Two!

Skylar is two today and pretty excited about it!

You'd be pretty excited too if your birthday festivities lasted for four straight days and you had endless packages coming to the door for you with lots of fun things like art supplies, horsey pajamas and lollipops the size of your head!

Not to mention a sweet new ride in your favorite color with a K-State wildcat on it!

You might think you were a princess if you were hand-fed cupcakes.....

And given more kisses than your little cheeks could hold.......


You would probably think you were a pretty big deal if you had all kinds of family gathered around.....


.....and they all sang the "happy" song to you while you just soaked it up.

Skylar is pretty secure in her cuteness after this weekend.

It would take a lot to convince her that she isn't the center of the universe. She's pretty confident that she is.

Soon enough she'll find out the truth...that there are lots of other people in the world just as important as her, and they aren't all going to tell her how pretty she is and want to be her friend. Hopefully she'll be grateful for her blessed little life. But for now, being two is pretty great and there isn't much to worry about.
She is one of the sweetest and most affectionate kids I've ever met. She's been giving kisses since she was 9 months old, and now she saw "Yuv you" to top it off. She's so compliant and she rarely ever gets upset and has a tantrum. If she doesn't like what you tell her, she only cries for about 10 seconds and it's over. It totally makes up for her difficult infancy.

We've been having so much fun, this past year has just flown by! I could just eat her up. All 25 pounds and 4 ounces of her.

I think we'll keep her.
