Celebrating 2 Years with My Baby Girl

Today we're celebrating 2 years with my sweet Lydia. Two years ago we were awaiting the arrival of our baby girl, born strategically early for Christmas. Greeting us 6 lbs, 13 oz, snuggled up in a tight ball, not really wanting to come out. Wanting to be held and swaddled all the time.

We took her to have her photos taken today and she was all Lydia. Not a smile, just a coy look and a grin. Never really wanting to take too much notice. Preferring instead to be on Mommy's lap. Only warming up after we took out Elmo.

A two year old party this weekend included lots of family, and a few friends. Again, our shy little girl only really crack a smile when we sang "Happy Birthday." The white kitty cake was perfect for our sweet baby girl who chose to Meow at it while Grandma was decorating it.

Today we play at home, plan some yummy dinner, and cherish the memories we've made over the last two years.
