today is sweet sophia's second birthday. the house has been counting down the days. cards have been made, presents wrapped and days planned. as she was the last to wake up this morning, she had a room full of smiling faces greeting her into the day. it took all of 20 seconds before she had her first 'happy birthday' sung to her. by 8:30 she was asking papa and gg to sing it a third time. she has been reveling in the attention.
at dinner tonight we went around the table and told soph what it was we loved about her. her cuteness, her love for books and her ability to wrestle. another in our family said she liked her toes and fingers....
there is so much to love about sophia - beside the fact that she is so cute sometimes you feel like you're going to explode because you can't take it in.... 
her infectious joy. she thinks just about anything is hilarious and will shrug her shoulders, scrunch her nose and shake in laughter. when she wakes up we fight over who will go get her as you know you will be greeted with the biggest, sweetest smile. 
her adventurous spirit. she is unafraid to try new things. whether it's trying to balance on a soccer ball like brother, jumping off a couch into daddy's arms or trying new sauces at chik-fil-a.
her love for her family. she wants to be just like her big sister. she wants to be included in everything her brother does. she gives to them, shares with them and wants to please them. she loves her daddy and calls for him when he leaves and when he arrives. and, well, she is MY girl.
tonight isaiah's prayer at dinner thanked God for allowing sophia to be a part of our family. and i know it's truly how we all feel. thankful for this little girl who brings so much to all of our lives.
happy birthday sophia. you could not possibly be loved any more than you already are.
