Adalyn's 2nd Birthday

     I can't believe my baby girl is already 2. When Craig and I found out we were pregnant with her, we had lots of people telling us how fast time would go and how quickly she would grow up. Despite us trying to cherish every moment with her... everyone was right. We look back at the past 2 years and on one hand it seems like she's been here forever and we can't remember what life was like without her, and on the other it seems like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital.
     One thing I can say is that the last 2 years of our life with Adalyn have been filled with nothing short of the richest blessings of our life. Her smile and sweet spirit brings us so much joy. She is quite the talker as most of you know and cracks us up with some of the stuff she comes up with. This year her 3 favorite things are Dora the Explorer, Popsicles, and her enter-rouge of stuffed animals/ items she takes to bed with her (including: paci (yes she still takes a pacifier at night:(), blankee, baby (a stuffed lamb), Bert (a stuffed dog), pooh, and her 2 latest additions Koalee and baby Koalee ( a very large and very small koala bear). She sleeps from 10-10 every night and still takes a 3 hr nap in the afternoon. A real blessing to mommy as I'm on bedrest!  
   She is very excited about the 3 babies in mommy's belly and thinks my shirt has to be up for them to hear her talking and for them to "see" her animals and books! We're so glad to get to bless Addy with siblings and just hope that although it will a huge adjustment for her, that oneday... she will thank us!
 Here are a few pics from her birthday parties at Grammy and Pawpee Jolly's, Katie and Steve's, and at Totter- Otterville.

My belly gets in the way as I lean over to cut the cake. Me at 23 weeks!
