We got back from Ethan's Baptism and our trip to NY on Tuesday. It was quite the whirlwind trip, as they all are! We arrived at Nana and Pop's late the Wednesday before. Jeff and I got to sneak away for a night to ourselved Thursday evening and then Saturday morning, we all headed up to John and Jen's to meet Ethan and spend time with all of them and Max. The girls had a great time the whole trip. Mikaiya got to swim in Nana and Pop's pool, which she loved!! And they both got to spend some much needed time with their cousins. I think the girls really enjoyed all of Max's cool toys! He had all kinds of cars and trucks to play with, not to mention his big Truck that he drives around the back yard and the trampoline. Braenna was a bouncing machine!! Guess we're going to eventually have to invest in one of those! I got the priveledge of being Ethan's Godmother as well, which I am very honored for. Thank you very much to John and Jen for giving me such a special place in Ethan's life! He is such a sweet baby and I cannot wait to see what the future brings!

Braenna's 2 Year Well Visit
We took Braenna in today for her 2 year well visit. I had been noticing that she seemed awfully tall lately, and sure enough, it was confirmed! She is 36.5" tall, which puts her in the 97th percentile for height! What a big girl!! She's quite a bit taller than even Mikaiya was at this age and Mikaiya is still very tall for her age. I guess these girls got the the tall genes in the family! Braenna is also up there in weight, she is 31 lbs and 6 oz, which puts her at the 92nd percentile for weight. Overall, she's pretty well balanced out though and is quite big for her age!!
She is also doing all of the items on the 2 year checklist at the dr, so we are very proud of her. Her words are getting better and better, although there are still a few things that she continually repeats that we cannot figure out. She is definitely a 2 year old...her little personality is very set in its own little way already. This morning I got out her shoes and she looked at me and said, "No mommy, no sneakers!" and then proceeded to find herself two (unmatched) dress shoes that she insisted she wanted to wear. We finally got the sneakers on her, but not without a fight! And yesterday I got her dressed in the morning while Mikaiya dressed herself. When she saw that Mikaiya was wearing a dress, she started taking off her shirt and saying, "Dress, mommy, dress" and she wouldn't give up until she picked out her own dress, the third one I offered her. Whew...I think we're going to have our hands full with this one!! Good thing she is extra sweet to go along with that little bit of sassy she has in her!

Braenna's 2nd Birthday Party
It's hard to believe that the time has already come and gone to celebrate our baby's 2nd birthday! Braenna had a great time at her "bee" themed party despite the 100+ degree temperatures here in TX. Here are the girls posing for a nice picture before the party:
I made "bee" cookies (oreos with yellow striped frosting). Braenna cannot wait to get a bite out of this one! She spent most of the day in just her diaper because it was so hot...worked out well for eating the messy cookie though too:
She had a blast opening her presents!
And here she is waiting very patiently for her cake:
The cake turned out sooooo cute! I was very happy with it. Braenna was not so sure about everyone singing Happy Birthday to her, but she made it through without bursting into tears. Here she is trying to blow out her candles:
We have so many pictures to share, I couldn't fit them all on here. Here is the link to see the rest:
