Birthday baby and her orange

The birthday baby is finally two. And Maddy celebrated in style. Well, not so much in style maybe. We had a small party with her best friend, Hayden, who you can see jumping in her crib with her in a previoius video. Nan made Maddy's favorite meal, macaroni and cheese with broccoli and chicken, and Aunt Kim made a cake.

Maddy's favorite present was a block of wood with wires that you push wooden beads along. It kind of reminds me of a complicated abacus. In fact, when her friend came over and gave her his present, she set it aside because she was playing with something else. We finally convinced her to open it when he started getting concerned that she wasn't opening his present.

Then, there was the blowing out of them candles. Maddy thought they were fascinating. It was hard to convince her that you don't touch!

Finally the festivities were over and guests got a gift bag. Maddy got one because, well, she's the birthday girl and had a delightful time pulling all the little things out of her bag... and putting them back in again... and pulling them out again, because that's what girls love to do!



So what does a two-year old do after a fabulous party? Well, peel an orange, of course!



It's great to be two!!
