Happy Birthday Kylie!

I can't believe my sweet baby is two!  She has been such a fun little girl.  She is growing up way too fast, but I love every new stage she goes through-even her temper tantrums.  She's so cute that it's hard to stay mad at her.  She keeps us busy and laughing these days.  She likes to tease and play with Brandt.  She's a little monkey who likes to climb and get into everything.  She's already figuring out the potty thing pretty well.  Developmentally she's ahead of the curve (at least according to her well child check earlier this week) and her height is above average as well-measuring at the 96th percentile.  She can talk up a storm and repeats whatever she hears.  She likes to sing and dance (especially to the  "Move it, Move it" song from a Dancing with the Stars episode that we have on DVR).  She knows quite a few of the primary songs-with actions- and loves to point out pictures of Jesus and President Monson.  She's an animal lover and likes to spend time outside with the cows, horses, and dogs.  Actually, she loves to be outside period, and it's quite the fight to get her to go in the house.  She loves snow and begs to have handfuls of it to eat whenever she sees it.  The poor girl has had a rough winter with a cough that never goes away, but we finally loaded her up with medications to treat asthma, and she has now been cough-free for about 4 weeks.  She's finally able to run and play and sleep through the night without coughing.  For the most part she's such a happy and active little girl and we just love the heck out of her.  She makes everyone she comes into contact with smile.  She has the best smiles, the cutest little giggles, and the prettiest brown eyes and curly hair.  I love the way she calls me "Mame or Mamie" and more recently "Jame or Jamie", the way she calls Bryce by name and calls Brandt "dude" and grandma "damma".  She is a cuddler and I love that, too.  She has cheeks that I just love to kiss and squeeze.  It's the cutest thing ever the way she does thumbs up by using her pointer finger instead of her thumb and the way she does "2" using her thumb and pointer and says 2 when asked how old she is-it looks a little like the loser sign at times lol.  I could fill an entire book with things I love about her, but what I love the most is that she's mine and she makes me so happy.  I'm so thankful that our family was blessed with such an amazing surprise.  Kylie is just one of the many evidences that my Heavenly Father loves me and knows what I need before I do.  I look forward to watching my princess continue to grow and learn-I just wish that time could slow down!  Love ya, sister!

First thing this morning telling me that she's 2.  Love the awesome bed head! :)
