Yes it’s June and Libby turned 2 on January 11, but I’m still trying to catch up. There is so much I could write about Libby. She is such a fun little girl and has grown up so much, we just can’t believe she is our little baby! She is more advanced than any of our kids at this age so it has been fun to watch her grow. She is so advanced in her speech, we can have in depth conversations with her and I am always amazed at what she picks up hearing me talk. She is very much like Maddie in that she is very dramatic and she loves to sing. She loves going to Nursery at church and begs us to take her! She loves singing time in Nursery and relishes every moment. She love Minnie Mouse and anything Princess. She is definitely a girly girl but she can be rough when she needs to be. She has everyone in the family wrapped around her finger, which was cute when she was a baby but now that she’s in the terrible two’s its obvious we’ve created a monster. I guess that’s what happens when you’re the baby.
For Libby’s birthday we did quite a few fun things this year. Sadly Chris had to be out of town on business on her actual birthday so we went out to dinner at Outback the night before her big day so we could celebrate with Daddy. She got her very own sundae!
On the morning of her birthday as I barely getting out of bed, Maddie was up making a waffle for Libby. She even covered it in bananas and whipped cream! (it was a toaster waffle but still very impressive for a 10 year old). I lit the candle and she was in heaven.
Later that day we went to Disneyland to celebrate her special day. She was very aware of her birthday and kept telling us it was her birthday. Since Chris was out of town we had Grandma come with us. It was fun to have her share Libby’s special day. Libby got to pick all the rides we went on and we made an extra special visit to Toon town since she is obsessed with Mickey and Minnie.
We had to get pictures with Mickey and Minnie. Even though Libby wanted to keep her distance, she still loved seeing them.
We made sure to ride the carousel which is one of Libby’s favorites. (and mine too, since the line is always short and I can get good pictures on it.)
Because my Mom was with us we could get on rides through the handicap entrance which made lines really short for us. One ride we almost never ride because the line is so ridiculous is Peter Pan. Since Grammy was with us we decided to go on it. Just our luck, the ride stopped right in the middle, the lights came on and we were stranded for about 20 minutes suspended in our boats. The ride does not look so fascinating with the lights on.
I don’t think my kids will ever ride on it again, they are too scared it will get stuck. After that we were all ready to head home. Since we hadn’t had dinner we stopped at In-n-out on our way home and Libby enjoyed her very own hamburger. She’s such a big girl now!
She went right to sleep on our way home. She had a wonderful birthday and felt completely spoiled. Since that day whenever we go to Disneyland, she tells me it’s her birthday!
While we were at Disneyland she got a few souvenirs and she was so proud of her bag of toys. She wouldn’t part with it for several days. Here she is the next morning holding her bag. It was the first thing she wanted when she woke up the next morning.
