Baby's turning two...

I cannot, cannot, cannot believe it, but Brooke will be two in just 4 short days!! The two years of precious time with her has literally flown by, and I am so proud of the happy, smart, kind-hearted little girl she has become. I am thankful for everyone in our "village" -- helping us over the past two years, to care for and raise our little darling. Mostly, I am thankful for God's grace, and the infinite amount of patience he has granted, as we have navigated the uncharted waters of parenting. I know we are EONS from being finished (and for that I am so very grateful)--but two years just seems so huge! Brooke is a little girl! Not a newborn, or an infant, or a baby, or a toddler...a little girl.
In honor of her big day on Saturday, here is the rundown of Brooke's day to day life:
She is a sweetie...she now tells Daddy and I "Yove You" whenever she hears us say it. She gives "hugs and love" to anyone who asks, blows kisses after saying "bye bye" and likes to be rocked for a few minutes before nap and bed time.
She is a helper...she LOVES to help Mommy unload the dishwasher, sort and fold laundry, swiffer the floors, turn off the TV and lights when we leave a room, and lock and unlock the car.
She is rambunctious...she loves to run in the sprinkler, climb the stairs, dance dance dance, spin in circles till she's dizzy, play "Ring around the Rosies," and swim at the big pool.
She is social...time with friends is her favorite! She gets so excited to see her friend Connor who lives next door, and the 2 jump up and down squealing when they reunite. She loves playdates with her friends from church, sharing toys and snacks in church, and meeting other kids at the pool and park.
She is  dare devil...She is not afraid of anything. She has no problem putting her face in the water at the pool, climbing to the top of the biggest slides and sliding down alone, she seems to think she is much older, and will try anything!
She is a little Mommy...she loves to rock and pat her babies, change their clothes, wrap them up in blankets, feed them, give them baths, and cover them in kisses.
She loves to sing...her favorite songs are "Twinkle Twinkle..." and "Jesus Loves Me" but she also loves to sing along with radio songs, sing the "Hot Dog Song" and repeat anything that Mommy sings.
She is our pride and joy!...we could not feel more blessed watching her grow and getting to share her with the world. She is our little miracle and we love her so.
Happy 2nd Birthday, Brooke Camille Davis!!!
