Julie is 2!

Julie is 2 years old! There were extra cousins in town so it was an extra large birthday party!  We had a family dinner followed by cake, ice cream, and presents!  I made a "Mimi" cake because Julie is obsessed with that stuffed cat!  The look on her face was price less when I showed her the cake.  She yelled,"Mimi!!!!" 
 
Our Sunday family dinners are always the best, and this day was no exception.  It was extra special to have Stephanie and her kids there too!

It was such a treat to finally get to meet sweet baby Anna!  She was a cutie for sure!
Julie got alot of fun presents including a trampoline from Grammy and Papa!!  Evy drew her a cute little picture (she's quite the little artist)

Now that Julie is two her little personality is definitely in full bloom.  I hope I never forget all the little details of my little baby so I better write them down to be sure!

If I had one word to describe Julie it'd be Sweet.
This girl is sweet and so full of love.  She is known around our house for sharing everything.  Even when its her last morsel of candy.  Even when its something that her and Lizzie have been fighting over and its awarded to her. Its usually a matter of minutes before she hands it to Lizzie and says, "Here ya go!"  She sure looks up to her big sister too.  Today she spontaneously hugged her big sis and said, "I love you Lizzie!"
Now that being said, she likes to get her sisters goat too and she's a professional.
The other day Lizzie made a big deal at dinner about not wanting her food so Dave said "thats fine" and passed it to Julie.  Liz yelled, "No I don't want Julie to have it!!"  So Julie responds by not only devouring her big sister's food but makes really loud and fake munching/eating noises (kinda like cookie monster). That REALLY got Lizzie's goat.  Dave and I were rolling on the floor (terrible of us huh?)

Favorite color: pink
Favorite song: Mr. Moon
Favorite book:  Are You My Mother?
Favorite word/phrase: Mimi?
Favorite activity:  ABC game on computer

She is still a Momma's girl but definitely has her Daddy's girl moments too. She's a great cuddler.

Everywhere I go people are always commenting on how beautiful she is.  Its funny to watch people respond to seeing her at the grocery store, etc, often gasping at how big and blue her eyes are and saying things like, "Oh what long eye lashes!"  I always agree because I think she's pretty cute too :)
