Since our last post Little Miss Amber has turned 2!
We had a small family party again this year, just "Papa" and the Lee family. Although she didn't fully understand the concept of opening presents she definitely enjoyed seeing (and playing with) what was inside each one. She was spoiled once again this year!
For Amber's cake this year I experimented with Elmo cupcakes as Amber loves anything to do with Elmo.
I think they turned out fairly well for a first attempt. The real test was when Amber saw them I asked "who's this?" and she happily replied "Elmo!!"
Her favorite part of the cupcake was Elmo's eyes so she spent most of the cake eating part of the party asking everyone for "eyes?", which was the cue to give up at least one eye to the birthday girl.
The night before Amber's actual birthday, Tim and I spent a solid 3 hours setting up Amber's new kitchen (generously given to her by her Uncle Paul, Auntie SJ, and cousins Georgia, Oakley and Elwood). When Amber woke up in the morning and saw her new toy she said "wooowww" and eagerly started to play with it. Needless to say it took longer to get her to daycare that morning!

In other news, I've been growing steadily.
This time around I feel like I've been growing much faster, which is apparently common. Nonetheless I still feel quite large for how relatively early it is. Over the last week or so I have actually started to feel the first kicks as well. Pretty exciting :) Although my memory has likely faded drastically since Amber was in my belly I feel like this new baby is a lot more kicky than she was.....hopefully I'm wrong!
