Happy 2nd B-day to our Princess

 

Dear Kayla,

How can it be that our, sweet, beautiful little girl is two years old already?!  You are such a sweet, nurturing, sensitive girl. 

Right now you are really into pretend cooking.  You also love to help me cook in the kitchen and by cook I mean taste everything.  You love purses and will turn anything with a strap into a purse (baskets, buckets, bags).  You enjoy playing outside and in the basement (bay-ment). 

You stay very busy tending to all your babies all day long.  You push them around in the stroller, carry them in the baby carrier (sometimes with a blanket over it like we do for Levi,) you put them night-night, they spend time in Levi's jumperoo, and you feed them.  I love watching you play house with your babies.  You are such a little mama at heart.  Whenever we tell you we are going to church you always respond with "babies."  That is because you love playing with babies in the nursery.  When I drop you off your teacher always asks, "Do you want to get a baby Kayla?"  And it doesn't matter which teacher it is, because they all know you love your babies.  One day when I picked you up from the nursery the teacher commented on your amazing ability to care for babies. 

You are such a kind sister.  You are always looking out for Joshua (Josh-Josh) making sure he gets what he needs, taking his snacks to him before you eat yours, bringing him his water bottle when you find it on the floor.  You also love to talk to Levi and you get such a kick out of it when he coos back to you.  When he spits up you say, "Uh-oh" and then go get me a burp rag. You like to give Levi loves and share toys with him.  Your heart is so big.

We are working on learning colors right now,  Most things are white (ite) to you.  You also love the number 2. 

You are bold, brave and outgoing.  You say hi to everyone who walks by and you definitely do not shy away from playing with the big kids.

You are the perfect mix of sugar and spice and we love you to pieces!!!

I pray that you would walk close to God all the days of your life and trust in Him always. 

All my Love,

Mommy

Waiting for her shot.  She was saying, "No shot.  No thank you."  Amazingly neither her or Levi cried  one bit when they go their shots.  The nurse said I have brave kids.

 

You love stiring...

 

...and pouring.

She would rather wear her craft/activity.

She also likes trains.
