On Turning 2

Amariah, 
 You are two today! The past two years have gone by so fast and you keep getting bigger and older even when we tell you not to. Mommy, Daddy and Jotham all love you so much and love how much joy and energy you bring to our home each day. We love how you pray for your friends every time we pray each day (for Ana, Audrey and (their) Mama), and for each of us too ("Mommy, Iah, Daddy and me!)" And your enthusiastic "A-men" at the end of each prayer is so precious (as Daddy says it's very charismatic). It is so fun watching you and Jotham together, you don't realize just how much he watches out for you and even when you are being too rough with him he still makes sure not to hurt you. We love hearing you two laugh and play together, which often involves a lot of roaring. Daddy loves that he has a dance partner when we go to weddings (and I don't mind sharing him with you). And he loves helping you be a monkey on the pole and playing games with you. We love that you make sure everyone has a hug and a kiss from Daddy before he leaves for work. Mommy loves wearing you in wraps, and loves that you have started doing that with your dolls too. Mommy also love that we still have our own spot on the couch when you want to eat and that you'll kick out whoever is sitting there. It's so fun to watch you pick up on new things so quickly, you are learning new words, colours and sounds each day. You are such a sweet, amazing little girl and we love you so very much. Happy 2nd Birthday!! 
              Love Mommy and Daddy

I refuse to believe that either of your kids are so big! It's so great to see them growing up. But I miss them. And you.
