2 today.

I can't believe it.
Where has all the time gone?
In honor of the birthday girl, here are 10 things we love about her:
1) Getting an unsolicited "hug & piss."
2) How well she is talking.
She is getting really good at expressing herself and forming quasi-sentences.
3) That this is her favorite song.
4) She is always up for a snuggle
...and a treat.
5) When she turns "circles!"
6) When she grabs our hand and leads us around the house.
7) That every time I turn on the Kitchen Aid she yells "cookies!"
{and...more often that not she is right}
8) When she names a subject and says "talk."
ie. "Mama horse talk" then she waits for me to talk to her about horses.
9) That she likes to say prayers.
Her list of "thankful fors" is all inclusive --
everything from Mommy & Daddy to apple juice.
10) "Family snuggles!"

We sure love this girl.

You know this is only the first of several birthday posts right?
