I am so incredibly lucky to be your Mom. There is truly nothing else in the world that has made me even a fraction as happy as having you in my life. I love every minute with you, even the tough ones, and I wouldn't trade it in for anything. I know Mother's Day is technically about me, but in all honesty...having you is celebration enough (though I may be singing a different tune in a few years so don't think you're out of the woods yet).
I did just hear from your daycare that you've taken it on yourself to start potty training on you own. You used the potty all by yourself for the first time today, not a bad present for your 2nd Mother's day :).
You radiate personality. We are constantly getting comments from strangers on how happy and adorable you are. You love life. You love your siblings. You love your family and friends. In fact, one of you new favorite sayings is..."oooooh...I love it!" . You are a great eater, though you've learned the phrase "I don't like it" from school, so every once in a while we hear a bit of that. You are extremely verbal, not so advanced on your gross motor skills. Your jumping, while adorable, does not actually see either foot leaving the ground. You are so tiny that I think that has a lot to do with it.
Here are some pictures of your latest antics. We've been out and about as usual. Denver Outlaws games, playing outside, lots of trips to Home Depot (the water heater broke), and general causing havoc with Emma, your brothers, and our neighbor Kynlee.

There have been a lot of videos lately, but here's the most recent of you cracking yourself up.
I adore you sweet girl. Thank you for making me a Mom.
