Alaina turns 2!

Alaina has had a great birthday week! One of the nice things about living across the country from most family members is that you get a present in the mail everyday for at least a week straight! She still thinks it's her bday and doesn't quite understand that it's really only a 1 day thing. Oh well! Thank you to everyone who shipped packages. They both go the the mail every day expecting a package. ;) We made some cupcakes for her birthday which she decorated with sprinkles and took some to share with her friends at daycare. For her bday dinner we went out to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. We'd never been and of course the girls loved all the animals and fish to look at while they ate. Here's a few pictures from the last week. 

We did have a doctors appt as well for her 2 year check up. No shots, YAY! She did get her flu vaccine, but could get the flumist instead of the shot since she was 2. Lily got hers as well because she no longer has an egg allergy.
Stats:
Weight 26 lbs (34%)
Height 33.5 inches (42%)
Head Circumference 19.25 inches (50%)

 So excited for all her new baby gear. She loves to play with all her babies. Feed them, put them to sleep, rock them, read to them and rub their backs. :)

 So excited to dive in.
 But really only likes the frosting!
 New baby crib
 Scooter....we couldn't wait long enough for Daddy to get the handlebars on it before we tried it.

 Another favorite lately is walking in my shoes. She's quite good. She even walked down the flight of stairs in them.
 This is a picture tonight before bed. Mommy and her girls. Can't believe I have a 2 and almost 4 year old!!

picture update!!

 Back to Iowa for a week. Of course we got to ride in the tractor with Gpa. 

Playing chutes and ladders with Bethany and Rachel.


 Fun with Tyler
 Finally got to see Finley and her little sister Dallas!
 Lily and Alaina had so much fun at the wedding dance! They couldn't wait for the real dance to start so they had to start right after dinner. :)

 Didn't want to leave the "princess's" side

 Weekend at Storyland amusement park
 Lily and Daddy in the front seat of the roller coaster
 
 Water log ride! Alaina was upset because she wasn't big enough.
 Amusement park and this was one of her favorite thing to play on.
 and in the balls....another fav.
 Finally we see cinderella
 Butterfly Place


 Went to the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, loved the ostrich.


 Dinosaur exhibit, pretty cool


 Ended our day with a swing ride.
 not sure why these are out of place. Enjoying the zoo in Des Moines

So happy we can now have french toast....NO MORE EGG ALLERGY!!!

Hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend! I was supposed to work today, but got called off. I can not believe it is September and Alaina will be 2 in less than 2 weeks. Crazy how life if flying by.
