My little girl is growing up.

Today my little girl turns two years old, wow how the time flies. I can not imagine my life without her in it she brings me such joy and causes me to smile every day, she also causes me to pull out my hair and pound my head against the wall but this is all part of the course of raising an already stubborn and opionated little girl. At two she has already carved out her own little spot in the hearts of everyone that she has met and has formed such a unique personality. She is starting to become a little girl now and is very quickly losing that baby image; this brings me so much heart ache to know that she is growing up but also brings me a sense of wonderment for what the future holds. While I was pregnant with Gracie we had a complication and almost lost her thankfully she made it into this world safely and when she finally decided to make her arrival just over four weeks early she came into this world with attitude my labor and delivery were fast, fast, fast and she came out raring to go she lifted her head to look over at me when the nurse was trying to weigh her and clean her up and at that moment we knew this was no wilting flower but a little girl made of fire. She will go places and overcome anything that may get into her way because she has the attitude and the strength to do so. She will undoubtedly cause my heart to leap out of my chest along the way and she will probably be the source of many hospital visits for broken bones or stitches because with that attitude also comes a lack of any fear whatsoever. I know that she will make us proud in whatever she decides to do and I know that she will succeed at whatever she sets her mind and heart to because that is who she is, she is a fighter and has been since before she was born, So as I sit here and think over the last two years I am truly greatful to have such a wonderful daughter in my life and to be able to enjoy watching her as she grows up into a beautiful young lady.
