You must have been so excited to come and join our family. We were really surprised when you came a week and a half early. We worried that you would be born on your sister's birthday, and we so wanted you to have your own special day. Thankfully you were born the day before her birthday, and you were a very healthy baby girl. We felt so blessed that you wanted so badly to come to our family.
You grew so fast over the next few months. You kept hitting milestone after milestone early. We had one big health issue with you when you were about a month old, but after that you grew and changed and were a very healthy little girl. When you were six months old you went through a big change-moving cross country-and you did so well! You were always such an easy going baby.
Then you turned one. I couldn't believe how fast the year had passed. You had gone from crawling to walking to running every where so fast!! You were starting to say more and more words, and you loved to dance. You got to have your own chocolate birthday cake, and oh how you loved it!!
When you turned 18 months it seemed that time was passing too fast. I couldn't believe how big you had gotten in just 6 short months. You had developed a great love for dancing, and you had become the biggest hambone-always making people laugh and loving to make people laugh. We were amazed at how fast you were learning new words and picking phrases up.
Now you are 2. It's hard to see my baby get so big, but you make up for it in all the snuggling you like to do with your Daddy and me. You have such a big heart-always concerned for others, and so full of love. You love blowing kisses and giving big hugs. You still love to dance, and you love tickle fights. You have so much fun playing with your sisters, and it makes my heart soar when I hear you giggle and screech with delight at the things your sisters do to make you smile. You are still my hambone-always finding ways to make people laugh, and in turn making yourself laugh. You have no problem letting us know what's wrong or what you want-you speak in clear sentences almost all the time now. You have even made it clear already that you want to use the potty like your big sisters. You look up to them, and want so badly to grow up and be big like them, and while it makes me sad that you are growing up so fast, you couldn't have better role models to look up to.
Everyone around you loves you Shmoo...it's hard not to. Your sisters love you so much, as do your Daddy and I, and we would do anything for you. I look forward to all the years to come-the laughing, the playing, the bad and the good. We sure love you Shmooie. Happy 2nd Birthday!!
