Just the other day I heard you say "love you" for the first time. My heart skipped for joy to hear those two little words.
You still speak a lot of gibberish but you are using more and more words in context. It's so much fun to hear you say what you are learning! Guess I better not use the word "crap" around you anymore.
Yesterday afternoon I really felt like a mom when I called you to the dinner table. Then you even responded with a "Kay!".
You are a rascal when it comes to changing your diaper or brushing your teeth. But it's gotta be done. No one likes a saggy bottoms-monster breath baby- No, big girl.
You still love to watch a few television shows here and there but you really love to read. And you really love to play with your baby dolls.
You have a beautiful heart that is full of compassion. You show it with a concerned "she sad" whenever a baby (or doll) cries, the dinosaurs in your book show tears, or someone in a book has been splashed. At least you care :)
You still love instruments and play like a rockstar on the guitar. You have no idea what to do with your left hand but you strum like a pro with your right.
You are infatuated with shoes! You wear momma's shoes all the time, dancing around in my fancy gold shoes with all the bead work. I fear for their lives! But you've got great moves and have improved your "slide".
You know how to shake your groove thang and have become an excellent hopper.
You are very good when it comes to praying before meals, although you tend to sneak a bite or two, and you listen when momma prays with you before bedtime.
You have become a "daddy's girl" and he finds it hard to work from home when you're too cute not to play baby doll's with.
You still have your beautiful curls and they manage to disguise how long your hair really is.
You officially do not like baths.
But you love to swim.
As long as you don't get splashed.
You're not dramatic at all...
You have a beautiful singing voice and awesome dance moves, especially in the car. I love hearing a "momma!" only to turn around to see you showing me how your groove to the song.
I love when you read out loud to yourself. And even to momma or dadda when we were trying to read to you in the first place.
You're very good at sharing... when you want to.
You're a good "momma" to your "babies".
You always seem to request one more book at night even though we've just read four. And I always seem to be suckered in.
You love to squeal and run away. Especially when we're trying to get you ready for the day.
You have a funny thing of running back and forth between the tv, landing on the couch.
You love your new bean bag chair. You even dragged it from your room to the living room.
You're a good listener. Especially when I start counting to three.
You had a naughty streak of saying "two" if I said "one" in my countdown.
You're loving, kind, and compassionate. A wonderful little girl and I hope to have 10 more just like you.
I love you so much, my sweet baby girl. You'll always be my baby, no matter how old you are.
Momma
This is just absolutely too sweet! I'm all teared up from reading it. She's got a wonderful mamma and dadda. I'll be she'll really love being able to look back and read these letters that you wrote to her. You should turn them into a little scrapbook someday for her. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Amelia! :)
Yes, what a wonder post for a wonderful daughter! I can't believe Amelia is 2 alreay - growing way too fast. She is so adorable and takes after her parents! I am so thankful that you both share her with us all at VV. I love to hear her "chatter" and put her arms out - that always makes me smile and "laugh".
