she's two

and i can't believe it. what happened to the little baby? where are the bottles and pacifiers and blankets. i don't even carry a diaper bag anymore. she plays with dolls and can carry on a conversation with anyone. she sings songs from high school musical 2 and dresses like a big girl. she has an attitude and stands her ground. what happened to the little baby that i held in my arms two years ago and cried with joy to hold my little girl for the first time. her sweet smile and adorable personality bring sunshine to my life and my heart. we had a "small" but loving celebration. all of her grandparents were with her, aunts, uncles and cousins and even some friends. she was so exicted when we sang happy birthday to her. her smile was wide and beaming. and finally there are dishes and dollhouses and more girl clothes in the house. what fun she and i will have. (the boys secretly enjoy having it in the house too). i think that now i will just watch her grow and discover. she has exceeded every expecation that i had. i can only imagine what surprises we are in for. thanks to everyone for helping us celebrate her birthday and looking forward to celebrating with others in the weeks to come.
