Look Who's 2!

Oh, sweet Lil. My mind cannot comprehend how quickly you have grown. The years have just flown by, the days where I was waddling into work 8 days overdue now strangely morph into days where I now go into work, my heart aching, missing you so much. You are quite the little lady. And, yet, also sheer energy, brute strength, force of wills. I love your giggle, I love your pout, I love your screams, I love your fits, I love your energy, I love how you love babies, I love your grin, your smile, your voice, your hugs, your determination, your strength.



Happy birthday, sweet Lily.

5 Angry Birds

Today my little doodle bug turned 5. Yesterday on our way to church, I asked her what her favorite food was. She said, "Bird." I said, "Like, chicken nuggets?" "No, mom. Just bird." "Like chicken? I want to make you a special dinner for your birthday tomorrow." "Just bird."
We had spaghetti.

But I did try to appease her request for a bird cake "with green frosting and red frosting and hurple frosting" by making these angry bird cake pops. Okay, so they make be cakewrecks worthy, but still fun.




Why Ally is the BOMB DOT COM:
1. She loves dinosaurs, bugs, and frogs. She's not afraid of dogs. My kid rocks.
2. At church, when the primary children are supposed to sing in sacrament meeting and she doesn't know the song, she lip syncs. Obviously. Think Terrence-and-Phillip-like mouth movement. Oh yeah.
3. She tickles my arm during the prayer and tells me it's because "she loves me." So cute.
4. She has some sweet dance moves.
5. She loves kindergarten, loves to read stories. My little nerdling.

I love this little girl!!!
