We celebrated Serena's 2nd birthday last week - had a few good friends over for a dinner of Serena's favorite foods, opened some gifts, and ate birthday cake. It was fun, and I've now coached her enough that she'll answer "two" if you ask her how old she is. You wouldn't have to ask, though, if you saw her in the nursery at church where almost anything another kid touches is "mine." In all fairness, she spends enough time there to make a common law claim.
Turning 2 meant a move into a "big girl bed." Since we plan to move Asher into the same room in a bit, this meant some creative furniture moving on our part to fit the crib, twin bed, changing table, 2 dressers, book shelf, and rocking chair all in one room. We're happy with the result, though, and think they'll do well in there together. Serena only fell out of bed a couple times and seems to have the hang of it now.
Serena is wonderful at 2 years old and we are so proud of all she can do and say and how much more she learns every day. We feel so blessed to have the privilege of being her parents.

Happy Birthday Serena! Asher looks SO adorable. We too continue to struggle with our angst over having a child dropping off the lower end of the growth chart. Sophia has been 18 pounds for over 6 months now. These girls should be supermodels!
Thse pictures are great!
