Happy 2nd Birthday, Hayden!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Monkey. How did we get here already?

You started crawling at 5 months... Walking at 9... It was no surprise when you started talking early as well.  Three months ago you said, "I can't reach it. Can you get it for me, Mama?" At this point, not sure there is a word you don't know! Your understanding and knowledge of everything around you is astounding. 

You may not be the best sleeper and have quite the little temper, but your smile lights up a room. You get excited about the littlest things, whether it's a dog walking by or a stranger wearing a Minion shirt, and it's a constant reminder that we all need to appreciate the small things.  Your joy for anything Bubble Guppies is adorable, as is your belief that their books, shirts and movies are in every store/library. Your days used to be filled with tears, and now they're filled with dancing, singing, caring for your babies, wardrobe changes and following Cole around. It's wonderful watching you two together. You're the best of friends and I hope it's always this way.

Incredibly bright, funny, independent, chatty, and silly - You're amazing. I hope the next year brings you nothing but fun and happiness.

Love you baby girl,
Mama

Your Special Day:

Playground with Emerson and UTC mall for pizza/play area with Emerson and Annie.  When Daddy got home you asked to go to Chuck E Cheese (which we questioned since the ride over you said, "Chuck E Cheese gonna bite me" at least 100 times).  We topped off your day with El Indio for dinner and a little Bubble Guppies party at home.












Presents were a blur
