Eliza Turned 2

Eliza had her 2nd birthday.  We had a little family celebration for her with cupcakes and presents.  I was surprised at how much she comprehended.  She knew it was her cupcake, she sang along to Happy Birthday, she 'attempted' to blow out the candles without any prompting from us and she KNEW that pile of presents was hers. 

I guess seeing Cordon and Dad have their birthdays in the last month showed her how it's done.

She tried, but couldn't get enough air to blow the candles out so Cordon came to the rescue. 

nothing like sitting back and relaxing with a tummy full of cupcakes

She still doesn't like to open presents.  She likes to get them, but not un-wrap them.  I'm not sure why.  But this actually worked out great because Cordon got to feel included by opening the presents for her.  When each present was opened Eliza would yell "oh wow!"

Here she is showing off her loot.  Notice the wardrobe change.  As soon as she saw Aunt Karyn's gift of a new outfit she insisted on wearing it.

The pants are to big so they came off pretty quickly and she spent the rest of the evening sporting this classy look.

Yes, those are princess shoes over her pajamas.  That girl loves shoes.
