Two!

yesterday she turned two. and she understood. all day saying mine and pointing to the birthday banner and balloons and holding up her hand with all 5 fingers. (she would like to be 5!).

i like the light in the background of this photo below. this dress carol had made for her from a vintage sheet. of course, she's adorable in it.


i remember the first year of kai's life went so sloooowwww. and i didn't understand why people always say it goes so fast. now i know. the last two years have flown. and to think about all the things she learned this past year makes it even seem faster. i look forward to seeing what's to come from this sweet little girl this year and especially what she teaches me. but not too fast please !
