Happy Birthday to our little Two Year Old!
We had a few friends over, old and new, to celebrate Dora style, and we got to play on the new swing set that was just installed (in the rain, poor installer guy).
Carina also got her first haircut this week - first via Mia, and then at her first visit to Cartoon Cuts for the fix. Here are the before and after shots -

Carina is doing all the things a two-year-old should be doing these days, saying No and Mine! a lot, throwing things, biting (yipes!), and hitting, and also climbing, learning to jump, sliding, swinging, running, learning to ride a tricycle, and giving big hugs. She loves loves loves her sisters and is becoming quite the Daddy's girl. She knows how to bat her eyelashes and smile as she says Hi or Bye Bye to everyone in Target and will dance along to the live music when we go to the Rocknoceros concerts in town. She is sweet, but no pushover and will let you know what she wants, how she wants it, and that she really wants it RIGHT NOW thank you very much.
She loves all things Dora, coloring, and she sings a sweet song that she made up about all the people in our family. She is still allergic to dairy but is making strides to outgrow it, and still won't drink any substitute milk and is therefore still drinking expensive formula.
Carina is potty training and is also trying to train her dollies and stuffed animals, which is adorable.
She is charming and fun to be around, and loves to be included in games and play. We love her dearly. Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl!
