Lydia Turns 2 Years Old - Part 1

I can't believe that Lydia is already two! She is getting so big and so smart. Justin and I sometimes have to remind ourselves that she is just a little girl still. She tries to reason with us and can usually get her way by pleading a simple "please, please, please." Justin and I got her a tricycle for her birthday and we had it set up for her when she woke up. She was so excited when she got on it and we pushed her around the house. She kept saying "more please, push."We finally got her off of it and she got to eat pancakes for breakfast. After breakfast she rode her bike for a little (a lot) longer.After Lydia was done she wanted to give Buzz a ride.Lydia was then in charge of making her birthday cake. This is her pouting before we started because I wasn't going fast enough. She has been doing this pout for a while now. It is so funny.Lydia loves helping make things because she knows that she gets to eat it. She calls it yum yums.
Lydia was then in charge of doing all the dishes. She loves playing in the water.Lydia was then in charge of sweeping the floor.
After Lydia swept we blew up the birthday balloons.I love this picture of Lydia. She looks so cute. It's not very often she actually looks at the camera and does any sort of a smile.My dad was working in Salt Lake today so he came by and we went to the Equestrian Center to watch the horses for a while before we were meeting up with Justin for lunch. Lydia was so excited and climbed up onto the rails to watch the horses as they went by.We had only been there for a few minutes when a lady came and asked if we were there watching anyone. We told her we just wanted to let Lydia watch the horses and she offered to let Lydia ride her horse. Lydia was so excited. Lydia holds on and stays on the saddle all by herself. I tried to keep hold of her leg and she would get annoyed with me and move my hand away. It was so nice of the lady to let Lydia ride.
Lydia also had a lot of fun running up and down the bleachers.After the Equestrian Center we went to Del Taco (or taco taco taco as my dad calls it) for lunch.Lydia's favorite thing to do when we eat out is to blow the papers off of the straws at someone. She does it and giggles. It is cute.Lydia definitely enjoyed eating her burrito.We couldn't leave little Brooke Brooke out, so her is one of her playing with the straw that my dad always twists up for her.
