TWO years old??

Okay, is it just off-the-charts weird that I could hardly sleep last night knowing that when I woke up Chiara wasn't going to be one anymore? Eldon says she's not two until 8:00pm since that's when she was born. :) I say it's true. We have three more hours of one-ness.

I took her to get her pictures taken at Walmart this morning, since every other photo place was a million more miles away. Gotta love our little town in the boondocks. I'm going to put the preliminary photos here, sorry about the copyright watermarks ... If I would have bought the CD for $250 they would be prettier. I almost cried to have to leave all those beautiful pictures, but oh well. We can take more. :)

I think Chiara is the cutest thing I've ever seen. I even love that picture where she's sobbing. :) It's so her to put her finger to her mouth in the ultimate poor-little-victim pose. Usually she puts her hands over her mouth when she cries ... I just think it's the cutest thing. This is the one I ordered to send to grandparents and frame on her bedroom wall. I can't believe how grown up she looks compared to last year's picture!

Happy birthday, Baby Sweet. Daddy and Mommy are so in love with you! We're yours forever.
