Oh my sweet, joyful, easy going, 2 ...TWO year old, Camilly.
::You make our hearts smile, but I must say that our ears will never be the same again! Even Lila's ears are not safe from your 'ear/face snuggles' that we've come to love oh so very much. I'm pretty certain God gave us all ears... just for you to snuggle.
::Speaking of ears... you are loud. Very loud. And there isn't really a volume switch in your make-up. You try really hard to be quiet around Lila, then it's like something spontaneously combusts within you!
::You are easy going and readily share even your favoritest newest toys with your big sister, "He-e ew go Wee." However, you have not the slightest problem in asserting yourself.
::When you make up your mind, there is no changing it.
::It's fun to see the similarities and differences between you and Maria. While Maria takes forever to make up her mind, you are generally quick and decisive. You know exactly what you want. Another difference is that you are one tough cookie. You take your tumbles and just keep on going. Maybe a day or 2 later, you will ask for a bandaid. It's pretty funny.
::Your smile, laugh, and affectionate nature are contagious. 'Joy' was the word I chose to hang on your wall before you were born, and it was exactly the right choice.
::You smile the biggest when Ree and Dada come home.
::You are always concerned with having everyone all together. If someone is missing from the room or from our day, you always ask where they are... Including Audrey and Mookie.
::You adore your big sister, immolating everything she does. From needing to "dw-ah" (draw), to hoola hooping (I still need to post that video), to jumping in surprise and yelling "ahhh" an equal number of times in the neighbor's yard over their Halloween decor!
::You love being a big sister, taking off running to wherever Lila is when she cries. "I get ba-bee, Lila!" Whom you called Liza for the first 2 weeks of her life!
::You think you're bigger than you are. I do my best to slow you down.
::On your birthday you asked over and over to have 'my happy bir-day to ew'. I finally figured out this meant you wanted me to sing Happy Birthday over and over. You also went around for days and days before your birthday singing Happy Birthday to everyone, especially to Lila.
::You are a wonderful, beautiful, joyful gift to our family... To the world. Love you, peely Camilly.
