they are so excited to blow out candles and the one time that mom actually wants them to blow out the candle!

Charlotte wrapped up in her 'Rella blanket having some sweet dreams about princesses.

Happy Birthday Bugaboo, we love you!

10 Things About Charlotte

1.  Her most favorite thing in the world is Princesses, but especially 'Rella (Cinderella)... anything that she finds that has a princess on it is hers and nobody better touch it.  We don't know where she gets this princess facination, as her older sister wants nothing to do with princesses or anything girlie.  Charlotte is defiantely her own person.

2.  Charlote loves EVERYTHING girlie and always has to be wearing my necklaces, make-up, fancy shoes, and dress up clothes.  We have to have tea parties at lunch.

3.  Charlotte loves being a big sister, and I had to put a child knob on baby brothers door, because Charlotte kept sneaking in there and getting in his crib.

4.  Charlotte speaks very well and her brothers and sister love to tell her things to say and crack up when she says them.

5.  Charlotte loves her big siblings and tries very hard to keep up with them and do everything that they do.  It is so fun to watch her sit at the table with the family convinced that she is playing the games that we are playing, holding her cards like us and laying them on the table.

6.  Charlotte loves to color, especially with markers and is often seen with markers all over her face and arms, no matter how many times mom thinks she has hidden them.

7.  Char's favorite toys right now are a little polly pockets princess set with four Disney princesses. She packs those princesses everywhere with her. She also has a Disney princess magnetic paper doll set that she is in love with.

8.  This girl loves to be outside and is loving our new rental house with a fenced backyard, where mom lets her go out whenever she wants to.

9.  Charlotte loves to read stories and brings us all books to read her all day long.

10.  Charlotte is a definate daddy's girl and anytime mom gets after her in the day, she will plop down and cry, "I want my daddy!" Then when he comes home, she runs as fast as she can into his arms.
