two.

two is such a big number for this little girl.

i can't believe two years have already passed by.

she started out on the wrong foot-

cried for six months straight.

maybe more.

and she has spent the past 18 months

making it up to us.

my hannie,

she is the silliest, most charismatic member of our family.

she is so loved.

she is an amazing

climber,

laugher, 

jumper,

hugger,

sister,

daughter,

and 

momma to all of her naked babies thrown around her bedroom.

she is mischievous

and tough.

she is more tomboy than girlie girl.

she dresses herself,

puts her own shoes on the wrong feet every time

and will never change them.

because she is also stubborn.

she has a crazy mop of hair that has suddenly appeared on her head

and cannot be tamed- much like herself.

she is a charmer.

and a social butterfly.

and she has stolen all of our hearts.

she asks to "tiss" everyone before she goes to sleep at night

and asks where everyone is as soon as she wakes up.

she has so much love to share,

she does not hide it.

she is pure joy (when she isn't secretly pooping in a closet or destroying some part of the house).

my hanna,

i love you more that you will ever know.

happy second birthday,

love,

mommy
