Happy Birthday Gwenny!

Gwen's 2nd birthday is this Sunday (June 25th). But, since there was family visiting for Michael's graduation last weekend, we decided to have her birthday party a week early.

Here are the pictures. But first, a few stats:

At 24 months, Gwen weighs 25.5 pounds
--90th percentile on the Chinese charts
--38th percentile on the US charts


At 24 months, Gwen is 33.25 inches tall
--75th percentile on the Chinese charts
--43rd percentile on the US charts

She's two!

We had a really fun birthday celebration for her.

First, there was the pool party with her best friend, Benjamin. You might remember him from this jumping on the bed video.


Lots of splashing and slipping and throwing water everywhere! Lots of smiles!
Then there was some cake.

There's no reason to get your hands messy when you can so easily just put your face right in your plate!
Mmmmm! Yellow confetti cake with vanilla confetti frosting!

A party can never have too much confetti!
Yummmmmy!
Then presents!

Gwen gets a little help with unwrapping from her pal, Benjamin. She calls him "B!"

(strangly enough, she also says "D!" instead of "down". Does this mean she'll be an early speller?

First of all, only 25.5 pounds? Sophie weighed 4 more pounds than Gwen on her 2nd birthday! No wonder my back hurts...

That kitty video was darling! Your cat is SO cute- what's his name? Love those kitty kisses!

Happy 2nd birthday, Gwen!

Oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GWEN! Can it be 2 years old already? Time seems to be going so quickly.

It looks like she had a wonderful celebration. Sophia's first B-Day is approaching quickly and we can't wait to see her cake and ice cream face again.

Best to everyone. Miss you,

Kat, Colin and Sophia

Happy Birthday sweet sweet girl- your smile is SO infectious and it lights up the room - well at least my computer screen and I can't wait to meet you and hopefully your sister too later this year.

You are so precious!

Donna, I noticed someone else has already commented about your Gwen's hair, but i will comment again because I really think it is extraordinary for her age! It is SO thick and long! I am finally getting little ponytails in our Gwen's hair, but they are skinny little things!

A Very Happy Birthday to your Gwen!

Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone!

Lynne, Gwen will let me put anything in her hair but the problem is that she won't leave it in for more than 30 seconds! This is especially true of hair clips. So she runs around looking like a shaggy dog (a cute one!) all the time.
