Laila is TWO!

Laila is two...can you believe it? Either can I. She is getting so big!


We started out the day with our favorite Swedish Pancakes.

Aria is part of a little Joy school in our neighborhood and it was my turn to teach on Laila's birthday. Laila loves when all of her friends come over. She loves to participate and play with all of the kids so it was perfect to have them all over for a little birthday party. They made party hats and we played lots of games.

Then we had cupcakes!!!


When Geoff got home from work Laila opened all of her presents!

and we had MORE cake!

They are BEST friends, I have loved the last year watching Aria and Laila's relationship evolve. These beauties can play house and babies for hours. I feel so blessed to have two healthy, happy girls.
Laila is definitely my little buddy. She always wants me to snuggle her, tickle her back and read her books. She is a little mischievous and has a mind of her own. I am so thankful that she is in our family, she brings us such joy!

By popular demand...

So I have had a few people ask to see a belly picture. Here you go.
What?... you don't take belly pictures in neon splotched spandex? 
I just really wanted everyone to capture the essence of my pregnant body.  I don't get very pregnant in my belly, those babies are residing in my bum.  It is nice and roomy so I totally understand.
