2 years old

 Happy Birthday Abigail Emery! It's hard to believe my little girl is officially 2 years old. It feels like yesterday I was kissing this sweet face for the first time:

 Oh, you are growing up so fast, but we are loving every minute of watching you grow!

On the morning of your birthday, we celebrated with gifts and a birthday breakfast. You definitely understood what it meant to be the special birthday girl. Before Christmas, you didn't even know what it meant to see a big box all wrapped in pretty paper, but you are VERY excited about presents now! You loved all the special attention. Some kids hide their faces when lots of people sing to them. You smile your biggest smile and sing along enjoying every minute of it! 

Yay new markers! You love to color.

We spent a lot of the day in here!

Our plans for birthday dinner were postponed when you started your first battle with the stomach bug around lunchtime. Of course, it wasn't fun to watch you go through that, but it was reassuring to see your mood stay as happy as ever. And we saved your birthday cake for the next day! We can say it was the year you learned for the first time that birthdays should be week long celebrations.

At your 2 year doctor appointment, you weighed in at a little under 24 pounds (but that was after your stomach bug) and your height was 33 1/4 inches. 

Happy 2nd Birthday to my lovely little girl! I'm so blessed to be your Mommy.
