Quinn, your big bright eyes melt me. When you woke up in the morning, we gave you a stuffed Elmo and some Cookie Monster books. You love these characters, even though you have never watched television. You had an Elmo toothbrush, fell in love with his face and love reading his books. So we had to get you an Elmo to snuggle. You adore him!
Look how grown up and beautiful you are.
Your sweet smiles melt me. Here you are with your elephant lovey, who is still your #1, along with blankie.
Maybe you are pondering being two...
Grandpa came to visit and brought you a gourmet cheesecake for your birthday. You don't like sweets...your favorite foods are lentil soup, blueberries, grape tomatoes, and macaroni. We will eat birthday cupcakes on Saturday to celebrate as well...maybe we will have better luck with that! I am glad that you are a healthy eater, though.
You took it very seriously when we sang Happy Birthday.
You loved celebrating, though.
When we tried to put a piece of cake on your Elmo plate, you cried. You didn't want the plate or napkin to be used. You decided to push them around in your new doll stroller instead. Priceless!
You were a blur as you pushed your new BOB-like doll stroller around.
You also loved your new doll cradle. Here you are tucking in some dolls and toys. You told them, "You are tucked in. You are cozy, safe and warm." It melted Daddy's and my hearts to hear this, since we tuck you in with these reassuring words each night.
This gift was so fun for me as a mom! I got to relive my childhood a bit. It brought memories back of playing with dolls. How fun it is to watch you enjoy what I did as a little girl. I love you, Quinn!
