Happy Birthday Lila!

Sweet Lila, you are 2 years old today.

 We cannot begin to express how lucky we are to be your parents. You are the cutest and funniest little girl we've ever known.

 We love that you still need us at times but are a strong independent about most things.

 

You certainly keep us on our toes and for that we are extremely thankful.  

A few notes about you these days...

 

You can put on your own socks, shoes, and coat. And enjoy doing it.

 

You are a fairly good sleeper but continue to wake up at early:o'clock.

 

You are a typical 2 year old when it comes to eating. About every 3rd meal is a good one.

 

You still love to read books. Especially if they are out of Nate's room.

 

You have a physical streak that we have to manage. You also have a highly dramatic brother that fits right into your plan. Every. Time.

 

Your nicknames as of now are LuLu, Lulie Bell, Lu, and Sissy Lou.

 

You are a smart little cookie and are starting to recite books and songs from memory.

 

You still love going to school and keep your class on their toes too.

 

You talk a blue streak and continue to amaze me with your cognitive abilities. Sometimes words or phrases come out of your mouth that seem out of place for a girl your age.

 

You like to play babies using my old cleaning rags as your baby blankets. You lay everyone down in your room and place a towel over their face. It looks like the morgue.

 

You have learned to like coloring and can sit at the table in your room for quite a while coloring dogs, cats and circles.

 

You are still in your crib, but won't be for long. Katie, bar the door.

 

You are the light of our lives along with your brother and make all of our lives complete.

 

 

We love you LuLu and hope your 2nd birthday is 100% fabulous!
