Lily is 2!

So, we went to the Tennessee Aquarium today. Since my SO(significant other/Daddy/Brandon) is off on vacation this week we decided that since Lily's birthday was during the week and we weren't having her party til the weekend we would find something fun to do on the day of her birthday. Sounded like a fun idea. My mom(Mamaw/Vickey) was going to come with us. My Dad(papaw/Wayne) had to work. Boooo.
The last time we went was before Lily turned 1 I think. She was a little to small to care much. She just rode in her stroller and slept. So ANYWAY... Today was....tiring.
We took a stroller but we also decided we would let her walk because she could get up close to the glass. Well, we have a monkey backpack with the long tail so you can keep hold of your child. Yeah, the first thing she did was try to run and just like what happens with a dog, the tail pulled and down she went. Didn't phase her. She jumped up and tried to go. And when I pulled the tail she leaned forward like your dog does when he's trying to go faster than you. So....lol. We did leave it on her just in case she broke free but we held her hand and just walked with her or one of us would carry her or hold her.
She LOVED it! Every fish she saw she would say "Hi fishy" and sometimes wave as she's saying it. When we saw the Sea Otters she said "Hi kitty" over and over. OMG! It was freakin' adorable!

Let me take a minute to just say something about people and their lack of courtesy. Yes I realize it is spring break week and yes I realize it was rainy out today so people were looking for inside activities but seriously people!! There were tons of people there and you had the like 20 or so that wanted to just stand there for forever and not care that other people wanted to see also.
And then ya know I know my kid isn't perfect but when there are that many adults and children in one place I think that kids need to be kept under better control. Me and my 2 year old were standing on and escalator going down and there was a girl about 10 I guess who was walking down the side part trying to walk on a part that wasn't moving and keep up with the handrail and I'm thinking if this girl falls shes gonna knock me and my daughter down and probably hurt us all. Parents nowhere in sight. Ugh! So who do I get annoyed with? Parent or child?

Okay sorry, so overall we had a good time. I loved just seeing Lily enjoying herself. But by the time we were ready to go she was over stimulated and in desperate need of a nap but it was too late in the day.

Saturday is her Rainbow party. Can't wait! Will share here.

Happy Birthday Lily Bug! <3Mommy
