The not so terrible 2

Well, today Gracie Lee turns 2. I really can't believe it. The time really does fly by, and all those mom's were right when they said they grow so fast. She really has brought so much joy into my life, I can't imagine life without her. I know I was meant to be her mommy and am loving everyday I have with her, even though somedays she makes me pull my hair out. =) I love teaching her new things, and watching her learn. It is just amazing how much they know by two. Gracie probably knows well over 300 words (yes I have kept track and written them down). She knows all her colors, and can count to 10. She loves to dance and sing songs. She loves the "wheels on the bus", and "if your happy and you know it". She has developed into this fearless, but shy little girl. She will be shy and anxious in a big group (even if she knows everyone), but is the life of the party when with a few people. Everything she does cracks me up, like how she says "excuse me" after she burps, or when someone is in her way. She has become such a tomboy, and yet so girly. She loves to play with my makeup, and wear jewlry, and still her favorite toy is a ball of any size. I am a little sad she is growing so fast, but know there is nothing I can do but enjoy each and every moment. I hope and pray for another wonderful year with her, filled with joy. I thank God for her everyday! I love you baby Gracie! ~ Mommy

I can't believe it has been two years already. Time does fly by when it comes to seeing your kids grow up. I can still remember the day we brought her home and saying to Sam that we can't return this one, she is ours. Watching her grow up these last two years has been great. I love that she is like a sponge, trying to soak up everything we say and do. I love when I come home from work, she is waiting to greet me with a "Hi Daddy". She has been a bigger blessing to us than we have been to her. She is just so full of life and wants to learn as much as she can. I love her more and more everyday and can't wait to see what God has in store for her and our family. We thank God everyday for putting this wonderful, little girl in our lives. ~Danny
