Happy Birthday Katie Bear!

Picture at the hospital when Katelyn was born. Katelyn weighed the exact same thing as Jordan did when she was born - both weighed 8 lbs. 11.2 ounces. Even down to the ".2"! I have pictures of them both on the scales at the hospital with the weight. Sisters!

Katelyn Crystal!

Happy Birthday my sweet precious baby girl! You bring so much joy and love to our lives. You are a blessing to us and we love you so very much. You are two years old today! I went into your room this morning to tell you Happy Birthday. You were moving a little bit and I stood there and stared at you. I thought about how precious you are to me and how much I love you. You looked up and I told you Happy Birthday. You repeated it. You know about birthdays now but I don't know if you realize exactly that it yours. I then told you it was your birthday and you are two years old today. You then said "two". It was cute.

Let's see -- things about you -- you are intelligent, beautiful, very clever, mischievous, somewhat on the naughty side at times, loving, and make us laugh so many times. You are talking so much now. Last night at dinner while Jordan was saying the prayer, you suddenly chimed in and finished the prayer. You stated everyone's names at the table and said "amen". Grinny, Papa, Aunt Kara, Jordan, your Daddy and me all sat their listening. We were amazed because this was the first time you had ever done this. You have been listening!

You also cracked me up because you are so intelligent and clever. You do things once again that make us grin. The other night you were banging your hand on Jordan's video player and would not stop (told you somewhat naughty :) ). I moved the video player and put it on my nightstand so you could not touch it. I am then out in the kitchen and I see you walk out and grab your chair for your little table. I see you disappear into our bedroom. I followed you in there and you had placed the chair next to the night stand and were standing on it ready to hit the video player again! You always seem to figure out a way to do something!

I hope your day is a wonderful one and know how much I love you. Happy Birthday Katelyn Crystal!
