Carley is 2

Happy 2nd Birthday Carley!!

Birthday morning

Playing games at Chuck E Cheese's

Lunch & carrousel rides at the mall

With our fun party friends the Gardea's

Presents - the idea was to get Carley all the things she likes of Mya's that she's never allowed to play with

One of her fav gifts - her own make-up box with a ton of lip glosses

Cup cake time - this is the look she had on her face the entire time we were singing to her

We tried to have a day of fun for Carley's 2nd b-day. We went to Chuck E. Cheese, the mall, swimming, pizza for dinner, presents & cupcakes (kinda princess themed). Colton & Sara came for dinner & presents & the Gardea's were there for the day. Carley was VERY aware that it was her special day & milked it for all it was worth!

We love Carley so much! She is the sweetest, most tender hearted little girl. She loves to pretend that she's a kitty cat, she doesn't really like food mostly just candy & soda, we are starting to understand more & more of the words that she says, I love how she says thank you it sounds like "tant u" she will clean up her own messes, LOVES to play with Mya, loves to wear dresses & be preey "pretty", loves to stalk her mother (big time momma's girl), she is still a great sleeper 12-13 hrs at night & a 2 1/2 -3 hr nap, gets upset if she's ever in trouble, likes to paint & play with play dough, she is very busy  & makes lots of messes (Mya says that Carley makes her do naughty stuff by pointing), she is good at climbing & is really brave & fearless right now, she can be very friendly, is good at sharing, likes to watch the T.V. shows "Clifford", "Super Why" (all the family is a character on the show which she shouts out almost the entire time), she also likes "Elmo" & Preey "Princess" movies, she really likes going to nursery at church, has been trying to get us to stay in her room at night by asking for more stories/singing/praying/talking, loves shoes & always brings people their shoes, she loves little things (bottles, markers, make-up) anything little, she doesn't like kisses on the lips very often but loves to be carried, likes to look at books in the car, loves stickers esp. at church, & she likes cats & dogs. One of my all time favorite things is that Carley calls herself "you". She is also pretty independent & a bit of a free spirit :0). We are so lucky to have her!
