Pictures from my Birthday Party... finally

The food

The cake--we ate Elmo. Yum!!!


Presents. Wow!


Riding on my car in my new boots. Sassy.

And me with all the people who love me most in the world. I love them too!

Two Years, 6 days and then...

"For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You." Psalm 139: 13-18

This is me on my birth day over two years ago. I was so tiny.

One year later mom and dad let me dig into some cake. What a fabulous day that was. I was much bigger, but then one year later...

I am a ginormous two year old with a brand new...

baby brother. Isn't he sweet. And so tiny just like I was.

His name is Thomas Andrew Davis, but I refer to him as "Baby Thomas." I plan on calling him that for the rest of his life even when he is taller than I am.
I just love his little toes. Can you believe how small he is?!

And I love smothering him in kisses!!!

I am getting better every day at being gentle with him. He is my sweet baby doll and I am thrilled to be a big sister. I think I will be pretty good at this job. I have been practicing with my babies for a long time.
He is pretty sleepy these days, but when he can manage to hold his eyes open for more than 15 minutes at a time, he will start writing his own blog so you can keep up with his side of the story.

Thanks for praying for my sweet baby brother. Our great big God gave him good healthy lungs and lots of hair and is sustaining him daily.

Happy Birthday to Me

Yesterday, I turned 2 years old. WOW! I can't believe it... neither can mommy and she has been rather teary about it--something called pregnancy hormones. ;0) Anyway, it has been a great two years on this great big world, and I am loving this birthday thing. The presents just keep rolling in.




Thanks to all who have sent presents! Kisses and hugs!
More pictures of party festivities to come!!!

My Big Family Vacation

I went to Gatlinburg, TN for a week vacation with mom's family. I had A LOT of fun while I was there. Check it out!

Here is a picture of the four of us (including Thomas) outside of a craft fair


This is Granna and me at Old Mill


Another yummy meal. We ate at the Old Mill this time. You really got to try it. Daddy and Mommy shared their plate with me because every time they buy me something I don't eat it, but if they give it to me from their plates then I eat like normal.


Here I am with cousin Gabriel at a pumpkin patch. We got to play a lot while we were in Gatlinburg. He let me play with his collection of airplanes and helicopters all week.


Daddy went backpacking with Uncle Jeff and was telling me how important it is to have a hiking stick ... so I went and got one of my own ... and it's my size!


While we were at the Pumpkin Patch, they were also selling apples. I went and picked this one myself and bit into it ... before anyone knew about it :)


I've gotten pretty good at eating these things.


We all went to Putt Putt so Gabe could try out his new putter. Grandpa had taught me how to hit golf balls, but he never told me I had to hit it in a certain direction.


While we were at Putt Putt I saw this elephant and I thought he was real, but I could not hear him talking back.


...neither could I get him to budge.


I found a car that was just my size and took it out for a spin.


I bonded with my sweet Granna. I love her.


And I love my Poppa too. I am pretty sure they kind of like me too.


Poppa played the guitar for Gabe and me at our picnic at Chimneys. It was so pretty, but very cold. Good thing we had hot roasted marshmallows to warm us up.


This is my Aunt Tabby. She is so much fun. I think she has as much energy as I do. I love running around with her.


Sadly, the vacation had to come to an end, and we had to pack up to go find our next "home." Riding on this cart is pretty fun though.
