As we celebrate your second birthday, there is so much I want to say you. My heart is so full of love for you baby girl. I hope you always know how badly we wanted you, how we hoped and prayed for you. The day you were born was like opening a perfect gift. You are the fire and spice of our family, and I simply adore your beautiful spirit. There are times when we hear your laugh - the deep, chuckle that comes straight from the gut - and Daddy and I have to just stop in our tracks and enjoy you. We do that thing where we just have to look at each other and we know what each other is thinking - "how did we get so lucky?" You have a zest for life that is contagious. To see you with your brothers brings us a joy I know you will only understand if you have children of your own someday. I always want to remember you at this tender age. You, with your smirk of a smile, sassy walk and pigtails, are permanently etched in my memory.You certainly wear me down with your strong will - peanut, you really do - but I know that you are meant to be my girl, my precious gift. And I pray that you will someday do something amazing with that determination. Slow down baby girl, stay little a little while longer.
xoxo,
Mom
P.S. I meant to make you a video for your first birthday, but the last year has been a little busy. So you get two years, because you're that special to me.
