Terrible Twos

Caleigh is officially in her "terrible twos." Despite the fact that her temper tantrums, mood changes & whining started long before her second birthday, we don't hold it against her. Hahaha. She is definitely growing into her own person. Here are a few things that she loves:

putting on her own shoes (as well as anyone else's shoes that are around)
eating at the table with her own fork & spoon (and getting food all over the place)
turning up the music on the stereo so she can dance & shake her booty around the house
climbing up & down the stairs by herself (including falling from the top of the steps all the way down a day before her birthday, which almost gave me a heart attack - she's fine, by the way...no broken bones or concussions. thank goodness!)
putting stickers on her potty chart when she uses the potty
speaking her own language (it's mostly gibberish, but she knows exactly what she's saying)
watching her favorite shows: Dora, Barney & Caillou
brushing her own hair
going to nursery at church every Sunday
playing with anything & everything (except the hundreds of toys she has)
making a mess around the house so Mommy can clean it up
talking on the phone (she's practically a teenager)
watching herself on video
her "nene" (aka her security blanket - she can't sleep without it)
talking to Chance & making him smile
yelling "DADDY'S TOME" whenever Greg gets home from work
taking naps (Mommy loves that one, too!)
making a funny "cheesy" smile whenever she's in front of a camera. SEE:

And since she turned two, what better way to celebrate than with two cakes. I made a confetti cake that we had on her actual birthday & then had a Dora cake at her birthday party. Yummy!

We had a small little party for her at home with a few friends from church & our neighbors across the way. It was a success. Caleigh & the girls had fun running around & playing games & visiting. Thanks to Taleah, Aysia, Melia, Kiana, Eme, Meleane, Cassidy & Leah for coming to the party! Caleigh had a blast!!!
