Caitlyn Turns 2 Today!!!

Just a few reasons I absolutely LOVE my 2 year old!

Caitlyn Leigh...

I love waking up to you every morning, I love the way you kiss your hand and wave good bye to me on the days I go to work. I love that you are getting better at communicating through sign and words! I love that you love cinnamon rolls and that you really love love love your dad! I love that you are totally into copying everything I do even if it is something like trying to put on my face cream or hairspray (although it probably doesn't seem like I love it at the time). I love that you are one of the most affectionate and gentle toddlers I have ever met. I love that you rubbed your Dad's back until he fell asleep last night. I love your blond curly hair and how you are the spittin' image of your dad! I love that you sing to me in the car and when I sing to you, you try dancing with your brother by tugging on his arm. I love when you come and give me hugs and especially kisses when I don't even ask. I love the way you fall to the ground when singing ring around the rosie. I love the way you get scared to talk to the elephant on the phone but then can't stop talking about it for days. I love how you listen for your brother on his monitor and the second he makes a peep, you let me know ash is up and you run upstairs to check on him. I love the way you run into my legs and hug me when you are super excited or scared. I love the way your tiny feet look in salt water sandals. I love that you can talk to me in long sign sentences. I love the way your voice gets so excited for cinnamon rolls and you yell, "roll roll!" I love that you know how to open all the doors in our house now, even if it has made nap time a little difficult. I love how you squeal with excitement and run to the door every time any of our family comes over to visit. I love watching you sleep and I love even more that you are sleeping right now so I can write about how much I LOVE YOU! I love that you challenge me every day to be the best Mom that I know how to be.

Thank you sweet Caitlyn Leigh for being so darn lovable!

Happy 2nd Birthday!
