Today you are 22 months old...yes...almost 2 years old! I cannot believe my baby girl will be two years old in just 2 short months. I love you more and more everyday. You put a smile on my face and in my heart. You are my pride and joy and you make my life worth living. You are my reason for being. I can't even begin to imagine or even remember how our life once was before you came a long. You are ornery as ever, but what can I expect...you are MY child! You are as curious as ever and into EVERYTHING. You 100% know what "NO" means, but you do it anyways and then you look at mommy and daddy with those big brown eyes so how could we possibly ever get mad at you?! Those big brown eyes get us everytime. You are beautiful with your hair that gets redder and redder everyday and you soft little curls that hang down your back. You probably need a haircut soon, but mommy doesn't want to do it...she doesn't want to lose those curls. You change so much everyday and so I continue to take a million pictures of you everyday because I don't want to miss anything. You are growing up right in front of daddy and I. You are looking at me right now with a strange look on your face as if asking me, "Mommy, why are you crying?" I tell you "because I love you more than anything in this entire world."
About a month ago you gave your daddy and I the biggest scare of our lives. I will not write about it in your blog, but I promise to tell you about it one day. I do not take any single day for granted with you and I do not want to have any regrets in the way your daddy and I have raised you. You are the best and most important thing that has ever happened to us...please never forget that Lily Rose.
You continue to be your daddy's little girl and it shows that you love him so very much. You wake up every morning and the first thing you usually say is, "Where's dada?" You continue to ask for him throughout the day until he comes home from work. I love nighttime because you are usually pretty cuddly and you love to rock in your new rocking chair. You love to read books and you I think mommy and daddy have The Princess and the Frog and Finding Nemo memorized. You have really enjoyed the summertime. You love to color with your chalk on the driveway and go to the parks and on walks. Once you are outside it is awful hard to get you back inside. Each night we find our big bright shining star off to the west of our house and you tell it goodnight...we call her Evangeline just like in The Princess and the Frog.
Some of your new words and sayings are: No I not!, No you didn't!, I don't know. Hiiiiiiieeeeee. Your vocabulary continues to grow everyday and you chatter more and more, but we are still working hard to always figure out what you are trying to tell us. Daddy has even taught you some sign language that you have been using. You can sign please, more and thank you. You love to swim and you still love to play with your cousins and your grandmas and grandpas. You have a new love for babies. Mommy has some friends with new babies and you love to hug them, hold them, and kiss them...you even sat on baby Rylee when you and mommy babysat her! You know that there is a baby in mommy's tummy and you give the baby kisses everyday and you hug it and pat it, but mommy and daddy aren't sure you really understand that there will be a real baby that we can't give back coming to live with us in October. We are working hard to try and teach you about our new baby.
You still remain a picky eater, and it often frustrates mommy and daddy, but I think you do the best you can. Breakfast is always your best meal of the day and dinner is always your worst. You are growing so we aren't too worried. Your biggest news is that you have started sleeping in your new room and in your big girl bed! You have done so well and really impressed mommy and daddy! I could write an entire book to you Lily. I just want you to know how very blessed your daddy and I feel to have you as our daughter. We are so proud of you and we love you to the moon and back little girl.
Love,Mommy
