A Quick Diversion

I still need to post the last birthday bash - but I love this picture and wanted to share...

Happy Birthday Part 3 of 4

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's for Celebration #3.

Mattie wore an outfit that Grandma got her for Christmas...

Here she is with Baba...

She received lots of nice presents from Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Lisa...

Mattie is thinking:

What in the world is this and why did someone put it in my card? It looks like it could bite...I think I'll let mama hold it and keep opening the other stuff...

Me and my Grandpa...

Me and my Grandma... Me and my mama...

I had lots of fun - thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a great party!
That wraps up celebration #3! Stay tuned for #4!

Happy Birthday Part 2 of 4

It's my Birthday!

NO WAY! Do I get presents?!

I love my present!

Are you serious? I get MORE presents?!

YESSSSSS!
These are really cool!
Hey - guess who came to my party...My Gramps and Aunt Rhonda!And it looks like I'm getting more noodles tonight!

Hooray!

Everybody put on their party hats!

It's an Elmo party! And this picture is just so everyone knows that I do not only eat noodles! Not a great picture of my mama - she's scratching her neck or something weird like that...

but I look just smashing...
How old am I? See # of fingers below...Actually, I am holding up 2 fingers b/c I have 2 Elmo party horns but, I also do this for how old I am!
I am a very, very happy girl!

OK - time to work on the post for Party #3! IFE!

Happy Birthday Part 1 of 4

As it turns out, Mattie had 4 Birthday Celebrations! So, I will do 4 posts. This is the 1st celebration with Big Sis (Big Brother had to go back to school).

We started with chinese noodles...

She is excellent at using chopsticks already!

Disney Presents!!!Big kisses for sissy as a thanks for my presents...We ended the party watching video of big brother Jason, that he sent Ashlee on her phone...

Mattie even figured out what button to push to play it over and over again...she misses her big brother already...Oh look, they brought us Fortune Cookies! Thanks for a great party big sis - I love you SO much!

Bless You!

Mattie said "Bless You" for the first time, when I sneezed tonight! It was SO cute and she was super proud of herself too!

Tomorrow is her BIG day! She turns 2! Here's some final pictures of my 1 year old!

Wearing Baba's shoes and PJ's Grandma gave her...Looks nice together, eh?This is the Mr. Potato Head that Gramps and Mattie put together. She will NOT take it apart, and they made it almost 2 weeks ago! It is now her 'new doll'.

Some chuckles that come from this smiley mouth are...

UhOhhhh, Shoot - when she drops something

Baby Shoot (Bathing Suit)

When I ask her, 'what color is Elmo?' Answer (drum roll) "BLUE!"

When she's proud of an accomplishment she throws her arms up in the air and says "du-way" - and in Mandarin d'way means correct/good job.

And tonight when I asked her to tell some friends we bumped into how old she will be tomorrow, she said "2" while holding up 1 finger - LOL!

My little sunshine is officially a toddler! Yikes! Where did the time go!

Hopefully I can get birthday photos up by Sunday. Last year I took over 100...so, I anticipate there will be plenty to choose from!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

My Sweet Baby Girl! My big Brother is home!
It was fun putting chapstick on everyone

Me and my Aunt Rhonda

Talking on my big sisters phone

My baby is not really a baby anymore! She's turned into a little girl!

Stay tuned for Birthday photos - Mattie's almost 2!
