Jennie, my tiny little 6 lb, 5 oz newborn baby girl turned two on December 8th. How did that happen? It is really possible that its been over 730 days, and countless memories in between, since she changed my life forever? In this age of digital photography, we have about 11 GB of photos of our daughter... no joke. I picked out a few from the last two years to share:

Its been an amazing two years so far - a journey I wouldn't change for the world. At two years old, Jennie is blossoming into a sweet, organized, talkative, independent, and loving little girl (among other things, too!) Jennie can be a little "two" bossy, but I love her strong personality and take charge attitude. She is developing friends at play group and play dates. She likes to sing songs, read books, and dance. Even if she asks me to read the same books 6 times per day, I don't think it's "two" much - especially when the next day I catch her "reading" it herself from what she has memorized. Jennie loves to go outside and walk to the park - she loves to swing, and feed the ducks. She loves her routines, and is a creature of habit. Jennie loves to play with her baby-doll, and will do everything from feeding her, burping, changing her diaper (including wiping and putting on "cream," haha), rocking her to sleep, singing her songs, and giving her baths all by herself. I love to spy on her when she is playing pretend by herself. I can never get "two" much of that!
Everyone thinks they have the best child in the world - and I know that I have the best little girl in the world for me. I have loved every moment of the last two years (OK - lets be honest - almost every moment) and I am looking forward to all the adventures I have to experience with her for years to come. Especially interesting will be adding baby number two in about two weeks! Jennie is going to be an amazing big sister.
Happy birthday Jennie Anne! And many more.....
