Bitty Princess Turns Two!

Bitty Princess turned TWO this month! I cannot believe that we have been blessed to care for and love such an amazing little girl. She was decked out in her Minnie Mouse party theme from her head (Minnie hair clips) to her toes (Minnie pedicure :P) We had the pleasure of combining her party with her cousin Q, who was turning 4. Farm Chick was such a gracious host and provided the perfect spot to get our party on! We ate pizza and gobbled up cookies in shapes of glass slippers and flowers. Bitty Princess has logged some serious play hours with the awesome gifts she received. We are so blessed to have family that loves our girl so much. I can't wait to see what this year holds for our big kid!

To Freeze This Moment

Just thought I'd share a sweet moment I had with my Bitty Princess.

My girl is a movin' and groovin' toddler these days; complete with the sassy 'tude and kiddish giggles. Tonight when I was rocking her before I put her in her bed, she fell asleep. To actually "rock her to sleep"just doesn't really happen anymore. I feed her, rock and hum a little, and put my tired, but still wide eyed baby in her bed. I place her head on her special pillow Grammy made her,  hand her Teddy and put her blankie over her. She looks up at me and I tell her I love her. I leave the room, listen to her babble for a couple of minutes on the monitor, and then hear nothing but her fan buzz as she drifts to sleep. So, to rock my baby to sleep tonight was truly a joy I didn't realized I missed so much until it happened. That's just one of those subtle changes I've been talking about; the changes that happen so seamlessly and quickly, you don't even realize a shift has occurred. I pray for my heart and eyes to be open and constantly cherishing moments like these.

To many more nights rocking my royalty.
