Dear Lily,
Today, my sweet baby girl, turned two. I can't believe it. It feels like yesterday that daddy and I brought you home from the hospital. You continue to put a smile on my face and in my heart. I love you to the moon and back, higher than the sky, and deeper than the sea. You have changed our lives in so many ways these past two years...all for the better. I do need to let you know something though...you are very ornery and very hard for your mommy to control sometimes! It is getting harder and harder to take you out to different places because you don't always like to be a good girl...instead you like to throw fits...MAJOR fits. That is okay because no matter what you are my little girl and I love you very much. You are just at that age.
We celebrated your birthday on Friday with lots of friends and family. You had a Minnie Mouse pizza party. It was obvious by the turnout of just how many people love and care about you. You got so many presents that now our house looks like a toystore!
You started going to daycare again, but just two days a week. You really seem to like it there with your teachers and new friends. The other day mommy thought you were such a big girl because you got out of the car by yourself and walked up to the door and started playing right away. Mommy was so PROUD of you, and a little sad too. I know you will always need your mommy, but that day it felt like you needed her a little less. I am just happy that you like your new friends and that you get to do fun stuff. Today in church you joined the "older" nursery group, and you colored mommy and daddy a pretty cool art project! It is now hanging on the fridge. Ga Ga, Maddie, and mommy took you out to lunch today for your birthday. Daddy had to work, and he was very sad he didn't get to spend all day with you. You love your daddy very much and you are TOTALLY a daddy's little girl. You often tell mommy to "GO" because all you want is your daddy.
You have some pretty big news coming up. In just 5 short weeks you are going to be a BIG SISTER! Aunt Kylie just had a baby girl and you already love that baby and want to hold her and kiss her, so I can only imagine what you will be like with your own baby in our house. Mommy is pretty sure you are going to be the best big sister ever.
