I can hardly believe that my baby girl is two. Two years old! She has grown and changed so much in the last 5 months. No more pacifier, no more diapers, no more nursing, and as of two days ago no more crib. It is wonderful to be done with those things, but now I am faced with the reality that she really isn’t a baby anymore. She is growing up so much and she is so full of love, joy and energy. She is my little bird, singing constantly-in the car, to her baby, on the potty, at bedtime. She loves to sing and she loves to read. Books are one her most favorite things. She always has so much to say and loves learning new things. Audrey loves being around people, sometimes when it is just the four of us at dinner she will ask where everyone else is. She is super social, and always remembers the people that she meets and/or sees. One thing I LOVE about Audrey right now is that she asks to pray for different people we know all of the time. Several times a day she says “Dear God, ______.” As in she is starting a prayer and inserting the name of who she wants me to pray for. It is awesome. She is a super compassionate and thoughtful girl. She also really loves to play outside, eat, go for walks, eat, play at the beach, eat, dance and eat. Really she does love eating, and she will eat just about anything I give her-which is such a blessing. I don’t know too many other toddlers who ask for more brussel sprouts and broccoli. 
Her favorite are berries and coconut pancakes though. She loves her sister and they play together pretty well…most of the time. She is very very sensitive and acts personally offended when things do not go her way. She favorite line lately when she gets sad about anything is “hug mommy!!”. Although, if I am having to reprimand her, she instantly wants her daddy. 
She loves to go for walks on our street with Scott & exercise with him at night. She is daddy’s girl. Just like Aliza at her age, her favorite thing to do on a daily basis is dance in costume to “That’s How You Know” from Enchanted. It is pretty adorable. This is pretty scattered, partly because since I started writing this one hour ago, she has gotten out of bed five times. One of the times she went into Aliza’s room, slammed the door and turned on her light-while Aliza slept through the whole thing. Another time she came into my room and told me she was sleeping in daddy’s bed instead of hers. Hmm….maybe she wasn’t quite ready to be done with the crib. :/ Anyway, Happy Birthday Sweet Audrey! You make my heart smile, and I am so blessed by your life. Xoxo

That last paragraph made my whole family laugh out loud! What a funny girl!
She is precious and I’m so thankful to be a part of her life!
