• It's BIRTHDAY Week!

  Tomorrow is Itty's second birthday.  Can you believe it?  My itty bitty baby girl is going to be TWO years old.  She's so not a baby anymore... she's SUCH a big girl.  I thought I'd be sad about that, but to be honest, each day is more fun that the previous.  I know, I'm corny and mushy and glorify motherhood... but quite honestly I can't help it when I have a perfect child   So, I declare this post an ode to my Itty.

  
  

  So, last night we were playing in the living room... Husband and I were on the floor laying down and Itty was using us as her jungle gym (she's quite the little acrobat).  She stands up next to Husband, and puts her foot on his belly and go's *tickle tickle tickle* then body slams him.  It was awesome!  I laughed so hard I nearly puked.  Anyway, Husband turns to her and says, "Hey!  What about Mama?"  My daughter, the genius, looks at Husband and very matter of factly says to him, "No tickle Mama.  Be gentle.  Baby's in belly."

  
  

  As much as I cannot stand the Wiggles, Itty LOVES them.  It's one of the few programs we let her watch on TV.  The only reason we let her watch it... she's not sitting on her bum staring at the stupid boob tube the whole time.  No, my baby can dance.  We have to clear out the entire living room of all her toys before it comes on, so she can bounce around the room and do the little dances.  It's most fun when it's a song she knows the actual dance to.  It's hilarious to watch her.

  
  

  She's strong enough to spin herself on the sit-n-spin we got her for Christmas last year.  She knows exactly where the switch is to turn the music on too... I'm not kidding, I think this thing is playing the theme from TigerHeli.

  
  

  Have I mentioned how girly-girl she is?  I mean, yeah, she loves to play with her trucks and matchbox cars, but when it comes down to it... my Itty Bitty loves to be done up.  She loves to get new shoes, to have her finger/toenails polished, her hair done up, and wearing skirts/dresses - especially if any of the aforementioned items are pink.  One of her birthday presents for birthday week was getting her ears pierced.  She loves it because her ears sparkle (that's my girl! )

  
  

  I think my favorite thing, as of late, is when she sings with me.  She's long since been too big for us to rock her at night, so instead, she lays on my shoulder and we sing songs.  Her favorite is the Itty Bitty Spider (in our house, it's Itty Bitty, not itsy bitsy).  She'll also sing Jesus Loves Me, the ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Rise & Shine... though our special song that we sing RIGHT before getting into bed is You Are My Sunshine.  When she's ready to sleep she asks that we sing that one... then she asks to go lay on her big girl pillow.

  
  

  We're leaving for Kentucky here in a couple of hours.  My brother-in-law is getting married and Itty will be the flower girl.  I'll try to post some pictures of her when we return.  It's been a while since I've done that.

  
  

  Hopefully, all of you out there that want kiddo's of your own will be blessed with one as amazing as mine some day
