Gretchen's 2nd Birthday

Gretchen turned 2 and we had a fun party with local family members. Recently she really likes Minnie Mouse so that's the theme we went with.

Unfortunately Ben couldn't be at the party due to being out of town for training.

This mom is quite proud of her little girl!

Happy 2nd birthday, Sweet Girl!

A few days after Gretchen's birthday she had her two-year wellness check with the doctor. He is pleased with how well she is doing. She weighs 24.5 lbs (10th percentile) and her height is 34.5" (75 percentile). She's an active, obedient and joyful child. We are blessed with such a wonderful child!
