Our baby girl is 2!! I can not believe that she has been with us for that long. I am so grateful for her presence in our lives. I get so excited when I even think about her. As she sleeps in the room next to where I am typing I picture her there with her sweet face with those beautiful eyes closed...dreaming. I would love to go in there and hold her to me and let her sleep.

She is an incredible little 2 year old. She is FULL of spunk and personality. Sometimes that spunk drives me bonkers, but it also makes me laugh and wonder what she will think of next. She is learning so much, so fast. She is doing so much, so fast!

Things that drive me nuts: climbing onto the table, using the chairs to get on top of the counter tops, climbing up the shelves in the pantry, taking all the Kleenex out of the box and either tearing it up into little pieces or throwing them all over, unraveling the toilet paper, climbing up the appliances, pounding on the candy machines at the hockey rink and scoring free candy, needing to climb up the giant cement stair at the rink, needing to disrobe any time she hers water running in the shower or bath tub (this would not be so bad but she is a water hog), and NEVER wanting to sit in a stroller or shopping cart ("I walk mom!"), throwing food or using food as body lotion...ahhh.

Things that are just too cute: wanting everyone to do ring around the rosy a billion times, asking for "nuggles", reading book after book, her pretending to read books, she hears music and she is dancing, she likes to show everyone what she is wearing, she is constantly trying to make everyone laugh especially at the dinner table, her excitement when Holden's hockey bag comes up the stairs (she loves hockey because she scores the free candy), singing "Happy to You" to herself on her birthday, her excitement over animals, when she rubs my arm or hair, calling Holden Bob or Bobbie if he is not paying attention to her...this list could go on and on:)

Liv, you are a tremendous blessing in our lives. I cherish you!
