My Baby's 2nd Birthday

Well Miss Bailyn Joan, this was what you were doing on May 3, 2007 around 4:00 in the afternoon. Yes, still living inside Mommy, but not for long. You made your appearance at 11:35 at night and it has been wonderful having you in our lives! Minutes after you were born...

Maybe 2 weeks old...

About 3 months old...

6 months old...

1 year old...And this was the picture that was on T.V. Good Things Utah does a birthday recognition for all of those who turn 1 and so I sent in your picture and they showed this the day before your birthday because your birthday was on Saturday last year.

18 months old...

Happy 2nd Birthday. Once we said to go open presents you went right for it!

And unlike your sister, you were very excited about your new clothes. Kyleigh just threw hers to the side and wanted the good stuff.

You were so excited about the clothes that you thought you needed to try them on immediately. So here you are trying on the newest outfit.

Then on went the presents. You are sitting your new recliner from Mommy and Daddy. We got one for your sister on her second birthday and decided to do the same for you as we know both of you like them!

You got many babies for your birthday this year and let me tell you why. You stole all of Kyleigh Rae's babies and so we thought that since you are such the mothering type to your babies that you needed to give the other ones back to your sister and take care of your own. As you can see, you loved each and every one of them. You got 3 total.

Oh and again we have changed outfits...what a surprise...NOT. And what is up with the sticker on your head? You saw it and decided that was where it went, but I'm not sure! We love you anyway!

I must say that I was pretty proud of your cake. The decorations around the house were flowers and garden, so I decided to try a daisy cake for you and it turned out better than I hoped.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Bailyn, Happy Birthday to you. When you first saw your cake on Saturday night you started blowing on it. You knew exactly what to do and you couldn't wait to do it. So when we said it was time for cake, you started blowing, I guess for practice!

And you did a GREAT job!

I used the star tip of a cake decorating kit to decorate your cake and you thought that each of those were a piece of candy and so delicately tried to pull each one off separately to eat it. We thought it was pretty cute.

But once you got to the actual cake, you left us a mess. Not surprised once again. And I am not sure why, but at one point you thought that the plate was your party hat, so cake was all over your hair! Can you say BATH?

After the bath you were once again in a different outfit, and we started to watch Everyone's Hero. Here you are shortly after it started...all the partying got to ya! Don't worry, I was on the couch doing the same thing!

Happy 2nd Birthday Bailyn. You will never know how much I love you and all the joy you bring into my life. I hope that you and Kyleigh will always be best friends. You are such a sweetheart and so precious to me. Thank you for the past 2 years!
