We have a 2 year old!

All kinds of emotions come rushing in when I think about having a two year old. 

I keep asking myself, where did the time go? 

I'm sad that my baby is now a tot. I'm happy to be able to see her personality soar; It is thrilling to witness. I'm thankful for her health growth. I'm grateful for modern technology/processes to help with her eyes. I'm always shocked and tickled to hear her say new words. I'm so lucky and blessed that God gave us this child. 

I'm so optimistic for her future... but it would be nice to freeze time for just a little bit.

Everyone keeps asking Dustin and I when we are going to have another one and I keep telling them, this is my absolute favorite stage of her life. Hands down. It would be hard to bring another little nugget when we are having so much fun. 

Ask me again in a couple of years... :)

To our little girl 

that has a belly laugh that makes everyone else laugh

that has a smile that brightens up every room

that is such goofy jokester just like a her daddy

that is very sensitive and so nice

that has the best ginger curly hair, which makes this mama jealous

that is the BEST sleeper (daddy and I thank you!)

that talks non-stop and repeats everything we say

that has the two year meltdowns down pat already (watch out everyone)

that loves to be outside - playing, running around, picking flowers and playing with friends

that is obsessed with "Minnie", "Robin", "Cats", "Elmo" and "Puppies"

that loves to read books 

that makes wearing glasses and a patch look incredibly adorable

that makes this Mama and Daddy so proud to be her Mama and Daddy.

Here's to another year Emma Bug! Happy 2nd birthday sweets!

Mama and Daddy love you to pieces!
