Happy 2nd Birthday Baby Doll!

Wow, how time flies. Two years ago this morning, I was sitting in the living room of our old house, timing my contractions together with your father's help, completely unaware of how drastically our lives were about to change. I would have never guessed then that two short years later you would become the most amazing person I had ever met.

Today you are two years old! (I actually have a two year old!) I've said it before and I'll say it again, your new toddler sentences blow me away. Last night, in the bath tub, you told me you needed a towel. I don't even know if you've said the word "towel" before.

I can't even recall a time when you didn't speak in sentences...how did we communicate three months ago? How did I know that you needed or wanted anything? How quickly I forget.

Possibly better than sentences, however, is the singing. I love your singing! I could just eat you up when you sing "bicycle!" at the top of your lungs to Queen's "Bicycle Race". You've helped me get over my own fear of singing in public. Now we happily belt out tunes as we stroll through the grocery store or walk through the park.

I don't care who hears me, I'm just enjoying my duet while you'll still sing with me. One day you'll say what I used to say to my mother all the time: "Mom, don't sing!" Until then, we will sing and sing loudly!

I could go on, but I know that these wonderful times are just the tip of the iceberg of what we have to look forward to together. Happy birthday Kaylin. Even though you are two years old now, and you're more a little girl than a baby, you'll always be my "baby doll".

Love, mommy
