Happy 2nd Birthday Olivia!

Dear Olivia,

It is your second birthday! Boy has time flown by.  I still remember bringing you home and thinking...now what do we do with this child?? In 2 years we have done a lot!  You learned to walk and talk and your favorite CLIMB.  I was so afraid that you weren't going to talk but finally when mama came out at 14 months, so did everything else.  You went to your first Braves game and UGA spring practice game.  You are so smart.  You know your ABCs and can count to 13.  You like to "read" your books and be read to.  Even if when we read to you, it is the same books over and over, you still want us to read to you.  Your favorite books have changed over the year but some of them were Goodnight Moon, Mommy Hugs, Daddy and Me, Baby Bear, Baby Bear what do you see?, Brown bear what do you see, The Hungry Caterpillar,  Chrysanthemum, Charlie Brown Christmas, and Dogs, Dogs. You also learned how to sing and can sing songs like "Row, Row, Row your boat", "The ABC song" "Dust, Dust, Dust" and "Old MacDonald." You learned how to draw and like to use your crayons and stamps.  You like to shop! You enjoy going to Kroger, Publix, and Target! You discovered you have friends and know their names and remember them! You learned how to fish and can reel in your big catches! You took swimming lessons and swam in the pool.  You finally got your teeth in...months of teething...not so fun! You love to go to the park and play outside.  You are now even picking out your own clothes and hair bows.  You even put one shoe on correctly today and took off your jacket ALL by yourself!

We are so proud to be your parents.  Your smile and laughter is contagious.  You make us laugh so much. You bring such joy to our life.  You have filled our hearts with such unconditional love.  I can't wait to see what the next year brings.  We know that it gets even better from here. 

Olivia- we hope that you had a great birthday and we can't wait to celebrate with everyone this weekend!

Lots of love, hugs, and kisses,

Your Mommy and Daddy!
