Happy 2nd Birthday, Lila!

Happy Birthday to our baby Lila June! She was born at 4:42 a.m. Today is another gorgeous summer day, just like the day she was born. We took her home on the 4th of July in crazy holiday traffic. I'm glad this year we'll be at the parade and enjoying the fireworks! But lets take a look back, shall we?

Lila, just a couple hours old.


Lila, 3 days old. Elsa is only 22 months!


The day after we brought her home, Elsa went swimming in the pool, Tim played guitar, and I needed a break, so we put Lila down for a nap in the case.


Fast forward to now.
This morning we opened a few presents right away. Lila got a new princess doll and she was seriously stoked.


For breakfast we had the traditional birthday pancakes.


Last Sunday we had a little party for her and lucked out with great weather again.

The kids played (and hugged!) in their new matching dresses.


Lila wanted bear cupcakes with blue frosting, and "pah-nih-wah" ice cream.

Elsa put on Lila's new fairy princess outfit and wanted to turn something into a frog with the magic wand. We found a toy frog and told her to spin around and close her eyes, and then "magically" the frog would appear in place of people or objects. She was freakin' out! She didn't get sick of that game for a long, long time!

Another family photo... another Photoshop opportunity.

Do tell...what magic did you apply to the family photo?

Oh I didn't, I was just thinking how there's always the opportunity to do it w/ the family photos b/c someone always isn't looking, or Lila has her hand over her face, etc. :)
