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
