On Cate's actual birthday (July 23rd), we had a Mickey Mouse 2nd Birthday party at Uncle Brian and Aunt Rosie's house. We had a great time despite the 100+ temperatures we've been experiencing daily for over a month now. The kiddos did a little "swimming", we had a hot dog lunch, and of course Mickey Mouse cupcakes!
We had a great day with our friends and family, Cate was so lucky to have Momo and Papa, Aunt Juju and Uncle John and Aunt Hannah for coming in to celebrate!
(Cate did not want to stop for a photo with mom and dad!)

Cate giving the slide a test run....as soon as she saw the pool that morning, she was taking off her clothes and trying to get in!
Fun times!

I just love how each kid has a very different expression
Time for cake and a song!

We opened gifts after Cate had her nap, and did she do well this year!

The baby bed goes perfect in her new playhouse!
(do you think she's excited?)

Cate is one lucky girl to have so much family and friends who were happy to celebrate with us this year!
We also had her 2 year check up:
Weight 31 lbs
Height 36.5 in
She's growing fast, as is her vocabulary...new words every day, definitely has her moments of "terrible two's", occasionally wants to sit on the potty (but we're not pushing for potty training yet, just letting her tell us what she's interested in), and of course singing the ABC's....we listen on repeat practically in the car (thanks Aunt Juju, your CD backfired, she's more interested in just the one song...). I look at her everyday, amazed that it's already been 2 years....where does the time go?!
