The Birthday Continues...

No Second Birthday would be complete without several parties, so last night we had a family party with Kathy (Nammy) and Bruce (Papa). A lovely dinner and a very pretty little dress that Sophie is clearly fond of...





And this morning, more gifts to open from Gigi and Papa in Colorado. All in all, it takes us nearly a WEEK to open all the gifts, wow! Thank you!!!

Sophie Sings her ABC's

Here is a rather unfocused version of the ABC's, as sung by Sophie.

Happy Second Birthday!

Sophie's Big Day! It's hard to believe she's two already, what a wonderful two years it has been! We had a great day full of fun. First, we started in on the huge pile of gifts sent from Gigi and Papa.

Then we got dressed and made our way to the Children't Museum in the Seattle Center to celebrate Yuki's second birthday. Yuki is at the far end of the table, and Nora was there, too.

Of course Sophie found the reading room, found a book, and a quiet corner to read in for a bit. Way to party, Sophie.

A little later we discovered the Curious George exhibit and some fun peek-a-boo doors.

Then met up again with Yuki and Nora for some time at the water feature.

Which got us very wet.

At that point it was time for lunch and a nap, then up again and into outfit #3 of the day for a Dance Party with friend and fellow April 25th birthday baby Theo at his house. We arrived to this lovely greeting in chalk on the driveway!

Having a little snack as the party gets swinging, but there's hardly room with a table full of gifts!

Favorite gift of the party: Little wooden pegs that spring out when you push them down, from Nora and Gillian. Thanks!

There is some excellent dance footage that I promise to post as soon as I get a chance,

Here Comes Birthday!

Time for cupcake baking! Luckily, I had a little help.
