I DO IT!!!

Before Penelope's 2nd birthday she'd often tell us she would do something by pushing our hand away and saying "No, me me me me." On her 2nd birthday she was opening presents and said repeatedly "I DO IT!!" It has now become her favorite words. Also, the web cam has been a great gift. Penelope has been able to play peek a boo with both sets of grandparents and Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Christopher.

On her actual birthday I picked Penelope up from a very exciting day of school. Her teacher's gave her a new book and little musical clackers. The best part for Penelope was the pink gift bag. Anything that looks like a purse catches her eye. So we went grocery "chopping" at the co-op and she carried around a pink sparkly gift bag and sung "we go chopping". I got many "She's so cute!" comments.

Then we took Penelope to the Cake Eater Bakery. Penelope ate a smore cupcake, I had a pumpkin chocolate and Chris had a dark chocolate kahula creme. I told Penelope she'll have to wait another 19 birthdays before she could have that one.
"Yummy cupcake! I didn't even have to share with mommy!"
Daddy and Penelope running home to eat dinner. Yes, we had cake before dinner and then presents. It was a great 2nd birthday.
