Olive turned 2 on Friday.  Is that hard for anyone else to believe?  We have been reminiscing all weekend.  Here she is 2 years ago today:

She looks so tiny, look at that little hand!  She's about 5 1/2 pounds in this photo.  Right now she's asleep with that same blanket (thanks Great Aunt Janet!).

Here she is a year ago:

She was just learning to walk and say a few words.

And here she is now:

Our running, dancing, chatting, laughing kid.

Our baby has turned into a kid, and she's a darn good one!  Happy Birthday, kiddo!

  1. WOW! What a contrast.

    And I'm sure your parents too, have mentioned it's just as stunning the speed at which you turn around only to discover your 'child' is in their 20's or 30's...

    Truly amazing... do your best to be fully present and enjoy the moments with that precious, beautiful one... they move so fast!

    I'm so delighted you decided to start this blog... hope to see and 'hear' the voice of all three of you... so don't hesitate to let Olive dictate a post now and then, okay? ;-)

    love,
    Mary K
