Adley has turned TWO!!! And she will tell anyone who will listen. She tries her hardest to hold up two little fingers but it gets tricky. Cute video of her playing with her balloons:
We had a great weekend that started off with a big birthday celebration for a big little girl. We blew up the bounce house and Adley got a water slide for her bday, so these kids had endless opportunities of outdoor fun!
Below is Adley's BFF, Rowan. She is 6 months younger than Adley and they were in the same class for awhile (both my kiddos moved up last week). Adley squealed with excitement when she saw her best bud show up to her party in her swimsuit, ready to play. It was adorable to watch.
Dorothy Lane Market, aka "Aunt Dorothy" as the kids know it, catered the party so this mama didn't have to worry about prepping or cooking (this is our local grocery that cooks almost as good as Lolly). All fun, all water and all games for this two year old and her birthday.
My brother and his crew came in from Germany and were able to stop by for a few days. Adley had her besties and all her cousins by her side when she blew out candles on her princess cake.
A party isn't complete without a destroyed playroom!
Opening gifts below. Books are still her favorite. And she loves all things girlie...bows, bracelets, purses, etc. She is starting to scream "dressssss" in the mornings and prefers them over shorts or pants. Her favorite color is yellow. She knows all her colors and can count to four in English (and two in Spanish!). "No" still seems to be her favorite and most used word.
We even got a visit from Mimi and Pop Wilson. Hudson and cousin Nate loved showing off their swim goggles to them.
Hannah is such a good big cousin; she was almost like a built-in babysitter for me. She has grown leaps and bounds since living in Germany and I could not be more proud of her (since I am her favorite Auntie, obviously). Hudson and Adley followed her around like little puppies. She read books the kids before they went to bed, she helped bathe Adley and they all played dress up and pretend together.
Hannah got Adley matching dresses for her birthday. I think Hannah wore her dress everyday, just waiting for Adley to put on that dress (Adley told her "no" about 10 times before she would actually allow me to put it on her).
Adley is screaming, "I'm twoooo" to the camera....
Pool day!
On Monday, I took off work and we had another family fun day. Hudson requested the water slide be blown up and ready to go at 930 am. The kids did not care one bit that the water was freezing and the sun wasn't up yet. I had no qualms about it either, as it kept them outside and occupied for three hours; it may be my best investment yet!
Both kids had their well checkups this week and did great! Hudson passed his eye exam and took a flu shot like a pro. He is 95th percentile height (42.9 inches) and 90th percentile weight (42 lbs). Adley has grown significantly since her last check up. At her 18-month check, she had an abnormally large head circumference and was only 30th percentile height. Now she in the 90th percentile height (35.5 inches) and 75th percentile weight (29.6 lbs). Her body has finally caught up to the size of her large head, ha!
Below are pics of Hudson getting ready for his first club soccer game. He dominated. And not being biased at all! I know he scored four goals but Chris said it was more. I couldn't keep track with all the little divas (Adley and Rowan) running around me.
The little divas needed an umbrella to share their snacks under as they watched their older siblings play soccer. lol.
And to end on one of my most favorite pics yet.....this is how we roll during the week days after I pick the kids up from school....
Until next time!
