Happy 2nd Birthday Mariann!

It is hard to believe it has been 2 whole years since you were born, but a fun, blessed, fun-filled 2 years it has been.  We waited 11 years to be blessed with another baby girl, and oh the joy you have brought us.  Your 4 brothers adore you, and your older sister loves dressing you : )  Now you are a Big Sister to your very own baby doll.

Here are some stats about you currently:
-You love to sing your ABC’s, and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star(and many times the 2 are combined into 1 song)

-You love playing with your 4yo brother Daniel, and make many yummy “meals” together

-Your favorite book is “Goodnight Moon”, and Daddy reads this to you @ night while rocking you

-You went into your “Big girl” toddler bed almost 2 weeks ago, and seem to like it now.  You are even staying in your room at night : )

-No more “Paci” for over a week, and this has been challenging for you, but you are doing well.  You  barely ask for it anymore

-You love markers, and draw on yourself with them almost daily : )

-You are a wonderful big sister.  You get upset when your little sister is crying, and you love holding her hand.  It is so precious to watch you 2 girls together

Looking forward to seeing you change, learn, and grow every day….

We love you Mariann.!  Happy 2nd Birthday

Love Always,

Daddy & Mommy : )
