E d i e T u r n s T w o !
My baby girl had a birthday!!! Edie turned 2 years old.
We celebrated on Saturday by making birthday crowns & having chocolate cupcakes as a family :)
Above: AM, the birthday crew.
Below: PM, looking a bit demure post-nap, but she definitely perked up after her cupcake!
She sure reminds me of her Auntie Des in the picture above!
Edie is all business when it comes to cupcakes & eats every last crumb.
Some for Daddy...
There's that pretty smile.
& Asher's pretty smile ;)
Joel & I got her a kitchen set & she really enjoys her tea pot from Grandma Carolyn!
"Tea pot hot!" It whistles (quite loudly!) & even makes steam!
Edie is very independent & thoughtful of course with some willful moments thrown in there.
I love her squinty eyes & folded hands to pray, the way she stomps her feet when she gets excited about something, her thoughtfulness & willingness to help, the way she's always thinking of others needs, her bouncy little run when we go for a walk... & perhaps my favourite thing is how if we're headed outside or talking about going somewhere she'll hold out her hand & ask me, "comin, mummy?" She will also tell both Joel & I "No, Daddy, no Daddy / No Mommy, no Mommy" if either of us happens to be singing, even from her crib in bed! She's a little chatterbox & loves to help Daddy make coffee, put soap in the dishwasher & help herself to seconds at the table. Interestingly I've noticed Edie tends to prefer the male variety, from Grandpa over Grandma (not that she doesn't love the latter!) or her boy cousins over the girls, both Jude & Henry being favourites. Even among neighbours & acquaintances, always boys...?! I'm excited to see her in Big Sister mode :)
Edie's Favourite:
Animal: the "Neowy" aka kitty cat
Book: Panda Bear Panda Bear What Do You See / Wheels on the Bus
Food: yogurt & granola / dessert / protein over carbs
Play: cooking hot dogs / feeding her baby / jumping on the bed / romping with Dad & Asher
Hairdo: ponytail
Clothes: jammies & jeans
I love you, Edie. Happy Birthday!
xx Mum
Edie, Grammy loved playing kitchen and dollies with you! You're going to be such a good big sister and 'mommy helper'. You've got the prettiest smile and most adorable hands holding your cupcake so carefully. I like cake too! ps. it makes me smile that you picked the shiny black shoes...gramma likes black patent too!
