Baby Graham: Two Years Fabulous

Well it happened.

I was really trying to keep it from coming so quickly. We're loving this journey so much it's hard to let each precious moment slip away, but then we're gifted with another moment and we just keep slipping forward...and incredibly, it gets better and better.

Evelyn is now Two Years Old. And of course, her adventures are only gettin' started. She can reach things now, climb things, move things around in order to reach even further and higher. The same playground now holds new thrills as she can move more confidently and tackle more challenging obstacles. And she's not afraid to elbow past the rotten boy that won't get off the climbing platform.

Goofing around with her brothers, who can't resist her charms
even when the requirement is to wear stickers on their forehead.

She's a true adventurer. I can see that clearly. She gets a bit gnarly after a day at home. Needs to get out and explore a new place, even if it's just a trip to the grocery, but ideally it's a chance to touch things, see new faces, climb and run, some fresh air. Not a home body. No way.

Her birthday celebration was perfect. Good food, great friends, and a homemade pumpkin cake that launched the Happy Birthday song. Evelyn was lit up from the inside with the sudden realization that everyone was singing for her. Tag fell in love with her all over again when he saw the way her eyes sparkled - he said he could see magic in her eyes. I just cry when I think back on it. It really was magical. I'm so grateful for the friends we have. They indulged us by attending a 2-year-old birthday party but you would never know it - they were nothing but sweet and loving and it just meant everything to us and also to Evelyn.
