No more babies in my house!

Today is Caris' 2nd birthday -- happy birthday baby girl!

"Baby girl" is what I have called her for almost all of her young life but it doesn't really apply anymore. It's hard to believe that she is 2 years old. However, she's doing great with potty training and not in diapers anymore. She's so independent, talking better every day, smart, loving, just a ball of joy! There's not much about her anymore that even resembles a baby.

What a blessing to parent a girl after two boys. It's made me a much more well rounded dad that's for sure. Raising girls and boys are so different and we're only at the beginning. By the way, our boys love their sister to death! When Caris first came home they were such good brothers, but honestly we thought that it would wear off as she got older and started playing with their toys, cutting into their one-on-one time, and generally being the youngest. We couldn't have been more wrong! Those boys dote on her, love on her, get things for her, and generally treat her like the princess that she is. Caris truly is a treasure to our home and we are blessed that today she turned 2.
