Hosanna's TWO!

 

Oh happy day!  The day you finally turned your favorite number big girl- TWO!!  Mommy made you an Elmo cake which made you so crazy happy.  Elmo is your absolute fave.  Every afternoon before mommy gets dinner ready you will say "mommy, Elmo!"  When that "lalalala, lalalala, Elmo's World" theme song comes on, you come absolutely unglued with giddy delight and run around the living room dancing with your arms up high.

Look at you.  You're so dang cute.  You absolutely exude with laughter and joy.  Your tight little curls and pinchable cheeks make me wanna gobble you up.  You've been clapping and dancing on the beat for as long as we've known you.  Daddy and I swear you danced yourself outta the womb.

Here you are dazzled by your TWO candles.  You sure do love the number two. Daddy and I regularly pray that you and Asher will be two bright lights in a dark world.  It's the cutest thing to see you squint your eyes when it's time to pray.  You don't want to close them because you don't want to miss a thing.  You crack yourself up often doing this which makes it hard not to laugh :)

"Nommy, Nommy!" is one of your favorite expressions.  You've also started speaking in short sentences which has been so much fun to hear.  A few of your most used ones are:  "I want this!"  "I need help!"  "Hi mommy!"  "Bye daddy!"  "Go bye bye?" "I want applesauce/cookies/grilled cheese/snack!"  You have recently become fascinated with school buses.  Whenever you see one you scream "ba-bus!  ba-bus!".   I see so much compassion springing up within you for others Zana.   You regularly come beside Asher when he is crying and ask "Asher, you ok?" and then proceed to let me know you think he needs a bandaid (whether he really needs one or not) by saying "Asher boo-boo!" 

Daddy and I are overjoyed that God would bless us with you, sweet girl.  Today we are praising Him for your life and are asking Him to use all of your fiest, your love, your laughter, and your giftings to glorify Him all of the days of your life.  Happy Birthday Zana girl!  We love you!
