2 years old!
WOW! I cannot believe it.
It is amazing how quickly time flies!
She has been talking about her birthday the whole weekend!
"Charlotte's Birthday!! Be 2!!!"
Charlotte had a pretty easy going day yesterday.
She woke up in the morning and came into our room to cuddle and fall back asleep
as is the usual for every morning.
But as she came into the room, Jackie and I told her HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
She was so excited!
She was so excited!
She crawled into bed with us and Audrey, and we talked about what was going to happen throughout the day.
My mom was going to come over for a bit.
Then, at 7 pm we were having my dad, Granma, Papa and Aunt Lori over for cake.
Sunday night, I told our Pastor and his family that they should stop by if they liked.
So......we hung out in the morning.
She opened the present from us.
Then, momma came over and she opened her present.
She stayed a little while, then left.
Charlotte ate her lunch and took a nap with her "new RELLA pillow and blanket!" from MiMi.
Jewel came over for a while, watched me bake a cake,
and clean up a bit.....{she was on baby-duty!! ha-ha}
Jackie came home from Wal-Mart,
Our Pastor and his family came over.
Poor Audrey was having a day, though.
She wanted to be fed just about every hour!!!
So, I was in and out of the nursery or our bedroom so I could feed her.
At 7 my family arrived!!
We ate our dinner
Charlotte opened her presents
Blew out her candle {off the cake that I baked...YUM!}
{but, Jackie put the icing on}
So, Charlotte had her cake and ate it too!
What more can you ask for on your birthday!?
It was a very good day.
Yesterday I wanted to post a sweet little letter to my little girl.
But this weekend was crazy...and so was yesterday....
I will write something this week.
I think I may just keep it private anyway.
I will say this, though.
She is an awesome little girl.
We have our fights...{sometimes more than one a day...ha ha}
But, that is because she is a lot like me, so we tend to butt heads.
Really, though. She is a sweet baby. {I mean toddler....awww...my baby isn't a baby..}
She is intelligent. Not just smart, but really intelligent.
I hope I can get that video of her up here soon, of her being UBER-intelligent!!!
She knows the letters of the alphabet, knows the sounds they make..and can count to eleven.
{we are working on getting to 20!!!}
She has a very large vocabulary.
She loves her daddy!!
She gives the BEST bear hugs...
and the most awesome nose kisses!
She loves to tickle and be tickled.
She loves her little sister.
LOVES to hug her and kiss her.
She asks "what's wrong Audrey?" everytime she cries!! It is incredibly sweet!!
Everytime she eats something she thinks is good..she says.."MMM Delicious!!"She loves the Disney Princesses and came name them all...by like 18 months.
Charlotte loves to read....
She loves going to the library.
She loves storytime at the library.
LOVES to do the Hokey Pokey!
She knows her right from her left.
She gets excited when daddy comes home.
When she hears an airplane or helicopter {as she calls it} fly over our house,
she says...AirPANE...HEAR It!? heckacockter? Hear it!?
Loves to "rock a minute" before her nap.
And, LOVES to SING!!!
During choir practice at church, she likes to sit in the choir loft with us and holds music and sings along with us.
My little girl is growing up.
It is a sad, but wonderful thing.
I love my first born.
For who she is and for who she will become
{whatever the Lord has in store for her, will be an awesome thing to witness.}
I am very proud to be a mother, but I am even more proud to be the mother to her.
