2 years & counting

I don't even know where to start

to my lucky clover,

. my favorites .

I thank the Lord every day for you and the health he has blessed you with for the past year
you are so much fun, you bring so much joy to my heart
I miss you so much when you go to bed
I wish I could hold you all day long, but you usually only let me hold you for only a couple minutes
you are so busy and adventurous, I wish I was more like that
I love how you love your daddy and get so excited when he comes home from work
and so sad when he leaves
I love when you sing and dance
I love when you get so excited when certain songs come on
I love that you have always slept a minimum of 12 hours a night!
I love your curly hair, I'm sorry that I don't know how to style it :)
I love when you obey and then say "yay clover"
I love how you recite everyone's names that you love, over and over and over and over
{you call grandpa, panka}
I love that you love to play outside and swim, but you can also sit and read or watch a movie too
I love that you love to draw and you want me to draw with you
I love/hate when you jump off the couch, you're so excited but it's terrifying for me!
I love that you make friends with everyone around you, you get that from your daddy
I love that you play the piano and drums
I love that you love your sister
I loved it when you slept talked that one time and said my name
I love that you close your eyes and pray with us
I love your eyebrows and eyes, you are so expressive, which can make people feel uncomfortable because you look at them like you don't like them
you are so fun, funny, adventurous, excited, clumsy, innocent, sweet, crazy
and I wish I was more like you!

. funny things you've said/done .

waving at daddy from window, naked and the cars behind him were laughing at you

. things I {and you} don't like .

you get car sick! all the time! and throw up! every time! yuck! exclamation!


. health update .

we saw new dr. and had an ultrasound. things look the same so we don't have to go back for another 12 months! yippee!
he also clarified that if the kidney did die, even then we wouldn't necessarily have to take it out; only if it started causing problems. so we could possibly be done with surgeries forever! praise the Lord! but we're still praying :)

I love you baby girl!
