Autumn Turns 2!

Well Autumn is officially a toddler! We had so much fun celebrating her birthday and Easter over the last few weeks. Unfortunately Autumn was actually sick on her birthday (which fell on Easter) so that day was pretty low key as she wasn't quite herself. For a few days starting on her birthday, we were afraid that a little toddler fairy had come into her room and gave her a crash course in "how to act like a 2 year old", but we were relieved that once she started feeling better she went back to her normal self. We had her party on the 10th and by then she was good to go so we had lots of fun and were so thankful that she was happy and healthy for that.

Here are some pics from March and April so far, including her birthday and Easter.

We went to Toledo in March to spend some time with Nick's family. Autumn saw Brady's underwear and thought they were a hat, so for the next 8 hours this was what she looked like :) Here's a picture of Grandma Church helping her wash her hands.

On April 3rd we went to an Easter egg hunt at the park by our house. Even though Autumn wasn't 100% she still had a great time. I think she makes a pretty cute snail :)

These next three pictures are on Autumn's birthday. We thought it would be fun to let her help bake and decorate her own birthday cake. We really did have fun watching her decorate it and eating it wasn't so bad either - it was very crunchy!

Autumn's masterpiece

One of her birthday gifts from Mom and Dad...a new slide!


...and these are pics from her E-I-E-I-O birthday party on the 10th. Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us! Autumn had a great time playing with everyone!

Autumn has spent a lot of time since her party pushing her new Ernie around in her new stroller! She is a little partial to Ernie these days.


The three most important people in our house right now...the pig and cow balloons from her party and Ernie. She said Ernie wanted to have his picture taken with them so she could see it in the camera.
