24 months of Lila

Oh my sweet and lovable Lila.  Where have the past 2 years gone?  It really does seem like just yesterday we brought you home (cliche I know) all big (to us!), healthy, and full-term. 

You stole the hearts of so many.  Especially your daddy (who will swear up and down that he isn't wrapped around your tiny little finger).

You make people smile and laugh.  This is such a great trait and I hope you continue to do so throughout your life.  You say funny things, like to play babies, dance, eat, and watch shows.  You are independent, patient, loving, thoughtful, and silly.

You are on the go.  A little tornado in the house.  Your toys are always all over the place while you are taking your babies for a walk, feeding them, or putting them to sleep.  I love listening to your little conversations and when you want me to join you say "On mommy! On mommy!" (come on mommy)

You have to sleep with two pillow pets, three blankets, and countless babies.  Sometimes I sneak in to look at you and you'll have your babies covered up next to you.  Such a little mommy.

You love Dora the Explorer, Team Umizoomi, Super Why, babies, dogs, cats, ducks, geese, yogurt, snacks, "Jew-ee"(princesses), games, phones, Brendan, and of course "Dee" (your most favorite thing!)

You are very dramatic and love to put on a show.  Temper tantrums are hilarious (to us) and you have to sit in time out sometimes.  You will walk up to us and say "Hit daddy" and hit him or "Hit mommy" and hit me.  This earns you a spot in time out.  You always say "Sor-ee momma" and give us a hug.

We are so happy that you are you.  We love you Lila!  Happy 2nd Birthday!
