My Angel Girl

BRIGHTLIE
2 yrs. old - 33lbs. - 36in. - 97th (%) percentile, 3T clothes, size 7.5 shoe 


How is it possible that one little girl has stolen my heart so completely?  It seems like just yesterday i was sitting in the hospital, happily holding my new baby girl, after 9 months and an extra week of waiting in anticipation.  She was perfect- everything a parent could hope for- everything my heart desired.  She had daddy wrapped around her finger instantly, as well. He loves his little Princess.  Today, 2 yrs. later, she is still just as wonderful!  
I love everything about her, my fun-loving toddler! 
- her hazel eyes & curly hair
- the way she says "hi momma, hi daddy!" with great enthusiasm
 - her cheesy smile (and her dramatically pouty scowl)
- how she waves to everyone, and how strangers smile and way back at her like she just made their day
- how she is the cutest, most spastic dancer ever!  She loves to move, jump and dance around!
 - the way she loves music... at home, in the car, where ever 
  - her energy for life & her curiosity for everything around her
- her sweet/tender Spirit... a love of Nursery & Jesus (she points Him out in pictures), and strong concern for others, including saying "sorry" and asking if you are okay or if you have an owie.
- her LOVE of animals, especially 'doggies'
- her intelligence and ability to notice details (a little OCD about arranging her stuffed animals)
- the way she gives us hugs and kisses (as well as family, friends, our dogs, and other children her age)
- how she ADORES books and bed time stories with Daddy

Yes, the list could easily continue... but to sum it all up B is everything we could ever want in a child.  Her bright personality shines each day and I know that her name truly was inspired.  It breaks my heart to think of how fast time flies... how big she is getting... yet, i LOVE LOVE LOVE watching her grow, learn, explore, and thrive!  She is our special blessing and we are so grateful each day that she is ours for now and eternity!  We love you Brightlie!!!!
Happy 2nd Birthday!

  1. Happy late birthday to Brightlie! The last time I saw her she was only a few months old. Time certainly flies - I can't believe I have a 3 year old and a 9 month old! By the way, she's just an inch shorter than Breena at 3 years. Big girl!
