The much unawaited... 2018 Williams Family Review!

Josephine's TWO-TWO party

I literally came up with that catching moniker the day of her party. Pretty proud, not going to lie.

I decided on a ballet birthday party for her because I figured this was the last year I would have any say over the theme and gosh darn it if I wasn't going to get one ballet party out of the girl thing.

She GASPED at each present when she opened them and I about died <3 p="">

Delgado's brought the Mexican piñata and it was the best

Jojo is T W O ! ! !

On the morning of her second birthday we awoke to her diving into the top layer of her birthday cake.

We got cleaned up and celebrated with donuts, singing happy birthday and candles and all.

We then made our way to several Halloween stores to purchase the little boys their Halloween costumes. Jojo immediately took to this purple velour cowgirl hat. Also it's important to note, she was standing near this spooky decoration and then walked out of it towards me to the SURPRISE of an adult man. It FREAKED him out. 

We waited a week to celebrate her birthday with family so that evening I made a cake for her for our small group family.

We gave her her presents the next morning because she's two and has no idea what a birthday even is. Also she didn't have that many presents because I kept giving them to her early.

Here's what her second year of life looked like...

15 months; says daddy, mommy, molly, dog, shoe, sit, no, she plays peekaboo, knows the "how big are you" trick, claps, points and throws a diaper away when asked.

18 months; says "where's daddy?," mine, slide, swing, Elliott/Jared, Reagi, Shep, Vi (Levi), points to ears and belly, eyes, says truck, plane, block, obsessed with hats, "Shep bite?," "daddy crying," and "my mommy."

She is our babiest baby. Our very own Shirley Farley, curls and carbs. The novelty of her being a her still hasn't worn off. No one commands the room of brothers quite like she does. She loves babies and shoes. And worms and baseball hats. She shushes me when I reprimand her. Lifetime member of the clean plate club. First to break a bone. And when she holds your face between both of her chubby hands, and talks to you nose to nose.... she wins. Everything. She wins everything.

Jojo's birthday party

I can't help but gravitate towards anything "bunny" for Jojo. They just seem so sweet to me and that's exactly what she is. Plus my security thing when I was little was a plain linen stuffed bunny so maybe that's why I'm partial to them too. Anyway, I decided Jo's birthday party needed to be bunny themed. 

"Some-bunny is one."

Reagan drew that large bunny silhouette for pin the tail on the bunny.

2/4 crossed eyed children 

I spy a set of toes under there.

Zach and I shocked ourselves with how excited we were for her to get "girl" toys. We even mentioned it a few times post-party too. A year later and the "girl newness" hasn't worn off. So strange seeing pink things around our house. I still dress her in navy most of the time.

When your birthday is the week before halloween you also have bats on the wall behind your birthday cake.
