the blue blog archives: greetings from the birthday house

Yesterday, she had little friends over for birthday cupcakes and an impromptu dancy party. And today we opened presents, including her new dolly.

She was a little disturbed when she first opened the box and found a dolly that wasn't quite her dolly. But once we got her old dolly and she realized this was a second one and no terrible fate had befallen the first one (something horrible like having her be her original pink color again!), she was okay with it. "New dolly," she said. And then, "two dollies!" Uh-oh. I'd originally made the new dolly so we could wash the old one, but I fear she may have other ideas!

Hppy Birthday, Wee One! I love that last picture - you can almost "see the wheels turning" as my mother would've said. "Hmmmm - TWO dollies - YAY!"

Happy Birthday Wee One!! I can hardly believe it has been two years, but you are so grown up and pretty you could pass for three.

So cute!

Posted by: Leslie at March 8, 2009 1:46 PM

Oh, Happy Birthday, Wee One!

I remember my second birthday clearly. My mom gave me Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls she made for me. I still have them. Maybe Wee One will have similar memories of her dolly (and her mommy).

TWO!!!!??? Is this really possible? Time really does fly. What a fun day for a two year old:)

Posted by: Jeanie at March 8, 2009 6:51 PM

I have to ask about the dress. Did you sew it for her? It is adorable!

Posted by: Sandee at March 8, 2009 7:22 PM

: ) Happy Birthday Wee One.

Enjoy all the dollies your Mom can knit.

Posted by: Jennifer at March 8, 2009 7:23 PM

Happy birthday, wee one!

Maybe she's looking at her twin brothers - then at the dollies and thinking "Oh, so this is how that happens!"
Happy Birthday to a gal who always puts a smile on my face.

Yep, I bought a spare "Mr. Puppy" for my two-year-old son so that I could actually wash them. Well, he discovered that there were two in the house, and yes, you guessed it, they BOTH sleep with him. ;-)

Posted by: Teish at March 9, 2009 1:16 PM

Wow! Time flies. Happy birthday!!

Posted by: colleen at March 9, 2009 2:45 PM

Happy Birthday, Wee One! Did your mama make your dress, too? (Did I somehow miss that post?)It's so cute!

Posted by: Minneapolismama at March 9, 2009 6:08 PM

I see we are in the same situation, Teish! :D

Sandee, I wish I'd made the dress. I'd like to be able to someday. That's one reason I got the serger. But I'm not there yet. This one I got from an etsy seller, littleovercoat. She makes awesome stuff!!

Happy Birthday to a two year old girl !

I've enjoyed watching you get bigger and bigger through the magic of your mom's blog. I hope that this next year is a great one, Wee One !

Posted by: Linda at March 9, 2009 8:57 PM

How precious! Happy Birthday Wee One :)

Posted by: Melissa at March 9, 2009 9:57 PM

Her strong loyalty to her toys rates a solid "Awwwwwwww" on the cute-o-meter. And she really knows how to accessorize--love that!

Posted by: Dava at March 10, 2009 8:15 AM

wow! happiest of days, wee one!

Posted by: rebecca at March 10, 2009 2:48 PM

Happy Birthday Wee One! Glad the Dolly clone didn't faze her too much, lol!

Posted by: Eklectika at March 10, 2009 9:34 PM

Happy Birthday, Wee One! I can't believe she's 2 already!! When I first started following your blog, she was still in mommy's tummy, heheh. And double yay for 2 Dolly's!

Posted by: C at March 11, 2009 12:46 PM

First...Happy Belated Birthday!

Second....I'm sorry but she can't be 2 already. I remember when I first started reading your blog and she wasn't born yet. Where has the time gone?

Two dollies...what else could one ask for.:)
