elodie is 2

I don't know how it happens, one minute they're a little baby and next thing you know they are walking around everywhere and giving you some attitude with their tantrums when things aren't going their way. That is my Elodie right now.

Cute as a button, cuddly as a bear, gives you big wet kisses and is as sweet as they come. But ask her to do something she doesn't want to and she shows you who is the boss! And we love her for it. She was the first of our surprise babies. Conceived 'au natural' as my doctor likes to say and was just meant to be. Which is lucky because I really wanted to use one of my favourite baby names.

She made her first stage debut at 2 months playing baby Jesus to a packed audience at the Christmas eve mass. The only baby we've timed nicely to coincide with church needing a small baby at Christmas.

And when I think of her as a baby I just think of the hair! All of this dark hair and big blue eyes.

 

and the cheeks

and her love of pulling faces! this one is probably my favourite face of all time! I am totally sharing this at her 21st!

and although she's been behind the other kids in terms of her milestones she's still got there eventually! with plenty of soft landings

she's always been a cute model too!

and she might just be the most photographed of all of my babies! It might have something to do with the fact that I thought she was my last bub!

 

and she always makes us laugh, here's another funny face!

 Happy birthday to my sweet little elodie. 2 years down and so many fun years ahead of us!
