So disappointed......

My sonogram got cancelled today. It was the big one. The technician is sick, so I will get to go Thurs. No need for comments. I'll cheer up.

There is no shortage of ego in this house.

I put on her new little outfit today (a birthday present from Aunt Jill and Uncle John) She looked down at herself and matter-of-factly said "I'm beautiful" Hilarious!

Blue is Two!

July 18th, 2007 at 1;11 pm my little Blue turned two years old (sniff sniff). We had a special grandparent celebration on her actual birthday and then a family and friend party in the park on Sunday. Aunt Joanne provided this snappy little number for Blue to wear.

Thank you so much to everyone that came to the parties or sent along gifts. Each one of you is so important and I really appreciate the thought.

This is the cake. It's a bug cake that D and I made with love. My sister brought up cupcakes, so it was all I could think about. Don't judge, I'm pregnant. Anyway, it was covered in worms and spiders and butterflies for kiddy enjoyment.

Blue indulged in 5 cupcakes as the official taste tester for the day. Happy Birthday Blue!

Dancing her little heart out

My little flower girl

Our friends, Gen and Tom, got married yesterday. That's me, M, holding Blue up front. Blue got the honor of being the flower girl in the wedding. For the first time in her life, Blue became shy. Crap. What does a mother do? Bribe the child with jelly beams! That's right, I slipped a pack of jelly beans into the ring bearers pocket to give to Blue along the way. I know my kid and if she won't follow a man, she'll certainly follow food. =) In the long run, she ended up running down the isle yelling (happily) "Mommy Mommy" At the alter she turned her bucket over and dumped out all the flowers. For a 1 year old not bad.

After the ceremony, Blue sat for a well deserved meal. And then she ate the ring bearers meal as well. She gave him the eyes and stole the chicken strips right out from under his nose!

Dancing and more dancing

and more dancing..... (note: that is NOT the ring bearer. Scandal) Blue grabbed any man in height range and shook her groove thang until she dropped.

Here are the gorgeous bride and groom. They are obviously so in love. What a beautiful, heartfelt day. I was lucky to be a part of it. Congratulations guys!

No Mommy! I love you!

Ah nap time and bedtime. This is what Blue has learned to plead while sobbing. It is like a knife in your heart when you are sure that you are psychologically damaging your child. Then you finally break and get your poor baby and that little stinker beams as if it were Christmas. No trauma. No permanent damage. Oh no, just a sucker parent! =)

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Canada Day!

Being that Blue is half Canadian, D and I feel that it's important to celebrate Canada's Independance Day. She sported her Canada shirt all day and even went to a Canadian picnic yesterday. The picnic was complete with moose and Mounties. Fun for all!

And always one to partake in the dessert portion of the evening. Blue felt it her duty to step up and shovel a bunch in. =)
