hi honey

you are two now! and you love to put your fingers together and make a two symbol, it takes you a while but you get it! and when people ask you your name you say "two!" we were walking to the park and you were playing with rocks on the way and then we told you we are going to the park, so you said no rock, I am going to the park. see you later. it was just cute. and when daddy was leaving for work, you made sure he gave you a kiss, and me a kiss and hunter a kiss, and you even wanted him to give auntie a kiss..he had to draw the line somewhere! we had a fun weekend, went to wild waves, and to an outdoor concert with Auntie Sara and Anna, and to a baby shower. and to Gina's pool! you crashed for 3 hours on sunday. then we went to have mexican food with Auntie Katie, and you just love playing with Jeffrey and Lucy! you love to sing your ABC's and for some reason you like me to sing baba black sheep to you. your favorite show is yo yo gabba gabba...it's awful. and you love mickey mouse. I really want to take you to disneyland again! your birthday party was so much fun, and you had all the people close to you to come celebrate! we had a bbq at our house and you even had a pinata. you loved the whole hitting and the candy. you got your first bike from your sissies! and even though your feet barely hit the ground, you love riding it around the block with your helmet on. you look so grown up! you still love to cuddle and grab my ears for comfort. I love it. k, love you!

Happy 2nd Birthday!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday!!!
Happy birthday sweetie! You love to sing the birthday song, and so we sang it to you this morning, but you always like to put other peoples names in it. But today is your day honey!!! You woke up at GG's house, and you had a donut for breakfast. Such a special treat! GG gave you a beautiful saphire necklace that we will hold until you are older. But you do like it and say "that's my necklace." This morning, you had your first experience with the fireplace. Daddy told you it was hot, but you had to try it yourself. I feel so bad, but it's not a bad burn, and I think you may not do it again. I hope. I can't begin to tell you how special you are, or how much joy and love you have brought to our lives. It's hard to watch you grow so quick, because we love your cuddles, and when you grab our ears and put your face against ours, and just want to hold us, because someday we know you will not be so cuddly. I am just soaking you up. I love so many things about you, my heart could explode. It's true that you are my heart walking around outside my chest. I love your laugh...and how you get a kick out of everything. If GG responds to your doings, you just think it's hilarious. I love how your whole face smiles and squishes up. I love how you grab my ears or your ears or anyones ears, even other babies to soothe yourself. I love how you give hugs and kisses. I love how you have me give you a hug and kiss then have me give daddy a hug and kiss. I love your excitement over bubbles! I love how you love your cousin hunter and always worry when he is not with you. I love how sweet you are to your babies, and how much you help with real babies. I love your dimple in your nose. I love when I ask you colors of things you always say yellow. I love how happy you are. I love how every time we go grocery shopping you ask for a donut. I love watching you have conversations with other toddlers, and how you reach out to touch their face lovingly. I love how you do push ups and lunges with your daddy. I love how you talk on the phone. I love how you grabbed GG's novel and sat and pretended to read it. I love how your favorite song is ba ba black sheep and you make me stop singing other songs to sing that one. I love how sometimes your a mama's girl and in the mornings your a daddy's girl. I love watching you try to dance, as you have our moves, which isn't saying much. I just love everything about you. We are so blessed you are in our lives. We couldn't imagine a more beautiful first daughter. You are a dream come true. We love you sweet baby.
