Yesterday was Tenley's Birthday. She is 2 years old. I can hardly believe it.
Yesterday I kept thinking about the 2 years that have been her life. I thought about how tiny she seemed when we brought her home from the hospital. The sleepless nights when she would get terrible gas pains and couldn't sleep. How she rolled from her tummy to her back when she was just 8 weeks old. How she army crawled before she got up on all fours. When she was about a year old I could sing a song and she would sit on her bottom and turn in circles, using her feet. As long as I would sing she would turn, but when I stopped singing she would stop turning. When she first starting saying "Daddy", "Mama","I of youuu", "yeah ma'am", and "pease". Now she is singing songs and talking on her pretend phone. She handled being a big sister like a pro. She has never acted jealous.
She is such a special little girl. Goose and I love her so much!!!! She is so sweet. She gives hugs just to give them and she loves Miles. She is changing and growing up way too fast. I want to be able to just slow down time. I want to keep her my sweet little girl!!
I kept thinking how much she is like me!! This comes with both good and bad sides. Since she is a lot like me I know that she is going to take so many things to heart. This also means that she will love with all her heart. She has a very strong will. If she is trained and molded in the ways of God, then she will not easily be lead to do the wrong things. She will stand up for herself and others.
I also thought about the future. What does God have in store for her? What she will look like? Will she play sports? Will she play the piano? Will school be easy for her? Will she have rhythm? Will she like music? So many things...I guess time will tell!!!
Yesterday also made me think about what kind of relationship we will have. I want us to have the kind of relationship that I have with my mother. We are very close!!! I know that I can talk to her about anything. I have always felt that way. She is one of my best friends, with Nicki and Ang being right there with her. I want her to feel like she can come to me with anything and know that I will always love her and be there for her, no matter what.
We have already shared so many moments with her and there are so many more to be shared.

TWO YEARS?? MAKE TIME STOP!! I can't believe Colton is almost 3 months.. I think of him in the future sense all the time also.. I just sit and talk to him about his path in life.. of how he should put the Lord first and everything else will fall into place... being a mom is a scary place.. we mold these babies into individuals then.. dang them, they will go off and leave us.. that is it.. I refuse to let him leave :) Love you girl!!
Happy Birthday Tenley!!! She is two and I'm 22.... right?? She is a cutie. We will have to plan another movie date. Blayne loved the movies. I hope Tenley has a great party.
