Look Who's Two

Bella celebrated her second birthday. We had a party at the house and Dora dropped by for some music and dance. Bella's favorite character lately is Dora the Explorer so we thought (hence thought) she would love it if she came to her party. We knew it could go either way...like it or scream. She did the latter, crying for most of the 30 minute time block Dora was at the party. She did manage to give Dora a high 5 as she said goodbye.

(at least cousin Jordan liked Dora)

Once Dora left...the party fun could get started according to Bella. She did have fun opening all the nice gifts, blowing out her 2 candle, and playing on her new outdoor play set.

Anna had fun too with Baby Henry.

The slide was a big hit. Thanks Grandmomma and Papa Joe.

Everywhere we go now Bella asks to find a slide. Even at the doctor office at her 2 year well check she was asking to "go find slide".

Bella tells Anna to slide all the time. We look forward to the days when they can both run and play together.

Another Day at the Park

We are finding ourselves more and more at the park with Bella. However, we love going to the park just the same so it is a good excuse. We stopped to feed the ducks with hamburger buns one evening (we were cooking hamburgers for dinner) and Bella got excited when she saw the bread saying "Yum bread" and ate a bun herself.
