Happy 2nd Birthday Nellie!

Happy 2nd Birthday Nellie!!

(back on Jan. 15, 2012)

Nellie celebrated with her family and friends in a Caillou themed bash at our house last Sunday complete with homemade candles and cake pops made by Larkin and Brooke and chicken parmigiana from our local Mona Lisa pasta (super yummy). The party ended with an all out dance party (as many of our days do) with girls dancing on the island in the kitchen and some break dancers spinning on the floor.

Nellie had a blast as the center of attention and loved that Caillou was on everything from her plate to her shirt. She can't get enough of that little bald four year old. That shirt may have to mysteriously disappear as she wants to wear it every single day. Luckily (for me at least), her Caillou party might have marked the end of her caillou era... she's now on to angelina ballerina and curious george (thankfully). Nellie is getting so big! She's 24 pounds and I forget how tall... but she's continuing the trend of tall and lanky Patsch kids.

Nellie loves to laugh. She is a pro at knock knock jokes (ok... they don't make any sense but she has the back and forth right and knows that they are supposed to be funny), and she will walk around begging someone to "tickle me! tickle me!" She has so much to say... and has been talking about this party to anyone who will listen all week. Nellie is really into babies and dressing up like "princess nellie" complete with a big pink tutu and hudson or larkin's swim cap can goggles on top of her head. I keep trying to get a good picture of this one, but recently she's decided the camera is evil.

Happy Birthday Nellie!! You are seriously adorable, hilarious, stubborn, sweet, and makes everyday special. xoxoxoxo
