Talk About Melting Your Heart

Yesterday morning while lying in bed I saw Nevie on the monitor start to stir. I got up in anticipation of her waking up and began brushing my teeth. As I was finishing up, I heard Nevie yell out "Mama wha are you [where are you]?" After a few seconds, she yelled out the same thing again, but a little more emphatically this time. I walked into her room and found her standing at the corner of her crib holding her Dora doll. We had the following conversation:

Me: Good Morning Nevie!
Nevie: Hi!
Me: Did you sleep well?
Nevie: yeah...I dream!
Me: You dreamed last night?
Nevie: yeah
Me: What did you dream about? (fully expecting her to say "animals" as she usually does)
Nevie looked at me with a big smile and said "Mama".

Talk about melting your heart!!

I See Elephants!

We took Nevie to her first Circus this past Friday. We went with Aunts Ronnie, Norma, Uncle Wes and cousin Emery. The girls had so much fun! What was Nev's favorite part? The elephants, but of course. :) She repeatedly yelled "I see elephants!" as Chad carried her back to the car. Chad yelled back "I know!" each time, which cracked Nevie up.

Ready to go to my 1st Circus!

Posing in the super cute dress Mamaw made me for by birthday.

Nev was climbing the cage. She wanted to pet the tigers. No fear.

Cousin Love

Nev was upset that we weren't letting her run around.

Waiting for the circus to start.

I love watching the circus!

Entranced by the performance of the horses.

Not sure what this fluffy stuff that melts in your mouth is, but it's yum!

I had so much fun!

Happy 2nd Birthday Party Nevis!

So BG is two! Our little Nevie-Nev is growing up too fast. Time is going by too fast. We had her party this past Saturday and it was a wonderful time. Prior to her party starting, we were listening to music and Nev nestled her head in my neck and wrapped her arm around me tight. I was overwhelmed with the feeling of an overflowing heart. :) She is getting so big and we just love her so much. Thanks to everyone who came over to celebrate our sweet girl's 2nd birthday. She is surely loved as we had as much as 63 family and good friends at her party! She was so happy and it was because you all came to celebrate her big day!

Oh and if you can't tell, it was a farm animal themed party b/c as we all know by now Nevie LOVES animals. :) We had an awesome petting zoo and a pony named "Fancy". Since then, she has continually talked about the animals who were at her party and how she rode a pony. So cute!
