2 Today!

2 Years Old!

Here we are - her 2nd birthday. I can't believe the speed with which it has come. She walked into the lounge and went "wow!". It was of course the balloons that she was most excited about at first - she went up to the big one and said "I love it ballala"! She's opened her first lot of presents, she's had her birthday jelly breakfast (and some fruit and crumpet too!) and is now wearing a gorgeous Postman Pat dress that has been made for her, and chalking at her new easel.

We've got friends coming to see us shortly, before we go out for the day. It's a busy and fabulous day! We're collecting Abbie and Jack before we head to the play centre with Ava and her mummy before 'nastics. After nastics we're having lunch with a couple of aunties and uncles before we all go for a swim (what else would we do with her!)

Then home for a visit from Granny & Gdad, lots more presents to still open and a yummy pizza tea.

She's amazed me this year in all she has learnt, become and tried. She's a confident, bubbly, hilarious fun and such a loving little lady. I've loved every single day of the last two years with her and feel so blessed that she is in my life.

Happy Birthday, my beautiful Katie, Love always, Mummy xxxxx
