TWO Years Old






Where does the time go? Was it really two years ago today I was in the hospital recovering from labor and delivery.....holding the most precious gift we've ever been blessed with? Time sure flies. At 11:05 today, Madilyn officially became our TWO year old!

To celebrate such a momentous occasion, we started the day off exactly how Madi requested- with "breakfast cupcakes" of course! Some of you may recognize them as doughnuts, but I am rather fond of breakfast cupcakes myself.


After breakfast we stropped by Jamba Juice for some yummy smoothies en route to the zoo. Boy oh boy did Madilyn have fun.We went with Grandma and Grandpa Merritt, Megan, and Uncle Cole. She only stayed in her stroller long enough to get to the first exhibit. After that, she walked the rest of the way. I couldn't believe how far she walked all on her own.

Of course, the trip simply wouldn't be complete without a ride on Dale the camel. One look at the other kiddos riding this big guy and Madi wanted to join right in. Since Daddy was a bit turned off by the camel and pregnant mamas aren't supposed to go camel riding, her Godmommy graciously offered.

After the zoo we stopped and grabbed some lunch and now we're all headed down for naps. What a wonderful and busy day!

looks like you all had a blast! Hope she had a great birthday. It's so impressive to see her way up on the camel.
