Happy 2nd Birthday!

A baby no more, according to some she's not even a toddler, she's a pre-schooler now. To me, she will always be my baby girl. It is amazing how much she's grown, how much she's learned, and how much joy she brings to our lives. The days leading up to her birthday she sang "Appy Birfday to yoooooou, appy birfday Cecilia.." and she enjoyed every minute of the celebration, from her birthday blessing on Sunday at church, cupcakes with friends on Monday, voting, going to the zoo and dinner with family on her actual big day on the 6th to the finale on Saturday with her Paul Frank party at Tia Kiki's house with her friends and family. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

October in Miami: C is 23 months old

It is amazing that this is the last month I will be reporting C as being "X months old"...wee one is about to turn TWO! This is insanity! My sweet baby girl is an adventurous, funny, lovable, smart toddler who loves her cousins with all her heart, who loves going to school, who looks forward to time with her Coco and Sunday dinner with the Tios. She loves to cuddle, she loves to eat dinner with the family, and is literally moved by music. She talks up the wazoo, likes picking out her shoes in the morning and is definitely bi-lingual now. Thank you all for being a part of her life,for making  her smile and for reading our stories for the past 2+ years.

The other funny and fantastic (in our opinion) thing C does, she identifies Obama/ Biden signs and bumper stickers and says "OBAMA!" and then if you ask her who the President is she says, "OBAMA!" and when you ask her who is going to win the election she says, "OBAMA!" ...smart kid. We'll see tomorrow!!

Have a great month! 

XOXO
