Birthday Celebrations

I had a fantastic birthday yesterday and enjoyed a low key celebration with Bailey, Tony, Grandma & Grandaddy. It's actually been a bit of a drawn out birthday since I received an edible arrangement on Saturday August 1st (they don't deliver on Sundays), then we had the celebration on my birthday and then Tony, Bailey & I met Busia, Dziadzia and Uncle Paul in Hearne at the Dixie Cafe for dinner tonight. Dinner with the Ray's has become an annual tradition seeing as my birthday is the 2nd, the Ray's anniversary is the 4th and then Busia's birthday is the sixth. So much to celebrate! I didn't think to snap any pictures this evening but I wanted to share a couple courtesy of Grandaddy in which Bailey helped Grandma make my birthday cake.

Making sure there are enough sprinkles on the cake & that they are in exactly the right place.

Bailey's new favorite place to chill out is the top of the couch. She was completely laid out just like Tony until she saw me grab the camera and then she tried to get up before I could get a picture. It's hard to believe that she used to be such a ham for the camera but now it seems she'd rather take the pictures.

I had a wonderful birthday celebration & I really appreciate the many people who took time to send a card, call, email or send me a note on facebook.

On a side note, we had to take Bailey to the doctor today because she seems to have picked up a little cold over the weekend. For the most part there was nothing new but her height took Tony & I totally by surprise. At two years, 1 and a half months Bailey is 38.25 inches tall. That may not seem all that remarkable but it notes growth of 2.25 inches since June 15 at her two year check-up. How crazy is that! I'm starting to think that she's going to be taller than me!
