M's Birthday

Our little girl turned two-years-old a couple of weeks ago. It's amazing how once kids reach this milestone, they magically turn into little girls/boys, and are no longer your babies. Makayla seems so grown up, and I'm sure it's even more evident with an older brother around teaching her new things (good and bad) every day. She is a bit of a diva, yet she can hold her own with Joshua. She likes playing with Brother's trucks, but is also quick to carry around her purse and give kisses to her baby doll. When Brother isn't around, she is very good at independent play, and definitely welcomes the momentary quiet. She is compassionate and empathetic, as she'll put herself into timeout when Brother gets put into timeout. Most of all, she lives up to her middle name as she is pure "joy" to be around. She truly lights up our world.
