Navi Baby turns 2!!

The name "Navi Baby" doesn't exactly fit her anymore because she is no longer a baby, (especially with a new baby sister around) but those kind of nicknames don't exactly just go away (just ask my sister "Booie").

 However, the day has come, and my baby is now 2!!

Some of Navi's 2 year isms:

-She loves Baby Trevi and is very protective. If she feels like someone (mostly kids) are getting too close to her, she says, "No! My baby sissy!" (we're working on that)
-She is very polite and says "please, thank you, and welcome" at all the right times. Sometimes even when we forget to say "thank you" she still replies, "welcome!".
-She has made the transition to her toddler bed and usually stays in her bed the whole night, (unless she's stripping down to her birthday suit, but we'll save that for another post) and has been binky free since January. Now we're trying to work on the potty thing...
-She loves to sing and her most requested songs are "Twinkle, Twinkle" and "I Love You" (the Barney song).
-She can count to 15...although 13, 14, and 15 sound similar. :)
-She knows many animals sounds and loves to see the baby lambs and cats Bampa's house.
-She is all girl and loves to get her fingernails painted. At least once a day I get asked, "Mommy! Fingernails? Yeah?"
-She loves all the Disney Princess movies and her favorite is Ariel. She loves the "ahh, ahhh, ahh" song that Ariel sings and usually busts out singing it if Ariel is mentioned.
- Some of her favorite sassy sayings include: "No mom!" "Stop it!" "Go away!" and "Mean, mean, mean!" Sometimes they are actually funny, but usually not at the time she says it. Like in a store when she is freaking out because she thinks she needs something and I tell her no, half the store hears, "No mom! Mean, mean, mean!"

-Her 2 year stats are:
weight: 27.4 lbs - 60%
height: 35 1/4 inches - 90%
head: 19 inches - 75%





On April 14th (and the few days following) we celebrated our Navi Baby by:

The morning started with a #2 pancake. The birthday girl chose to make it blue.

"Minnie Mouse" was also requested

Trevi Girl patiently watched

We got ready for the day in her "Birthday Girl" shirt (I couldn't resist the $5 clearance price) and her birthday crown.

First attempt to get a photo...

2nd attempt

and finally a good one!

Then we went to the mall to meet Grandma Buttars.

She got to ride in the (germ infested...gulp) cars. Hands were washed many times afterwards.

Opening her presents from G&G Buttars

Did you think it was possible to be this excited about jammies? It is.

She gets that from her Dad... :)

Then we went to visit Bampa and Allie.

Trevi's 1 month. I decided to go with the BIG frog so we can really see a difference as she grows.

The day after her birthday we celebrated Navi (and the appearance of the sun) at the park. Thanks to all those who made it!

L to R: Cache, Navi, Sawyer, Dexter (not looking) :) , Jane, Alli, and Tag

Jane, Navi, and Alli

When we got home from the park she had a package from Aunt Darla.

Thanks Aunt Darla!

On Sunday we celebrated with family at Bampa's house.

Navi's Ariel cake

This is a blurry picture, but I love how they're both laughing.

Aunt Allie and Aunt Bekka

(the birthday outfit got good use...it was washed each night!)

Trevi with my Aunt Kathy

Of course, her most favorite gift was the Dora purse that was $2 on clearance.

Another blurry picture, but this is the trike Nate and I gave her

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY NAVI BABY! We love you!

Trevi's First Two Weeks

Two week appointment stats:

- 7 lbs 14 oz - 48% (almost gained a pound since birth!) This makes mom feel much better since Trevi has NOT been the the best nursing baby!

- 20 1/8 inches - 50%

(It's a new experience having a baby with 50% stats because Navi has always been in the 90% or higher)

More cheesy smiles.

Navi has taken up the big sister role  and is very protective of "Baby Sissy". Whenever Trevi makes the littlest peep, Navi will come running. She will try and give her the binky or give her a kiss and say, "What wrong Baby Sissy? You ok?"

I was trying to capture a kiss but I couldn't time the delay. I was either too late...

...or too early.

Another awesome sleeping position for Navi

Comfy?

A picture of Trevi and Parx, her birthday boyfriend buddy.

And Navi got a popsicle to keep her entertained while we visited. She is thrilled as you can tell.

Just a nice reminder of my IV from labor...

...apparently my vein burst.

I just thought it was funny how she put her hands.

These are to remember her lovely locks in case they fall out.

I'm praying they don't and that they stay dark.

Definitely my most favorite picture so far!

Trevi has been a perfect little edition to our family and we are so happy to have her here!
