Happy Birthday to our sweet Mabel. Today is bittersweet for me. Don't get me wrong, I love celebrating today and what it is about. After all it's the day Mabel came into this world and also the day I became a Mom. It's been 2 years since our eyes first met. 2 years feels more like 2 months. You hear it so often and everyone knows that time flies but sometimes it's just too hard to deal with that.
Last night as I thumbed through photos of the last 2 years with our girl on this planet, I was overcome with emotions. I was sad. I was happy. I was proud. I felt blessed to call her ours. She is so much more than I ever imagined she would be and I can't imagine my life without her. She has grown into a beautiful, smart, quirky, lovely little girl who captivates those around her and never ceases to amaze me. You can't help but smile when sister is near.
This morning Sam and I woke up and put all of our emotions to bed except
for happy, proud, and excited because it was time to celebrate our
girl. We had a special pancake breakfast with lots of balloons and
Justin Bieber. We spent the morning at the library with friends where Mabel proudly announced to everyone "It's my Birthday" and "I am 2!" We stopped to take some pictures, it's getting harder and harder to capture this girl on the go.
We had a special picnic lunch in the living room while watching Elmo and
then went down for a nap after reading 2 extra stories rather than our
usual 2. Tonight she has requested to eat dinner at Daddy's work so that's what we'll do because it's her day.
This girl is special. We love her and couldn't be more proud. We can't wait to see her grow even though it will be tough on this Mama.
Happy Day, Happy Year, Happy Always and Ever!
