Happy (Belated) 2nd Birthday Alexandria!

Since the internet on our computer was down for two weeks, I missed blogging Alex's Happy Birthday. I have been trying to catch up now and it has been a lot of work, but finally, I have gotten to it!

My baby turned the big 2 on January 10!

We LOVE our precious Alexandria and are so grateful and blessed to have her as part of our family. It is hard to believe that two years have already come and gone! So bittersweet! She has brought such joy into our lives and we just don't know what we would do without her!
It is so fun to have watched her personality blossom in the last two years and to see the little character she has turned out to be. She is so funny and makes me laugh every day. I am so grateful for these moments when times are stressful! Alex is so loving and nurturing. She doesn't like to see others upset and will try and find ways to soothe them. She loves babies! She enjoys taking care of them, trying to feed them, and giving them plenty of toys to play with! We know she is going to be an awesome big sister to her little brother!
Alexandria LOVES her big sister Lily. Even when Lilyana is being mean to her, Alexandria is still always trying to please and willing to share her things. She is always ready with a BIG hug for whoever walks in the door, especially her daddy! She melts my heart when she tells me, "I need hug!" Ooooh I LOVE that! She has also grown to be sooo independent! She likes to do everything herself and she is always trying to keep up with her big sister and, my, has her vocabulary grown! I am sure a lot of the things she says, such as, "Let go me!" "Stop it, daddy (or whoever)!" and "No way!" she gets from her sister. The sentences that come out of her mouth never seize to amaze me! My favorite sayings are "I need hug" and " I lul you!" and "Oh, Maaaan!" She is just so stinkin' CUTE!
