Misc. Birthday Weekend

Teagan had a busy Birthday weekend, including lots of play time with her new toys.  She rode her trike, played T-ball, utilized the sprinkler, and played in her tunnel.  

Birthday Tradition

Last year Matt and I painted a special birthday plate for Teagan with the idea that it would be her cake plate for her birthday every year.  With the chaos and commotion of Teagan's party we forgot to use the plate (despite the fact that I had set it out that morning and told everyone in the room to NOT LET ME FORGET!!!).  So, the next day Teagan got an extra piece of cake so we could recreate the birthday tradition.  

Happy 2nd Birthday Teagan

Teagan celebrated her 2nd Birthday on Saturday.  She had a great day from start to finish, with so many family and friends and important people with her to celebrate.  She got a shiny red tricycle from Mom and Dad and lots of other fun gifts.  She enjoyed cake and playing in her water table and being the center of attention all day long.  At her 2 year check-up she weighed 25 lbs and was 35 inches tall!  In the last week she has been talking up a storm, including singing twinkle twinkle little star, ABC's, and Happy Birthday!  We love you Teagan and can't wait to see what another year brings!!!!

2 Yr Portraits

Just a sneak peak at some of the "2yr portraits" I took for Teagan and Joshua tonight.  There are still a lot more to edit but with the party preparations in full swing this is all I could get through tonight.  This age is a....challenge...the kids run in every direction, fight over balloons, no smiles, no listening, no patience (oops, never mind, that's me).  But, we get the shots we can and if we have to take more on another day (no balloons of course) then so be it!  I'll probably look back at these years down the road and laugh at it all in the long run.  

We spent the weekend in Buffalo for Matt's work hockey game.  Teagan was pretty well behaved, even including Sat. night where she stayed up almost 3 hours past her bedtime!!!  Highlights included lunch at Ted's, an afternoon with Aunt Melissa, climbing up and down the bleachers at hockey, pizza dinner, and swimming on Sunday AM.

SO excited to swim

Blue lips, teeth chattering, but doesn't want to get out of the pool!

Taste of Summer

Almost 80 degrees today - what a great taste of summer.  Teagan ran around outside, took off her shoes and felt the grass in between her toes, played with the hose, and had a carefree evening.
