To Violet From Mommy

Dear Violet,

This month you turned two. I'm amazed at how quickly time flies by now. Each day you make me smile, and my happiness to have you in our life is so strong there really are no words. I am so glad we chose to become a family and add you into it. I often want to think of just the right words to let you know how much I love you, and how much you've changed our life (for the better of course).

I love you little smile, your silly laugh, and your sweet personality.

I love your little hands and feet

I love your beautiful green eyes, that came straight from your daddy

I love to see your passion for food, and your ever changing pallet

I love how you say "elmo" even though I really can't stand elmo

I love how you take your food apart and eat each piece as a separate entity

I love that you are making decisions now, even though NO seems to be the dominant word

I love the gap in your front teeth, it reminds me of my dad

I love that your are still fearless, no matter how many owies you have that week

I love to watch you dance, even if it is Beyonce (we will talk about your music choices later)

I love to watch you read your books every night, and watch the wonderment in your eyes as you listen to your daddy tell you fantastic stories

I already see that you are going to be so gentle and caring with others, it's amazing how kind you are it humbles me. I'm still amazed at how quickly you've grown, and how much I have also grown in these 2 years. I've learned to balance everything in my life, and although some weeks I feel like a crazy lady, I think I'm getting the hang of it.

I can't wait for the joys that lay ahead for us as a family. I can't wait for your words to grow into sentences, and for to share your thoughts with me. You can take your time though, I don't want time to move too fast.

XXOO

Love your Mommy
