Halen, on Monday, May 23rd your baby sister was born! We spent the day together, we walked around the hospital in Castle Rock and had a yummy lunch together and you fell asleep on daddy's lap. Around 2 p.m. Aunt Sharon came to pick you up, you spent a few days with Jack, Kenzie and Uncle Kurt.
The morning of Tuesday, May 24th you entered the hospital room and met your baby sister for the very first time! At first you just saw me, and ran up to my hospital bed and we hugged and kissed. Then you saw that daddy was holding a baby and you squealed with delight. You were so excited, "Baby!" you'd say. And, "hold it." You just wanted to claim Henley and hold her all day. We all gathered on my hospital bed where you held Henley for the first time. You were decked in your bright pink Big Sister scrubs and pig tails. You loved looking at baby Henley. Then you held her again on the couch and you wanted to see her, "toesies" and when Henley started to cry you'd say, "Baby what happened?" You were so concerned about her, it was the sweetest thing. And you got mad at mommy when I needed to nurse Henley, you'd lift up your shirt and say, "My milk." You were just so attentive and sweet.
We brought Henley home on the evening of Wednesday, May 25th, finally our family of four altogether.
You two girls are daddy and my whole world. We are so excited to start this new journey...the four of us.
Love you baby girl.
Love,
Mommy

Hand Foot Mouth
Oh Halen. On Saturday, May 14th you started running a really high fever. It was very unusual for you because you're never sick. We thought it was a reaction to your Chicken Pox vaccine the Tuesday before. But by Monday I was informed that Hand, Foot & Mouth disease was going around and Ben had a confirmed case. So I took you into the pediatrician and sure enough you had HFM. Then we found out Ainsley had it too. So mommy decided to take some time with just you and no other kiddos. On Monday is when the sores got worse, you woke up that night at 12:30 a.m. screaming in pain. It made mommy so sad. We were up for four hours until you finally fell back asleep. This virus is no fun, and I'm so bummed you got it. You've been so healthy this year compared to last year with all your ear infections. And mommy is 38 weeks pregnant, which makes this even more interesting. Your sister could come at any time.
I am writing this blog as you slumber away next to me. I love you darling girl, and I hope this moves through your system quickly.
Love,
Your Mommy

"Let's Go Fly a Kite, Up to the Highest Height" 2nd Birthday Party
Your 2nd birthday party was a huge success! Unfortunately weather disnt cooperate, so we were unable to have your party outside at the park, but we made do inside at our house. And it was awesome!! Because your theme was all about kites, I made a banner out of homemade felt kites that said, "Happy 2nd Birthday Halen!" and it was all very colorful. Our menu was: Chicago Style Hotdogs, potato salad, BLT pasta salad, watermelon-berry fruit salad, Neicey's Famous Tortilla Roll Ups, Blueberry Pineapple Salsa, Lavender Lemonade, a cooler of beer and a Lemon-Blueberry Cake for your birthday cake. It was all delicious!
You wore an adorable nautical style dress with a bright pink tutu. I was able to glue a 2 on your shoulder strap. You had so much fun playing with all your buddies! Everyone who came: your cousins Jack & Kenzie, Joshie & Charlie, Daycare buddies: Ainsley & Ben, your playground buddy Kinsley, Aunt Marilyn, Bebe & Mark, your good friend Owen Besson, and Aunt Sharon.
You played with all the pink balloons, ran around the house, and did lots of giggling. You knew exactly what to do when we all sang you happy birthday, you blew out your candles perfectly...except mommy accidentally used trick candles, so they lit back up as soon as you blew them out. You had the cutest, most confused look on your face. But finally they went out! For presents you received: 3 soccer balls (!!!) we're so exited to introduce you to sports, some soccer cones, shinguards, soccer hair bows, bubbles, a giant beach ball sprinkler, an art set with a princess coloring book, a cute dress, your first package of girlie undies, more bubbles, a lifevest from mom and dad, pool toys from mom and dad, a Big Sister scrub set to wear to the hospital to meet your baby sister, a personalized library book bag, and a sweet teddy bear.
We ended the night by playing more with Jack, Kenzie and Owen. You had a great time. We love celebrating you our darling two year old!
And then a few days later we went to your two year well check...you did fantastic! You were so well behaved! Everything sounded great and we found out you were 36 inches tall in he 91st percentile, 28 lbs in the 69th percentile, and your lil noggin is in the 35th percentile (like mommy's 😊). And you are ahead developmentally by 7 months! Not that daddy and I are surprised, but we are so proud of how healthy, smart & active you are. Then you received your chicken pox vaccine, and you were so brave. We went to get frozen yogurt afterwards to reward you for being so good!
It was a great week celebrating you muffin!! The next milestone is you becoming a big sister, in a matter of weeks.💗
We love you so!!!!
Love,
Mommy

Conversations with our 2 year old
Your daddy and I decided to keep a running log of the sweet, hilarious, inquisitive, remarkable, silly things you say as you're two and learning about the world and how to have conversations.
May 3, 2016 On your 2nd birthday, "Happy burtday to you, hap burtday to youuuuuuu!" You wanted us to sing to you over and over and over again. When I accidentally gave you trick candles at your birthday party, you were quite distraught as you worked so hard to blow them out. 😊
May 5, 2016- "No Halen I do not need you to eat my boogers," said daddy.
May 23, 2016- When meeting your baby sister for the first time: "I hold it!" "Baby!" "Mine." "Toesies!" When Henley started to cry: "Baby what happened?" When mommy started nursing Henley, Halen lifted her shirt and said, "My milk."
May 27, 2016 At bedtime you kicked daddy out of your room, "Out!" And pointed toward the door.
May 27, 2016: When hanging out in the living room you said, "Jack and Kenzie, play."
When saying prayers I asked you if we should add anyone else, "Jack and Kenzie."
May 29, 2016: You got your first hair trim by YaYa and when the hair fell on the table she said, "My hair! My hair!" But you did very good, you were calm and still.
June 4, 2016: You ran into the living room grabbed the Boppy, sat on the stairs with it on her lap and said, "Hold it." (About holding her sister.) Then once I places Henley on the Boppy, if Henley fussed Halen would say, "It's ooook baby, it's oooook." And rub Henley's chest. (Just so sweet!)
June 16, 2016: When Henley would cry, I would ask Halen what Henley needed and Halen would say, "Milk." 😊
June 20, 2016: You got a bloody nose and said, "My nose, nose!"
June 26, 2016: You were bit by mosquitoes and said, "No no buzzy!" She did not like being bit by a bug.
July 2, 2016: You're putting on your swim suit and while naked you wiggle your bum bum and say, "I naked naked, I naked naked."
July 5, 2016: You say things backwards or just the back half of a phrase, for example, I'll say, "I love you Halen." And you respond with, "Too!"
August 9, 2016: You were upset by something and said, "I want my Kenzie." So so so sweet.
August 10, 2016: You wanted to hold Henley on the couch, I put her in your lap and you said, "Mommy, I lub her I lub her I lub her." My heart about melted.
August 10, 2016- When we do something you ask you've started saying, "Thank you so much!" It's quite cute.
August 13, 2016- You were hugging me and said, "Mommy you're my best friend me." My heart just swelled. I love being your best friend baby girl.
August 14, 2016- Lately you have been saying, "Mommy I neeeeeeed you!" Or "Daddy, I need you!" It's so sweet.
August 17, 2016: We're watching the Rio Olympics gymnastics floor routine and you were watching and Aly Raismann finished and you clap your hands and say, "Great Job, great job!" 😊 It was hilarious & so sweet.
September 1, 2016: We were discussing snack options, and I said, "Halen how about some cheese?" You responded with, "Okay I'll have some cheese." Then you paused for. moment and said, "Actually I want some raisins." I was shocked by your vocabulary! And
you used the word correctly! You're growing up so much!
September 14, 2016: We were getting ready for a bath and you found daddy's goggles and you called them, "Haggles." ☺️ Makes me think of Harry Potter.
September 16, 2016: We were getting you ready for pre-school and we put on your new Nike shoes and you said, "They have a swoosh!"
September 20, 2016: We were getting ready for bed and you started to sing, "I love my mommy, I love my daddy, I love my sister, I love my family!" You sang this over and over and over. So sweet and we love it!

It was pretty adorable.
October 4, 2016: You learned a scripture at church with the sign language to go with it. You love saying it and doing the hand motions, "God (point overhead) made (pound your fists on top of each other) the world (make a big cure with your arms) and everything in it (reach send out wide)!" You're so proud when you say it! So so sweet!
October 28, 2016: You like to be carried lately and you'll say, "Daddy I want up here." So cute.
Thanksgiving day 2016: You and daddy were about to go outside and daddy had on his flip flops so you said, "Daddy I want to be like you and wear flop flops." It was so sweet!
November 25, 2016: Daddy gave you a mini pecan pie to eat and you didn't want it, you told daddy to eat it and when daddy did you said, "Daddy I smell your breath." You stuck your nose in daddy's mouth and then said, "Your pie in there." It was pretty funny.
December 11, 2016: We went to Great Wolf Lodge as a start to a new family winter tradition. And in the middle of the night you lost your num num and whispered to daddy, "Daddy, I don't know where is my num num is?" So sweet that you would whisper. 😍
December 16, 2016: Daddy didn't feel good and you said, "Daddy, want me to blow on your tummy?" Then you blew on daddy's tummy and asked, "Better?"'

January 12, 2017: We were outside that morning and we could hear Cedar Park High School practicing and you said, "I hear daddy!" You associate whistles with daddy and his football.
January 17, 2017: We were getting ready for bed, you were cuddled with daddy and I said, "Daddy is my favorite." And you quickly added, "Daddy is my favorite too." And you snuggled closer. ❤️ Right after that daddy suggested you go peepee on the potty and watch, you said, "That sounds fine!" It was pretty funny. You sounded so grown up.
January 23, 2017: You looked straight at daddy and said, "Daddy, that's diculous!" I think you'd heard mommy say ridiculous before... Haha. Then a few minutes later you said, "Daddy, that's funky." Haha! Mommy has to be careful what she says.
January 30, 2017: We want to the park after church and you were on the swing. You are learning to propel yourself and you'd say, "Back and foreth, back and foreth." Moving your legs to help push yourself on the swing. Just so cute.
February 13, 2017: We were up super early because you had a slight fever and I suggested we close our eyes, you said, "We just need to watch for a little bit while." So cute. So we snuggled and watched Goldie & Bear. ❤️
February 18, 2017: I was tucking you into bed and you wouldn't let me kiss you and I said, "Halen I made you, I made this bum bum and this tummy."

February 24, 2017: Daddy was making breakfast and you said, "Daddy, I want to be a daddy like you." So so sweet.

A song from Tangled came on, daddy said, "Halen one day we are going to dance to this song on your wedding day when you get married to your prince."

March 22, 2017: We were driving home from swim class and you said, "Jesus was talking to us." And daddy and I asked you to tell us more. You said, "Jesus had all the bread and all the fishes and he shared with all the people." Daddy and I stared at each other and were almost brought to tears by how profound what you said was. 😍
March 28, 2017: Your prayer tonight- "Thank you for Claire. Thank you for Uncle Matt. Thank you for Piper. Thank you for birthday cake. Thank you for Doc McStuffins. Thank you for mommy. Thank you for my daddy. Thank you for sister. Amen." I love hearing your little prayers. <3

April 20, 2017: You have really loved your babies lately and you give th all sorts of fun names like, "Luce, and "Jensa" it's so sweet. To seeing you use your imagination, creativity and pretending.

You're TWO!
My darling Halen! Today you turned TWO. So hard for daddy and I to comprehend. Just yesterday, I delivered you at Downtown Seton hospital and held you for the first time. It's been an amazing two years watching you truly become your own person. What a difference a year has made. You are so strong, fiercely independent, determined, so kind, nurturing, smart and active. You keep daddy & I on our toes! You seem to understand so much now, we love our little conversations with you everyday.
You love your big girl bed, you still love your milk in a bottle and your treasured wubbanub (num num). You want to do everything yourself including put in your clothes, socks, and shoes. We love your words like "homin" for coming? And "I do it", "I luh yoo!" You love cuddling with us, which we cherish. We read books all the time and you've become great at brushing your teeth. You really love your friend Rachel Edson from daycare, you play with her all day everyday. You've gone potty on the potty a few times, but you're not quite ready to commit to being potty trained.
Today you woke up to pink balloons everywhere and streamers hanging from your bedroom door! You played with mommy and daddy. Then you had sprinkle pancakes for breakfast. You opened DiDi & T's birthday gift of a handmade mermaid blanket and a book about a rainbow fish! You also opened YaYa's birthday present, she got you a matching bitterly lunchbox (to go with the backpack she got you last year), pink glittery jelly sandals, some bows, and a 2 year old figurine (that mommy had when she was little), YaYa also contributed to your college fund! For snack you had apple slices with peanut butter and chocolate trail mix. Then we painted turquoise nails in the backyard with Rachel, you and Ainsley. For lunch you had some fun cut outs of an H, a tulip and a heart with bread, cheese and yogurt. For snack you had blueberry trail mix cookies with your daycare friends. When daddy came home he brought your some gorgeous tulips! We played in the backyard with bubbles and mommy made homemade Mac n cheese for dinner. We opened presents too! You got a doctor kit, a play picnic basket, a new cup with a straw, some strawberry chapstick, giant chalk, dinosaur chopsticks, an ABC/shapes puzzle, and a butterfly kite. We then sang happy birthday to you and you instantly knew to blow out your candle! We ate yummy banana ice cream cake. Then snuggled with mommy and daddy before bed. I read you your personalized books from when you were born til now.
I hope you had a wonderful day tootie. We love you so much.
Love,
Mommy

You opened DiDi & T's birthday gift of a handmade mermaid blanket and a book about a rainbow fish! You also opened YaYa's birthday present, she got you a matching bitterly lunchbox (to go with the backpack she got you last year), pink glittery jelly sandals, some bows, and a 2 year old figurine (that mommy had when she was little), YaYa also contributed to your college fund! For snack you had apple slices with peanut butter and chocolate trail mix. Then we painted turquoise nails in the backyard with Rachel, you and Ainsley. For lunch you had some fun cut outs of an H, a tulip and a heart with bread, cheese and yogurt. For snack you had blueberry trail mix cookies with your daycare friends. When daddy came home he brought your some gorgeous tulips! We played in the backyard with bubbles and mommy made homemade Mac n cheese for dinner. We opened presents too! You got a doctor kit, a play picnic basket, a new cup with a straw, some strawberry chapstick, giant chalk, dinosaur chopsticks, an ABC/shapes puzzle, and a butterfly kite. We then sang happy birthday to you and you instantly knew to blow out your candle! We ate yummy banana ice cream cake. Then snuggled with mommy and daddy before bed. I read you your personalized books from when you were born til now.
I hope you had a wonderful day tootie. We love you so much.
Love,
Mommy
