Alyssa turned 2!

Our little baby turned 2 on Sunday!!! I can't believe it has already been 2 years. She likes to tell us she is still a baby and not a big girl yet, but she is getting to be a big girl. She talks to us all the time now. It is so much fun to listen to her interact with Dallin. She loves to sing, color, read books, cook in her kitchen, play trains and trucks, be outside at the park, and most of all play with her big brother. She is a much better sleeper and eater from a year ago. She eats pretty much what we eat now, which is really nice :) Her favorite color is purple! She is growing up too fast.

We had been telling her the week before that it was going to be her birthday on Sunday. She would get really mad at us and say no (her favorite word)! On the morning of her birthday she was almost in tears and said she was going to stay one! We did birthday cupcakes with her cousins in Iowa. She cried at the end and hated the attention. She did love her cupcake! She got the best cupcakes, thanks to her Aunt Jeanna!

When we got home it was time to open presents. Then she finally liked her birthday. I don't think she paused very long to look at each present, but LOVED opening all of them. She got pinkie (a large my little pony), a crib, books, coloring books, aquadoodle mat, zoobles, blocks, and a few more little things.

Dallin bought her a dog just for her since he doesn't like to share all of his :) She loves it and has to sleep with it.

Then she wanted to blow out candles on another cupcake. So we let her do it again, and she didn't cry :)

Dallin and Alyssa thought it was funny to wipe the frosting on each other. I didn't think it was very funny.

At the end of the day she said she loved her birthday and now says she is 2!
