I can't believe this but my baby girl turned 2 this last weekend! Yes, Sunday the 18th was her birthday. We celebrated her birthday on Saturday with a really small party with close kiddo friends and family. It was Finding Nemo themed and she was thrilled! I'm still in shock we've reached the "terrible twos". I pray that this year goes smoothly. She's totally coming into her personality even more than ever. Poor baby ended up getting sick the night of her birthday and is just now getting better.
I'm so blessed to be her mama. She's starting to get really clingy with me which is draining at times but this is the first time she's ever been that way, she's usually so independent. I love that she wants to cuddle with me nightly now and she gives me random hugs and says, "I love you Mama." I LOVE my little girl and I can't wait to see what this year brings for her! She's my little buddy and I love being around her!
OK I'll stop being a sap!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lolo Bear!!! I love you!!
Mama
Some of you know I've been wanting to get this tattoo for quite some time, well today was the day! I'm so excited at how it turned out. It didn't hurt as bad as I had built it up in my head. My good friend Holly came with me to document it! If you'd like to see more photos you can see them here. I know this means if I have another kid in the future that means another tat, cool with me!!

Well I've been updating you so far and here is the latest!! This is what the artist sketched for me and I also have a booked appt. for the end of the month!!!! It's going to be in color too!!! I LOVE it!!!!!
Here's the blog I wrote awhile back about my idea and this matches perfectly!

I'm soooo thrilled!!!!
Just had to share!
Well as some of you know I've been contemplating for over a year about getting a tattoo representing my daughter and for my love for her. I am THRILLED to say it hit me last night while in bed!!! She was just diagnosed with a Stills Murmur by her pediatrician the other day. It's nothing horrible or bad, nothing wrong with her heart or any cause for concern, I did some research and found out the other name for it. It is called the "musical heart", this soooo fits her!! She was dancing in my womb and has always been around music, this is the first baby I know who has had an iPod in her room since the day she was born. She dances to every type of music even in commercials, she definitely has a musical heart!! So this is the basis of my tat, I want the heart to be the main part of a body of a bird, coming from the back side of the bird will be musical bars with notes from the song "Miracle" by Celine Dion (this song is exactly how I feel about her), the notes and bars will flow into feathery swirls (tying into my love of swirls and my series Swirlyville). I want it to be soft and flowy!! I'm sooooooo excited about this and that the idea finally came to me. I tried drawing it out but the idea in my head and what's on paper aren't meshing so I'm going to go to the tattoo artists today and see if they can sketch it out for me. I'm going to put in on the inside of my left wrist, where my creativity flows from, I'm a lefty and she's my inspiration!!! So when I have the sketch I'll show ya and when I get the tatt I'll show you as well! I'm sooooooo very happy about it!!!!!
TTFN!!
I can't believe how fast a year has gone! She's such a wonderful daughter and watching her grow daily has been a blessing. She's doing so much now and is just soooo much fun. We're celebrating with a big birthday party tomorrow for her. I love you Lorelei you are our miracle!
I'll leave you with the words to my new favorite Celine Dion song "Miracle", this song sums up exactly how I feel about being a mother and having such a sweet baby girl.
Miracle - Celine Dion
You're my life's one Miracle,
Everything I've done that's good
And you break my heart with tenderness,
And I confess it's true
I never knew a love like this till you....
You're the reason I was born
Now I finally know for sure
And I'm overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
With all the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more?
The nearest thing to heaven,
You're my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect looooove
When you smile at me, I cry
And to save your life I'll die
With a romance that is pure heart,
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires,
I live for your desires
Forget my own, needs will come before
Who could ever love you more?
Well there is nothing you could ever do,
To make me stop, loving you
And every breath I take,
Is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams and know for sure
Who could ever love you more?
