A Huge Moment!

A glamorous moment for her 2nd year photos.

She is a keeper this one!

These sisters do everything together!

Headed to go down the slide all by herself.

While on Grace's 4year photo shoot, Jenni was copying every move!!

She has her moments.

She loves her princess nightgown, and she just makes it looks so good.


So usually, I will write about the weeks events, but in light of my huge moment that is happening tomorrow I have to talk about it today! What moment? Well, the moment that every Mommy goes through, when they know that they no longer have any more babies, when the little ones can no longer be called a baby (technically speaking of course, they will always be my babies, just ask my own mother!). Tomorrow Jennifer will be 2 years old. They were the fastest moving 2 years of my life I think! When I had Grace she was all I paid attention to, one focus, one baby to keep track of and kiss all the time. When Jenni was born, I had to magically split into two moms and give of myself to both girls. I felt like I had to give Grace extra special attention to make sure she knew she was just as important to me as Jenni was. Knowing that 1. we are not planning on anymore kids, and B. my babies are growing up is exciting, but sad. Who doesn't love the baby phase, the late night feedings are exhausting, but when that baby falls asleep on your chest, you just never want to move! The way that your giant finger fits just so perfectly into that babies whole hand and hold on so tightly. The little toes that have so many places to go on life's journey.

Not being a baby means that Jenni can do things on her own, and I am ready for it, I just didn't want it to come this fast. She is talking like its nobody's business, she LOVES food, and LOVES being outside. We get more comments on her red hair and bright blue eyes more then anything else. She is my Jelly Bean, and I love when she gives me hugs (super good BIG hugs) and kisses and says "love you!". She follows her big sister around and drives her a little crazy, but she plays alone when she has to. She calls herself a "snuggle bunny" when she is cold and wants to get a blanket to keep her warm. She has the best laugh and when she smiles sometimes her nose crinkles up a little bit. I can't wait to see what this next year will bring, because when I think about the future and how fast my girls are growing up and becoming more and more independent, I just want to cry, a good cry because I LOVE being their mother, it is the bestest ever!! :)
