Today is our beautiful little girl's 2nd birthday! Amaya Soleil entered this world very quickly after only 3.5 hours of labor at 9:48 PM on a Saturday night. She was 3 weeks early, and a petitie 5lbs. 3 oz., but what she lacks in size, she definitely makes up for in personality. She has become so very independant without losing her sweetness. She knows what she wants, and will go after it when she wants to. She is pretty fearless, pretty outgoing, and of course very bright. She loves to sit patiently and build a tower out of blocks, but at the same time knows a thing or two about climbing, running, and dancing around the house. She is just so tiny, and it adds to her charm. Tiny or not--the girl knows how to work a room already, so lord help us when she grows up! I can't believe our little girl is 2 already, but I am so excited to watch her grow up and only want her to find happiness in whatever she chooses to do. To celebrate 2 years of her being a part of our family, we had cupcakes and sang to her after dinner, and let her open her gifts from Mommy, Daddy,and Alex after a much needed bath (The cupcakes weren't the cleanest treat!). She got lots of princess supplies of course since that is her whole world right now. She got a soft, plush Rapunzel doll, a Cinderella castle with a mini-Cinderella figurine, a Princess Encyclopedia, and a Mulan baby doll from Mommy and Daddy. And from Alex, she got a Rapunzel barbie with changable hair color. Of course, she seemed to like Alex's present the best,though she is cuddled up with her soft Rapunzel as we speak. All in all, today was not the best day at work, a stressful and busy Monday, but coming home and watching Amaya delight in her presents, be so excited over her cupcake and glow as we sang to her at our kitchen table turned the day around completely and coming home to our wonderful children always remind us of the important things in life. We are just so blessed and happy to have Amaya in our lives, and we know every year on her birthday, we celebrate a miracle--her being our healthy, happy and beautiful daughter. Happy Birthday sweet little Amaya!

The best big brother in the world playing Princess with his sister--he was a superstar today. We didn;t hear one complaint about not having the attention on him and him not getting presents. He was justa helpful big brother from start to finish and so sweet to his baby sister singing to her and giving her hugs and kisses.
