Birthday #2

My second birthday was yesterday. It was just a normal day for me except I talked on the phone A LOT! On the way home from work Mommy Laura asked me if I wanted to go swimming. "No. waffles" is what I replied. So we squeezed some orange juice and made some waffles (I am even getting good at calling out the ingredients ahead of time: "EGG!" I also talked to Nonnie Liz, Aunt Tah Tah and Uncle Robbie, and Grandma/Grandpas McDonald and Wagner. The celebrations will continue with cherry pie and my birthday ring this evening.....

Last Free Trip

I took my last official free flight (under 2) to visit Sonja and company in Mass. with a last minute fare deal. We had soooo much fun!!!!
Here we are acting silly on the stairs:

Morgan had fun dressing me up (notice my mommy laura's shoes too):

We also celebrated my birthday. What other way but to go all out and visit Chuck-e-cheese. Believe me, my mother's impression of the place was just about the same as my look in this picture (for those of you who don't know, the visit to this establishment is a long standing joke between my mommy and Sonja)

And Sonja, Morgan, and John helped to make this bunny cake for me to celebrate my birthday. I also inherited some choo-choo train items on my trip too.

Cold Weather Activities

We've had fun taking my new sled on the sidewalks in the neighborhood to grab hot chocolate, go to swimming lessons, or get a Korean Pancake.

Despite both grandpas' attempts, this is the only tractor I will voluntarily ride on:

Anya Squared

here is a picture of my Twin Anya. Her mom works with Daddy Pat. We are just 2 months apart, both named Anya, and both have red hair! Can you tell which one I am?

Winter Solstice

We went to the Kensington Market "Festival of Fire" tonight with my friend Aiden from daycare to celebrate the Solstice. Unfortunately, the winds did not cooperate so we saw no fire. Just music and a little dancing:

PS. I can already dance much better than my parents.

Facelift

It's been a very busy few weeks. But the blog was in need of some minor renovations so here's a face lift to liven things up.

We traveled to New York City this past week. Nonnie Liz received a very prestigious endowed Chair and we were happy to surprise her on the visit! Auntie Sonja was kind enough to come down and watch me (I think she secretly wants a third child after spending time with me, too) ;)

Taking the subway with Sleeping Bunny who "once was lost but now is found"

We also celebrated our last music class with Josh. We've had a great time with Josh this past year and are going to miss him :(
