Dear Lilah,
On September 13th you turned two. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you! You are beginning to put sentences together, working on potty-training, and learning to ride a tricycle. You love your one Barbie doll, which is constantly "naky" (naked, and you get ANGRY if we try to put clothes on it), and Daddy is embrassed any time he is spotted carrying your clothes-less Barbie. You also love helium balloons and a dog puppet that Mommy had when she was a child. Even though it's technically a dog, you call it your bunny.
On your second birthday we took you to the Sisters City Park. Daddy and Mommy sat on a bench and watched you as you ran around the playground ALL BY YOURSELF! You even climbed to the highest slide and slid down all by yourself. If we tried to help you -- you would point to us and say, "Sit down Daddy! Sit down Mommy!" You are confident with an endless amount of energy!
As we watched you exploring the world on your own, we mused on the last two years. Such a short time frame! You are such your own little person that we sometimes wonder where exactly how you came to be. Don't get us wrong, we DO understand how pregnancy works and remember your birth, but your little soul is so beautiful and unique -- surely your life comes from something beyond us. Mommy is thankful every day that she is here to enjoy you, and you in our lives has been a blessing and a gift.
We love you beyond words, and can't wait to continue watching you grow. Happy Birthday Lilah Rose!
