2 years ago today

Two years ago, our lives were forever changed. My grandma went to meet her Creator in Heaven. She was the glue that held our family together and we still struggle daily without her. She is still missed greatly and we look forward to the day that we are re-united. We love you!

Enjoying the sunshine

I love my new swing!

Trouble

I know how to find trouble...my mom just has to turn her back for a second!

Birthday party #2

Thank you for all of my presents!

Dig in!

I was very careful not to get too messy.

Beautiful Cake

This beautiful cake was made by my Great-Grandma. Thank you!

My current stats

Here are my current stats from the latest doctor's appointment....

Height: 78cm

Weight: 20 pounds, 8 ounces

I have a chest cold today, so thankfully I didn't have to have my shots. Please pray that I will feel better soon!

One year ago

One year ago, I was apparently in a big hurry to see the world. Mommy tells me that I came 11 days earlier than expected, after only two and a half hours of labor. Now that I am a big girl though, I am happiest just hanging out at home...listening to my music, reading my books and playing with Jackpot. I am not in as big a hurry to see the world (although I am looking forward to going to the playground when the weather gets a bit nicer).

Thank you for all my birthday wishes!

It's my birthday!

So cozy

I just wanted to show you my 2 favorite blankets. I just love all the colors and they were both hand-made by very special people. Thank you Auntie Joyce and Grammy!

Daddy's coming home!

My favorite time of the day (and Jackpot's too!)

I'm no baby

Despite this bottle, I am not a baby anymore. I took my first steps last weekend!

Scary?

For all of you out there that think this looks scary, you haven't seen how good I am at going down the stairs. I do it all by myself now (but Mommy always watches out to make sure I don't fall - don't worry!).

Check this out!

Hooray for me!

It's official! Mommy quit her job today so that she could stay home and spend more time with me. I am so excited!

Bed time

I love it when Daddy reads me stories before bed. He is the best!

Watch out...I'm coming through!

Daddy thinks that if I can push the walker, I should be able to push a lawn mower too.

Spoon feeding myself

It's a messy job, but somebody has got to do it!

Caught in the act!

This might be the reason why Jackpot is always by my side at lunch time.

Stairs

Stairs mean nothing to me now. They are so easy to climb up! Going down is another story though. Why aren't I allowed to go down head first? That way I would be able to see where I was going!

Climbing

A little bit of help was needed to get up onto this chair, but I almost climbed it all by myself. No obstacle is too big for me!
