Nati is 2!!!

So Nati is two now and she had the greatest birthday weekend. I say weekend because we celebrated from Thursday (her actual bday) to Sunday. She has been signing "happy birthday" to herself for about 1 month and know we can finally REALLY sing to her!!

Thursday was a low key night. Jason and I gave her our presents from us, we had dinner and had some cake. Unfortunately Nati wasn't able to have her birthday party at day care because we had a ice storm warning on Thursday afternoon and we were let off work early. She couldn't have it on Friday because she had to go see Dr. Hayman for her 2 year check up. Everything went great at her check up, she was such a show off for the doctor!! So now Nati weights 27lbs (50%) and her height is 31 inches (40%).

Saturday morning Tita came over to give Nati her presents. She now loves opening presents and has become an expert!! Saturday afternoon was her birthday party. We had a "bounce party" for her at Kazoing! We rented a room that had 5 of those big inflatable bouncers. She and all her friends LOVED it and had a great time. After bouncing for a while we all had cake, snacks and drinks. I heard from everyone that their kids took a good long nap after the birthday party!!

Sunday, Nati got to open more presents. Since she was so tired after her party we decied to keep her presents from her friends until the next morning. After breakfast she opened all the gifts and played!! She got so many awesome gifts. Thanks everyone for coming!! I think we all had a good time!!

Play Date

Nati and I were off on MLK Day. Bethany and Stella and Danna, Ella and Ana came over to spend the afternoon playing. Nati had a great time. She hadn't had a chance to play with the toys she got from Santa with other kids. They played with the kitchen and bounced on the inflatable castle. They all had a great time!

Nati's New Ear Tubes

So, during Thanksgiving when Nati was sick we found out that one of her ear tubes was clogged. She has had an ear infection ever since. Finally her Ear, Nose and Throat doctor thought it was time to replace them. So, we went into Kosair Children's Hospital for the surgery. it was pretty quick. The only bad thing is that she has to be put under general anesthesia. She did great!! When she came out we thought that she would be upset and feeling bad but the only thing that made her cry was that she couldn't get down to go and play with the toys. Once we got home she was ready to go. She didn't even take a nap that day!

Nati home from the hospital in her hospital gowm. She didn't want to take it off. She wore it the whole day.
