Monday December 6th was Cali’s birthday! She is 2, but if you ask her she doesn’t have a clue how old she is or what you are talking about. Early in the day we told her happy birthday and sang to her but she just got mad at us, so it was a normal, fit throwing, time-out-going day until dad got home from work and we brought out the presents!!!

We finally have girl toys!

and she loves her doll

looks like Christmas but it was just 3 little birthday gifts

I have been told that Cali might not appreciate all of the crying, whining, fit throwing pictures of her that have made it on the blog BUT that is reality and these super cute super happy pictures are also a reality for her – Sometimes she can be super cute and fun…

She loved her Elmo cake!

and playing dollies with Aunt Kelsey

Family Pic! another one - we are doing good 🙂

I don’t love December birthdays but… thats what we got. Cali was my easiest/best delivery. She came on her own, the night/next morning after her due date. She is my toughest child right now but we can’t imagine our family without her. My mom says Cali reminds her very much of me at that age 🙂 I am ready for the terrible 2’s – lets do this!

When she wants out of bed she’ll yell, “knock knock mom”.

At bedtime she needs her 4 special blankets, her sippy, and “wrap me up”.

She usually wakes up grumpy, loves to do whatever her brothers are doing, can read books for hours, enjoys our mornings with just the girls, is obsessed with her aunts, constantly tells me to stand up when I’m holding her, and always has her hair in her face.
