2 Years Ago Today...

Two years ago today my world changed forever. My darling baby girl came into this world and little did I know how immensely she would rule my heart. As I celebrate her day today, I am also celebrating the gift of being a mother. Little did I know how much I would look forward to seeing her smiling face and bright blue eyes every morning. Or how just holding her and breathing in her smell would instantly take all my stresses away, it still does, and I'm sure it always will.
Its amazing how fast time really does fly once a child enters your life. How I've watched my little baby turn into a booming toddler. From the baby who could barely lift her head to the 2 year old who can run circles around her father and I. I am so proud to be her mother and today, on her Birthday I would like to highlight for her some of the reasons why:

She is the most loving and easy going kid I've ever seen. She never hits, yells or fights with any other child, (which is pretty common for her age group).... but she just takes it all in stride.

Her sweet little voice just lights up my life, the way she'll try to sing songs that she loves and on the words that she knows she'll sing those really loud, otherwise sort of hum along the rest of the song.

The way she knows how to make her father and I laugh by squinting her eyes shut and giving us an all teeth and gums smile that seems to take up her entire face.....priceless.

Listening to her talk to her babies and stuffed animals when she is in her crib, she has such strong motherly instincts already, and how when I'll go in to tuck her in before I go to bed , she will have all of her babies covered with her blankets but no blankets on herself.... once again, such a giving child.

The way she really does listen, she'll sit and observe and take it all in and then days later tell you a story about something she heard you talking about days ago.

Kara truly is such a beautiful child, she gets comments from strangers all the time on her beauty, but the thing they don't even know, is that she is twice as beautiful inside. She is my angel from above sent down for me to love.

Happy Birthday Sweet Heart!! We love you more than you know.
