May celebrated her birthday this year by moving into a brand new flat! Actually, that is a bit of a lie. May celebrated her birthday with her mama, while her daddy moved everything into the new flat.
Photos of the new abode to come (and incidentally, I’m posting this the day before, as on the day my connection to the internet ends! GASP! How did people communicate pre-internet?)
And now (drum roll please!) in keeping with previous birthday posts: Let’s celebrate!
May when you were born, here is what the doctors definitely knew you would be able to do:
- pee
- breathe
At two years old you can:
- drink from a cup
- eat some chunky food
- delight when Mama and Daddy repeat your sounds
- jump (bouncing taken to a whole other level)
- stand up nice and tall with little support (see photo above)
- wear shoes
- tell us you want tickles
- belly laugh until you lose your breath
- stretch your arms over your head
- request a drink (I make that sound so polite. Miss May makes her request by screaming until her demands are met.)
- sit comfortably in a Bumbo chair without falling forward
- rename your blog…
What’s that May? You want to rename your blog? Oh, I see… you aren’t a baby anymore. Well, I don’t think Mama Lewis and the Amazing Adventures of the Half-Brained Toddler has the same lovely sounding alliteration, so you may have to put up with it for a bit longer.
Happy Birthday May! We love you!

I hope you don’t mind getting this link from a total stranger
http://niederfamily.blogspot.com/search/label/video. At November 2010 there’s a video titled something like “Doesn’t everyone sweep their floor this way?” The little girl just reminded me of May – I wondered if this was something she would also enjoy? Best wishes to all your family. Helen
I don’t mind receiving the link at all! Loved the video – and I’m definitely definitely definitely going to try out the moves on May.
