Jaycelyn Turns 2!

I cannot believe I am saying these words, "I have a two year old"! Happy Birthday to my beautiful, amazing, wonderful, creative, inquiring, full of energy, daughter. You are truly a gift from God.

We had a wonderful day today. We woke up early and got cleaned up. J's new thing is refusing to get in the tub. She yells "No, Bath!" and literally kicks as I get her undressed and into the tub. Then after 4 seconds she is splashing away. I'm not kidding about the 4 second thing! Then it takes us 25 minutes to get her to get out of the tub. And if you have to get her out before the 25 minutes are up... que the kicking and screaming.

After we were dressed, we came down and had breakfast and I told her we were going to see Daddy. She just loves to go see Daddy at work and have lunch with him so she was really excited. So excited in fact that it tuckered her out. That's right she feel asleep before we even began the day. (Please excuse all the upcoming crappy iPhone pics)

We had a very nice lunch with Daddy and headed home. We played for a few hours and waited for Shane to get home. The it was off to Moe's. Fancy, I know. But J just loves it. She quite enjoyed and was hamming it up for the camera.

Next it was off to Target to go shopping! My grandparents sent her some money and we thought it would be fun for her to go pick out a toy. And what did she pick? A Belle barbie doll. Apparently Beauty and the Beast really struck a cord when we watched it yesterday. She pulled it off the shelf twice, so we figured that was the right one. She insisted on carrying it all trough the store. It was absolutely adorable!! The box was bigger than she was and she had to keep taking breaks to re-adjust.

She carried the bag to the car in her usual style. I have no idea why, but my child LOVES to carry bags. Shane had to take the doll out of the packaging in the car all the while listening to her yell "Belle" over and over.

We came home and played for a little while and then we put the birthday girl to bed. She went right to sleep and I'm not surprised. It was a wonderful day and I am so blessed to spend days like this with her.

And get a load of these comparison photos. That's right, she is wearing the exact same dresses as she wore last year. My little peanut. But she has gotten significantly tall over this past year.
