Happy 2nd Birthday, Adeline!

Where has the time gone?! I can't believe our baby girl is two! When asked how old she is, she'll tell you "two yeaws owd!" while holding up a different number of fingers every time! Her birthday started with her coming into our room at 6:02am to wake us out of our sleep. She has gotten up between 7:00 and 8:00 since she was born, up until the morning of her second birthday! After a little while, I walked her through the living room over to her bathroom to go potty. The night before I had left her wrapped gifts in the middle of the living room floor so when she saw them she got VERY excited. A minute later Jared and I were in our bathroom brushing our teeth when we heard the ripping sound of her opening her first present. Needless to say, we came straight out, and all her gifts were opened before we even had breakfast! She got her first purse, a ring toss, a bowling set, the Memory card game, and a water sprinkler. She had so much fun playing with her new toys all morning! She also got a surprise visit and some Little People toys from Aunt Valori, Natalie and Emma as they were headed out to visit Todd in Florida!








After lunch, we suited Adeline up and went out to play in the sprinkler! It took a few minutes for her to warm up to the idea, but she had a blast or as she says, "fun in water!" Grandmama (Ma) was coming to stay with her while Jared and I went to my doctor's appointment that afternoon, so she arrived early to see Adeline enjoying her sprinkler and get some play-time in before Adeline went down for a nap. Her visit from "Ma" was another exciting event in her day!








Unfortunately, that evening was not nearly as exciting for Adeline or us! I think the combination of waking up early and burning so much energy before her nap had her completely worn out! Nothing made her happy to say the least. We gave her a bath at 6:30 and had her in bed by 7:30. While we hated that her special day ended that way, we had so much fun earlier in the day and knew an early bedtime was best for her (and at that point, it was best for us too)! We love her more than words can say and are so thankful the Lord blessed us with such a precious gift!
