Letters to Emmalyn - You're two!

Dear Emma,

You are two...where did my baby go!? You are so big and so little all at the same time. I can't believe all you have accomplished in these two short years, it is incredible. Watching you grow has been my greatest joy. You have gone from a tiny little babe to a walking, running, dancing, talking, and singing little lady.  You are a serious a lot but when that smile beams it sure beams bright. You have big feelings, big opinions of what you want to do (not surprising since you come from a long line of strong women) and a big voice. I hear you my girl, I hear you...I hear you belting the birthday song from your belly, I hear you running after the dogs saying "no barking at lady Frankie", I hear you in the morning saying "wake up Mommy, wake up Dadoo, wake up sun." I hear you when you are silent too with that thumb in your mouth and reaching your little hands up in the air saying "hold you Mommy." I want to hold on to this age forever...but I know its only mine for a short time. Thank you for choosing me as your Mommy, I would choose you everyday over and over a million times.

I love you baby girl, Happy 2nd Birthday xoxo Mommy

Two year old fun facts: 1. What you love the most right now: Your baby dolls (strollering them, changing them, singing to them), your purse (or Grammy's purse), reading, singing. 2. Favorite food right now: you would live off bread & cheese if I let you. 3. Your favorite saying right now: "sit down Mommy" - I hear this all day long. 4. Favorite color: Every color is blue when we ask you 5. You are 27lbs and 35in high. 6. Favorite song: Wheels on the bus, E-i-e-i-o, Happy birthday

Dear Emmalyn,

How are you getting so big? My sweet girl...you are so full of life it makes my heart want to explode most days. Your personality is shining through more and more, and your just about the happiest tiny human I've ever met. I'm learning more and more how to be a mommy each day, and not every day is perfect, some days I still feel a little lost with no road map. But thats the thing...we make the path up as we go along, and there is something a little scary and unknown but something completely raw and beautiful. Thank you for figuring out this journey with me, I would want no one other then you by my side as we navigate this together. And at the end of the day when it seems a little un-perfect in a perfect way I look back in awe. it is is incredible to watch...I watch you in awe, as you grow, learn, laugh, and evolve into such a beautiful being. 

Love you my girl xo Mommy
