Phia loves to assist in laundry folding. She makes sure that it takes me twice as long as it should by unfolding the already folded clothes. She wouldn't want mom to get bored now, would she? This is the scene I walked into after putting dish towels away in the kitchen on Thursday.
Birthday time......I thought it would be a wild and crazy day since Shane had to see patients that morning and didn't get home till 11:00. I got her cake decorated on Wednesday night and in the freezer and her cupcakes done on Thursday. I really enjoyed the decorating and everyone said the cupcakes were delicious! We also mopped, swept, vaccummed, cleaned base boards and cleaned out her closet before we had to head to the park. We took her old toys to the basement that were babyish and washed 18 month clothes, folded clothes that were too small and her closet feels wonderful now! We also put all of her books in the top of the closet because she could get to them where they were previously and she needs supervision with books. All you have to do is open her closet doors and she will have her toy shelf emptied in nothing flat! We took some of her stuffed animals downstairs and just kept the ones she is attatched to upstairs. I was trying to get her to decide between 2 bears but she hugged them both so they both got to stay according to Shane.
She wasn't sure what to do with the presents and wanted to play with each toy as she oped it. We had to hide them so she could continue to open gifts. My mom got her a cabbage patch doll, named Alli Bianca and a cute Costco outfit. Great Grandma Freeman got her a teddy bear, Little Mermaid bathtub book and 2 cute shirts.
Aunt Mary got her the little teddy bear, two books and 2 darling outfits from Oshkosh. She loves all stuffed animals and has to give every one a hug and shake them back and forth as she is doing it.
Grandma Freeman got her some hair clips, shirts, shorts, stacking ABC blocks and a Grow n Go Giraffe that is a rocking horse type thing.
Aunt Mandy got her the bead thing from IKEA and some little finger puppets. My mom has a bead thing and Phia has loved it! I am sure she will have fun with hers.
Shane and I got her a drum/musical instument set, a Fisher Price activity table and a Fisher Price barn with animals that make sounds. They are all quite noisy!
BJ and Haley got her a Mary Englebreit Nursery Rhyme book that she will really enjoy!
Heather and Steve got her the stuffed giraffe which is so cute! Great Grandma and Grandpa Schow got her a shirt and toy. Todd and Meg got her some cute little colored rubberbands for her cute hairstyles, some tub toys and a little piano! She was sure spoiled rotten! I told Shane we need to cancel Christmas this year because not much more will fit in her room and closet!
This is her cake that I decorated for her! It was bigger than I thought from the picture online. Shane brought the pan home after I had made cupcakes for everyone and I was thinking we were going to have tons of leftover cake.
She wanted to touch the cake....
We sang Happy Birthday to her...
Then she needed a drink of water. She would only take little fingerfuls of icing but loved eating ice cream and cupcakes off my plate!
The cupcakes I made to serve!
This is her Grow n Go Giraffe. We put it together when we got home and sat her on it. She was so cute I had to get a picture. I got the camera and before I could get a picture she was no longer sitting on the seat, but standing up on the seat and holding the handlebars. She does know how to make it rock though and shen she wants off she just dives off the side onto the floor.
This was our living room last night. I just wanted to get everything put away since we are leaving for Bear Lake on Monday and Shane had inventory tonight at Costco. I hate having a messy house, it puts me in a grouchy mood.
As soon as she got up this morning she wanted to play with her activity table. It does learning, spanish, music and playtime stuff. She loves to walk around and around it and open and shut the laptop computer. She does a little dance when she presses a button and music plays.
Just some goofy pictures of my girl! Shane was paying pat-a-cake with her this morning but she got shy when I got the camera out! She is so busy it is hard to get a picture of her looking at the camera!
Today we came up to Salt Lake early and finished shopping for Bear Lake, got her some shoes to wear so that she can stand up to things and walk on vacation, got me 2 boxes of...
for .50 cents each! I have been wanting to try it because the best part is the bunches! There is a $2 off coupon on the post website and Walmart sells it for $2.50! Excellent deal to try a box of cereal.
We also found out that she loves chili cheese casserole and graham crackers and she has 9 teeth! 4 on top and 4 on bottom with one bottom molar that has broken through!
