Day 172

Dearest Grace,

Today you turn 2 years old and I couldn't be happier. When I think of you, the first thing that comes to mind is your smile. It's huge! It's been that way since you were born. I remember saying many times that your "smile is like half of your face!" Hence, the nickname "Grace Face" was born ;) We've been calling you that since you were only a few weeks old and for a long time your big sister thought that was actually your name!

I love to watch you play and think. You love to discover how things work; which means you are into everything. I am always busy when it comes to you! You also talk all the time. You always have something to say, and most times you repeat yourself over and over and over until someone responds.

You love your big sister Maddie and at night when you are both in bed, Daddy and I sometimes listen to you guys talk. Often, you are talking and Maddie is telling you to "go to sleep Grace." It's one of my favorite things.

You should know that you are such a blessing to me. I always knew that I wanted daughters and God couldn't have created a more perfect "baby" for our family. You have added a light to our world's that we didn't even know we needed, but now know that we couldn't live without it.
Happy 2nd Birthday Gracie Girl.

Love always,
Mommy

Day 165

Maddie woke up and started her day by reading a piece of mail she had received. There is nothing more precious that how excited she was by this card. It was from her Nonnie and all of her reactions in these pic's are her own. I told her that since the card was so important to her, she should put it in a safe place(ie: out of little sister's reach). She chose to keep it in her favorite place of all...her bed :) Thanks for writing her back Mom!!!
