already, Kate-Kate?! I wasn't sure it was possible, but this year was
even better than last! Sure, we had a couple more trips to the ER (and a
minor surgery on your cute little finger) and you've kept us on our
toes as you have begun testing your boundaries, but we've all got each
other pretty well figured out now and your dad and I didn't have to do as much
guessing this year.
Almost
every day we marvel at how much bigger you have gotten. She looks
taller. Look at how big she is. I can't believe she can do that. Those
are the things Daddy and I say -- over and over again. The only hint of
baby left is your slightly protruding belly. You are brave and
strong-willed. You love baby dolls; carrying them, feeding them and
changing their diapers. You have a massive sweet tooth (peanut
m&m's and doughnuts, please). You get frustrated when things don't
come easily to you. You wake up every morning earlier than we are ready
to get out of bed. You are quick to smile, but it takes something
seriously funny to hear your infectious giggle. Your dad gets the best
belly laughs when you are rough-housing. Your favorite place is still
our house, preferably with your mom right next to you. You don't have a
poker face. You adore Nette. Rah rah, brownie and blankie are your
holy trinity. You have the best curls. Not much makes you happier than
a park or swimming. You have strong opinions about the shoes and
clothes you wear. We love hearing your ideas and thoughts as you talk
more and more.
Simply
put, Kate, you are our favorite person to be with. We love you more
than you can imagine and couldn't be more proud of you.
Happy 2nd birthday, Sweetie Peetie!
