Risa

Risa has turned two!!!!  I can't believe where the time has gone and my baby is 2!  She has been such a joy to have in our lives.  She is shy (until she warms up to you and then watch out!), sassy, smart, sweet, caring, playful (with a touch of crazy), loves to cuddle, can hold her own and will tell you what she thinks no matter what.  Which in my opinion is her best character trait!  She will take her hair out and undress any chance she gets, loves books, Doc McStuffins (Disney Junior show), loves to pretend she is a princess, loves to run around and laugh and well just be crazy.  She just loves life and she reminds me often that I need to too! 

The things that Risa currently loves to say is:
"don't do that"
"stop it"
"I don't like that"
"I'n scared"
"Mcstuffinsssssssssss"
"Okay Mum!"
"Daddy's home"
"Excuse me"
and my favorite is when I drop Jaxon off at school and she says "Bye, love you"

We have loved our sweet Risa so much and feel so blessed that she is a part of our lives.  We have loved watching her grow up and develop into this beautiful person.  When I put her to bed at night and I am rocking her and singing her song to her and she puts her little head on my shoulder and cuddles up to me and starts to sing with me, I realize that she won't be my baby much longer and that I won't be able to hold her like I do now and I just want to scream "stop growing".  But I know that won't happen and she will only get bigger, but a mum can wish can't she?

 

 

Happy Birthday Risa!

And thank you to all the people who helped celebrate with us!  It was a nice coincidence that it was on her birthday weekend that our friends were here from California and Oregon.
