Diana Marie is 2 Today!!!!
I can't believe it's been two years since I had my baby girl! She is the little one that changed our family from "us" as a couple to a "we" as a family! It brings tears to my eyes thinking back to that day she was born.... It was the hardest nine months for me and a very difficult pregnancy, but literally the minute she was born, I can't believe how much love filled my heart for her and how connected I felt to her, it took my breath away!
She was the best baby and amazingly independent from almost the moment she was born, she had a strong personalty from the beginning and we love our little fire cracker of toddler! We thank God for her and love her... she is a miracle!
I could go on and on with stories, but here are some words that come to mind instead:
Loving
Kind
Caring
Independent (capitol "I" :)
Strong Willed
Exuberant
Free!
Pensive
Inquisitive
Intelligent
Obsessive Compulsive
Best big sister EVER!
Helper
Initiator
And, most importantly, I already see a heart for God growing inside her. Nothing brings me more joy than to check on her at night and find she is sleeping snuggled up with her puppy and an open bible.
I love you my Didi! I don't know whether God will use your strong and independent heart to serve him oversees as a missionary, your intelligence in the work force to serve as His voice, or your kind heart to be a stay at home mommy. Maybe you will do all things! And many more.... I'm sure of it.
I pray that no matter what, you will fulfill God's calling on your heart for your life. If you seek Him, you will Find Him. Listen to the council of your parents now as a child and always talk to God. Then, one day you will find yourself all grown up and following Him. It works, trust your mamma :)
I love you my Diana, thank you for making me a mommy. We pray for you everyday and I love you bunches!
Diana is getting so old!!! I can't believe how quickly the baby years go by! Our little Didi is a toddler, with a flippen will of iron! (make that titanium) She is so, so smart, I am so proud of her. Right now she pushes the extremes on EVERYTHING though. Most everyday is a crazy challenge with her. She attempts to push Daniel's and my limits daily, it can get tiring but we are enjoying the toddler time because there is so much interaction!
Little Elsie (Ellie) is just the sweetest little button! She is so very mellow and patient! I never realized how high strung Didi was until Ellie came along. They are totally as opposite as night and day. Both Daniel and I enjoy cuddling Ellie on the bed in between us, something Diana never lets us do after she was about 6 weeks old. Ellie is our cuddle bug! We wuv her :)
