2 Years Ago Today

after 13 hours of labor and with Paul, my mom and Paul's mom present, I became a mother! We welcomed Brooklynn Merie Giddings into this world and our family. Our lives have never been the same and we can't imagine it any different. She is such a joy and we are so grateful she chose to be apart of our family. She has grown so much over the past two years and I just wanted to take note of a few things she does these days that just make me smile.

Phrases she says:
"I want down"... "What!?"... "Dance with me"... "Mommy's gotch you"... "Mommy Scrathed your back?"... "OK mommy...here I come"... "Where's Maylee Kate?"... "OH! So cute mommy...so cute!"... "Oh my goodness!"... "Careful Mommy...careful!"... "RELAX!"

I love the little hand that pats and rubs my back when giving her a hug.
I love the pitter patter sound of her little feet as she is running to come see me!
I love how much she loves her little sister...the kisses she offers her and the concern she has for her.
I love her smile..it will make your day and light up a room.
I love that she is a great sleeper!



Here is the story of the last two years in pictures: Some of my favorites!

They grow up so fast! Just from watching my nieces and nephew it makes me want to cherish each and every moment. Brooklynn is so darn cute!

Where do you get all of her headbands? I am on a bow/headband kick right now.
