Vanessa's 2nd Birthday

Wow! She's actually two! Where does the time go?? I really can't believe it's already been two years since Vanessa joined our family! She is such an amazing little girl. She's extremely busy and curious, as many of you who read this blog on a regular basis now know but that's what makes her, her. She is three feet tall and 36 inches long. She is growing and developing as she is supposed to. Some of her favorite things right now are...her bottle - I think she'll be the only kid in Kindergarten with one, her brother and sister, pulling hair, biting other kids, Dixie, and torturing (I mean loving) Rocky, giving Mom and Dad kisses, puzzles, Pet Shops, coloring and reading books. She loves her mom so much she feels she has to still get up in the middle of the night to just get more time with her, some nights two, three or five times a night.

We celebrated her birthday by first going to the funeral and cemetery. We then went to lunch with Grandpa and Grandma Davis. The best part to V was of course the ice cream cone.

Doesn't that smile say it all??

We went and played at Granpa and Grandma's house for a bit and then headed home for dinner, presents,

backyard play,

and cupcakes.

We then went to our park and let the kids play for a bit before coming in to bed.

Vanessa also had to get in some 'computer time' before going to bed.

I think she had a great day! We are so grateful she is a part of our family and feel extremely blessed to get to enjoy her each and every day!
