Happy Birthday, my sweet!

Today is Gaby's 2nd Birthday. It is so crazy to me that she is already two! Next thing you know I'll be writing about her 18th birthday. My little sweetie is such an angel! And occasionally at times a challenge :) She is a fiesty, intelligent, funny, happy, caring, adorable, gentle soul. It's so fun to hang out with her. I have been so priviledged to be able to spend as much time with her as I have and to be so much a part of her day to day life. It's so true that time goes by so quickly and as you can tell I've tried to capture every single moment so that we can always remember all the little things. That's why I love this blog. It's great to be able to share the moments of her day to day life with our family and friends but more importantly it will, hopefully, be something that she can look back on when she's older. So I'd like to list a few of the things that I love most about my beautiful daughter at this awesome age of 2....

-when she talks on her pretend phones with who knows who and actually laughs at whatever it is they are saying

-her precious little chicken dance

-her sweet little kisses when she thinks you are sad or hurt

-her contaigious explosion of giggles when you tickle her

-her total adoration of Rosko and always wanting to hug & kiss him

-her always wanting to take her shoes & socks off

-the thrill she gets from running around naked

-the way she plays with her babies, putting them to sleep and covering them with blankets

-how seriously she takes her cooking from her pretend kitchen

-the cute way she puckers her lips and blows on her food when it's hot

-the way she smacks her lips when she's really enjoying what she eating

-how she loves singing along to her favorite songs

-how she runs with absolute abandon!

-how it takes a little while for her to wake up in the morning (just like mommy)

-how she totally enjoys her baths

-her love of reading books (I hope it sticks!)

-how adorable she looks when she drinks out of a water bottle

-what a great roadtripper she is

-how like a true girlie girl she loves playing with purses and bags.
Of course I could go on and on but I wouldn't want to bore you:) Bottom line is that Gaby is a doll and we feel so blessed that she is a part of our lives. Happy Birthday, sweet baby! Your dad and I love you more than words could ever express!
