Kelsi's 2nd Birthday Party and Other Milestones


Well it has taken me 2 months, but I have finally downloaded Kelsi's birthday party pics. Her party was on Sunday, Jan. 6th at our new house in Reeltown. It was the first time family and friends had been to the house.   If you know Kelsi you know she has had a passion for Nemo since she was about 4 months old, so this year we went with a Nemo theme. I had a lot of fun planning everything, and there was a great turn out. Kelsi is one blessed little girl to have so many people who care about her. This year I didn't even try to make Kelsi eat any cake. Lesson learned with that! Instead I had her a peanut butter cookie, her favorite. Maybe one day she will learn to love icing and cake like the rest of us! Here are some pics of her big day! I still can't believe she's already 2! Love her more everyday!

               The night of the party Kelsi passed out in her highchair eating applesauce and yogurt.

Kelsi's 1st pet- beta fish in Nemo tank. When we ask her the fish's name she says "Kelsi"


 We have been teaching Kelsi the "God is Good" blessing and the "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" bedtime prayer. If we sit down to eat and forget to say the blessing Kelsi says "Blessing 1st!!" and crosses her hands. The way she says Lord is adorable! (lud)




                This was a pretty Saturday when we took Kelsi to Monkey Park in Opelika.

                                 This is what Kelsi's hair looks like when she wakes up!!





 When we were little Mama would fill a jar with slips of things we could do together while she was off and we would draw them out as we had time and do them. I decided to start this with Kelsi. On this night we drew out "play dress up". I headed for the Minnie Mouse gear, but Kelsi put this together instead!!



Kelsi absolutely loves to write with pens, pencils, markers, and crayons. She tries to draw circles. She wants so badly to write her name.



We started a little potty training before Kelsi turned 2, but after her birthday we started working even harder on it with her. She is such a big girl!! I can't remember the last time she had a poopy diaper. She earns m&ms for going to the potty. I'm thinking about trying her with panties soon. We just have to work on her going to the potty to tee tee every time. Sometimes when she's playing she doesn't always go to the potty to tee tee.

And that is our update until next time with this precious baby girl!!
