Addie's 2nd Birthday Party

Addie joined 4 other friends' kids with May birthdays from our church to celebrate her birthday! The theme was SUPERHEROES! It was a wild time. The moms got together to make Superhero costume accessories for party favors. Each kid got a mask and arm bands to wear at the party. The kids were also encouraged to wear their own costumes. Older youth in our church organized games, a skit, and music for the party!! We ended up with 47 adults and 35 kids. WILD! Here's Addie blowing out her candles. As everyone sang "Happy Birthday" Addie started to cry. She didn't like all the direct attention. She only stopped because I pulled out the cupcake with a candle in it. Booya--cake! As you can see below, she obviously enjoyed it! It's rare we have the chance for a family pic....so here we are with all our 'lil Superheros! Eli is Batman and Kai has a cape with Eli's mask. Hence, the mask fits a little tight on him--size 12 months. Addie refused her cape and any other Superhero accessories...although she was open to the Happy Birthday tiarra! Our little princess. Mommy and Batman. The cutest lil superhero! The mask fit Kai if it was positioned just right.....beautiful baby blues peeking through that mask! Here's the other birthday Superheroes--Noah, AJ, Vivy, Izzy, and Addie. The birthday madness also included a visit from Grandma and Grandpa, a trip to the zoo, more cake with our neighbors, and presents. Addie is a happy 22lb. little squirt. She is starting to talk in simple sentences, although much of her communication is difficult to understand. She uses a whiny voice which makes it even harder sometimes. Derrick is better at translating than I am. Addie dropped her pacifier cold turkey on her birthday as well (not by choice). But she's doing exceptionally well without it! Happy Birthday Addie girl!
