There are so many things to mention about Ansley, but it's almost impossible to wrap her up in a few short paragraphs. Here's what I can think of right now about her latest goings on....
*"No meeeamm (no maam)!" This is Ansley's new phrase these days when you know she's serious about "no".
*She loves to talk on her cell phone (she found an old flip phone lying around and loves it). She walks around jabbering nonstop and every once in awhile I'll make out a few words. A lot of times I'll hear her say....Oh gosh! And then she giggles. So hilarious.
*She is sporting a feather in her hair like her momma. She got one just for her birthday in a light pink to match her party. My cousin, Danielle put it in her hair and now she's her new best friend. Ansley calls her "Donelle" and we all get quite a kick out of it!
*We've learned what an animal/insect lover she is. She's not afraid of anything! She even loves bugs and frogs...she's quite the tomboy! On her birthday she caught some baby frogs in her pink Barbie net. They were so cute and she was so proud of them!
*She has recently wanted to be involved in the daily shoe picking process. She loves her shoes, especially the pink ones!
*Another favorite phrase...."No, no Ansley do it! K, K?!" She is definitely Miss Independent!
*It's confirmed...she's a water baby. She loves any chance she gets at swimming and she has no fear. Jumping off the side of the pool is nothing for this little turkey!
*We were finally able to paint her toe nails....thanks to Heather! She's a fan now and sits so still when I paint them.
*We've noticed that when she gets really excited about something she shrugs her shoulders up and down and does it several times in a row. It's like she does a little dance and smiles from ear to ear. Most of the time she does it when she's excited about food (usually ice cream) or when she knows you're going to sit and play with her (she loves having a playing buddy).
Now, on to the party!
The party invite for her second birthday
The Birthday Girl!
The sweets table
The number 2 I used scrapbook paper on and the birthday hat I made out of coordinating paper and a feather boa I had.
The cake I made with one layer of strawberry cake mix, one yellow, and Ansley's strawberry on top was also strawberry. Every layer had strawberry pie filling in between and buttercream icing with fondant covering them all. My fondant was a little flimsy so my decorating looks like a Kindergartener did it ;).
The table centerpieces were a variety of cute strawberry shortcake or strawberry pictures and some of just Ansley. This is her invitation picture.
