Just Two Years


Two years of these eyes. Of that nose. Those rosy lips.


Two years of quiet stolen moments, whispers under blankets, books under down comforters, all while you were stealing my heart.


Long nights of holding you, while I was really trying to hold my heart together.


Two years of you literally taking my breath away with wonder.


Two years of laughing at the big personality coming out of a tiny little you.
 


I'm one happy, (tired), amazed, laughing, joy-filled girl because I get to be your mom. You were made for beauty, little bird. Happy Birthday!

  5. Can I just tell you how my heart is broken over not knowing her, tickling her, laughing with her, at her, for her!? Ugh! Happy birthday sweet girl - you'll meet me one day. And you'll probably think I'm crazy for slobbering tears all over your head as I hug you and cry!

  6. Omg.... We teared up, giggled and laughed out loud as we perused the pictures and words you posted... We can't wait until our 7pm birthday Skype time, you are doing an amazing job raising this little bundle of energy...never a dull moment, as evidenced by your pictures.
