Happy 2nd Birthday to my Baby!

Happy Birthday to my sweet TWO-YEAR OLD, Violet Grace!!

This is always the year when you stop being my baby and start becoming a big girl. You have changed so much over the past year. You love baby dolls and purses. We often see you pushing your baby dolls around in the stroller with a purse over your arm full of all the essentials a mommy needs – phone, chap stick, bracelets, Lego men. You want to be helpful and your two chores are dust busting under the dining room table and throwing any and all garbage away. You can be the best at picking up toys, but only when you want to and if you consider it fun.

In the morning when I bring you downstairs, you have three questions for me - "Where's Dada?" (sleeping), "Where's mmm mmm?" (your milk which we promptly get from the fridge), and "Where's kitties?" (it's become your job to open the kitty door and call them upstairs). I am continually amazed at how different each child can be, and your favorite foods include bananas, fruit snacks, cheese quesadillas, and hummus with pita chips.

You love your older brothers and sister and want to be involved in all that they do (unfortunately for them sometimes!). However, you also enjoy the mornings when they are all at school. You play by yourself for at least an hour and love having the run of the house. You are still my Mama's girl, though, and most times, you are right by my side.

I love you so much, sweet girl, and a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!
