happy birthday hadley

dear hadley,
happy birthday princess... i can't believe you are already two years old!!! wow, that sure did go fast! you are such an amazing little girl, and i adore you. you are funny, silly, kind and loving. you bring so much joy to our family.

carter is very protective of you, and you really look up to him. when i was pregnant with you, all he wanted was a baby sister, and it was an instant bond. you like to pick on poor mason... he is your buddy, and you guys play great, but you can be more aggressive with him and he doesn't seem to mind. he thinks you are just so funny. and now that you are a big sister, you are just so sweet. not a jealous bone in your body... you love to help with baby graham, and you are constantly checking in on him.

hadley, you are the girl i never knew i wanted. i never had a strong desire to have a daughter, i loved having boys, and never thought otherwise until i had you. from the moment daddy said "it's a girl!" i was in love... you are the princess in our house, and you take your role very seriously. you love to dress up, and look pretty. you are always checking out my toes to see what color they are painted. as i look into the future i am so excited about the special things we will do together...

you have a new love for barney... i'm not thrilled, but it is the only show that you will actually stop and watch. it's actually funny for me to watch you watch barney... you love to sing and dance along. it is very cute.

you are growing up so fast! you love to count, and can count to 15. you can( almost) sing the alphabet, and it is cute to listen to. you can walk up and down the stairs like a big girl. you ask to sit on the potty, and then cheer "yay hadley!" even though nothing comes out.

our days are not all rainbows and lollipops... you are a 2 year old, and are not afraid to throw a tantrum if you want. if you are not thrilled with your dinner, you simply throw it which drives me crazy! but at the end of the day, you are our little sunshine, and are a good girl.

i was very torn on what to do about a birthday party for you. we weren't sure when graham was going to be born, and then the stress of the holidays and everything i was just not going to do a party. i then felt guilty and decided to have a play date here. it was perfect! just a couple of kids and your cousins came over... we had pb&j sandwiches, and then cupcakes. when daddy came home we had some cake as a family to celebrate your birthday... it was perfect!

you love your new kitchen we gave you!!! and your big girl room is almost complete!!!

keep being you, because you are the best!!!
love and kisses,
Mommy
