Happy birthday to everyone else
November is a popular time for birhtdays. First there was me, of course. Then Aiden and Uncle Greg a day later. And then Jeff on the 11th. Happy birthday to all!

My 2-year-old stats
Now that I’m 2, I don’t mind being put on a scale or getting my head measured or taking off all my clothes. This time, daddy brought my pink robe for the visit so I wouldn’t be so cold. Want to know how big I am? Drum roll please:
Height = 35 3/4-inches, 90-95th percentile
Weight = 26 pounds, 6 ounces, 50th percentile
Head circumference = 50 cm, 95th percentile
Yup, I’ve grown a whole lot. Remember when I was just 1 year old? What a baby I was!

Happy Birthday to me! I’m 2!!
My birthday was on a Friday this year. My parents got lazy and didn’t have a big party for me, just family and close friends. Still, I got some cool gifts and got to eat turkey legs so I’m happy. (And from the slim number of pictures, you can see they were even too busy to take pictures and video!! Sheesh!)

Halloween 2009
Halloween 2009 was fun! I finally got what trick or treating was about. I went to Old Towne Orange where my friend Hannah lives and went Trick-or-treating with her. I also handed out candy at her house afterwards with several friends, including Science Dude. My Meema made this neato Bumble Bee costume for me. I decided Friday before Halloween that I wanted a Pink Bumble Bee costume, but since no such thing was invented yet. Mommy convinced me to wear this one. The costume was a success. I took home beaucoups candy, but Mommy & Daddy secretly gave most of it to Hannah or ate it themselves.

My favorite: turkey legs! (yup, at Disneyland again)
As you may or may not know, we became annual members of Disneyland, which is great because that means I can go anytime I want to. Of course, I have to wait for a ride. I’m free anyway. One more year of freeness.
Daddy got a turkey leg for us and this time, I really chowed down. Yummy!
And even though we went on Nov. 1, they still had all the Halloween stuff up. Purty, eh?

My last trip to Texas for free
My parents can’t believe they’re going to have pay full price for me on my next trip to Texas. Face it! I’m a big girl right now and way to squirmy to sit on a lap for 3 hours!
Being almost two in Texas is great fun because everyone thinks I’m the cutest thing around and they buy me lots of presents and cute clothes and toys. Plus they read to me and entertain me for hours and hours. Thank you everybody!

Pretty things with Aunt Bama
When I visit Texas, I get to do whatever I want, including wear all the blingy jewelry from my grand aunties. So pretty! Aunt Bama (that’s Bama like Grandma, not Obama), gave me all her jewelery for the day. After my public showing, I gave them back to her, just like the actresses on Oscar Night give their jewelery back.

Yes, they do have beaches in Texas — with dead fish (eek!)
Mommy scared of dead fish. Wouldn’t you be too?

My first trip to the Magic Kingdom!
Unkie Jon Jon and Auntie Kiki (Uncle Jon and Auntie Karen to grown-ups) found out there’s a great deal for California residents at Disneyland, $99 for 3 trips (including the normally blacked-out weekends and California Adventure!). I was free, of course. Until 3 years old. Now that’s a kid’s discount!
I invited Ah-ma and Kong Kong along. Kiki and Jon Jon came, too. It was a big family outing. My first and mostest favorite ride was Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. It was in a submarine, but you had to wait in line above ground for over an hour just to ride it! It was near the place in Disneyland Unkie Jon Jon got lost over 36 years ago. Luckily they found him last week, he had been living on Tom Sawyer Island all these years. He still thought Nixon was president and CB radios were cool. I told him about Twitter and the Internet. He said he’d look into it.
It was a bit hot during the day, and Disneyland was a little bit crowded, so we headed over to California Adventure. But not before stopping by the happiest changing station on earth in Disneyland. Mommy’s friend Nancy told her about it. Daddy also bought me a big balloon before we made the trek to the less crowded sister park.
I’m not old enough or experienced enough to know the adults had more to do at California Adventure than I did. Disneyland is the place for me. Next trip I’ll get to go on all the famous Disneyland rides with Ah-ma. I did get to ride a few rides and see some shows. Kong Kong decided the Mickey’s Fun Wheel (Ferris Wheel) with the swinging gondolas was his favorite ride. There was even a talking turtle named Crush (though I’ve never made it that far into Nemo to know who he is).
Ah-ma bought me a pair of pink mouse ears with my name on it! Can you believe they stock “Widget” hats? I couldn’t either. They even had “Bort” ears (but they were out of license plates). Thank you Ah-ma!
I got to see TWO parades! One was a Pixar parade (video on right). It was neat and wet. Everyone seemed to think the participants were famous from the movies or something. I wouldn’t know. I’ve only made it about 15 minutes into Nemo, and no minutes into the other ones.
The other one was at night — the electric light parade. It was more exciting, and cooler. The characters were lit up and didn’t squirt us with water like the Pixar people.
Afterward everyone made a mad dash for the exit to see the last remnants of the Disney fireworks show. I saw lots of booms.
Afterwards I slept well. They tell me I will get to go again soon! Hurray!
