Today is day one of my journal to you. You are, as of today, twenty three months old. In just a few weeks you will finally be two. We are currently together at the beach, and it is just the first day of me chasing you around the beach, looking pretty.. stupid J I’m not sure, to be quite honest, what gave me the urge to do something like this for you. It could possibly be all the time that we have been spending together lately, or how it seems as if you are starting to really warm up to me (which is surprising considering you are very shy and don’t do that with most people right now), or just that I knew since your mommy got pregnant that you would be very important to me and in my heart I know you deserve something as special as this. (It’s special to me anyways) You are one very spunky, diva-ish, and jumping on the bed loving girl. And I’ve never met someone like you. You might be twenty three months old but you put a smile on my face like nobody ever has. The way you constantly scream at the top of your lungs, the way you say “hold you, hold you, hold you” over and over, and the way you love to take “cheesing” pictures with me just brightens my day. As I sit here and write I think about how you’re reading this now.. and you’re the age I am now, and it just completely blows my mind. To think that the cute little baby that I love so dearly is going to become such a beautiful, smart young lady scares me, to be honest. This may sound a little bad, but I hope you’re nothing like me when I was that age, or this age, however you want to say it J

I guess since I probably won’t remember very many details about me being 14, I should tell you a little about myself, my life, and my life with you. As you know, hopefully by now, I am fourteen and in a month or two, will be a sophomore in high school. I am a huge mommys girl, but your mommy just so happens to be the second mother figure in my life. I enjoy writing, obviously ;), my cell phone (of course), reading, facebook (I wonder if that’s going to be around in 13 years?), English, hanging out with friends, and of course being with my favorite, you! J When I first started coming around you a lot you really weren’t a fan of me, you were actually a big fan of Elliott. (jealousy) But as I said before, as much time as I’ve spent getting to know you, letting you get to know me, and warming up to you, I think it’s pretty safe to say that I am at least one of your favorites now J You are currently at the stage where you want everything you can put your hands on, including my cell phone. You enjoy taking my phone and calling/texting just about everyone in my phone. Like right now, you’re pressing so many buttons, haha. I keep getting zoned out thinking about how you being so young and little now and later you’re going to be big enough to read and, oh my gosh, I am babbling J I do that way too often. Anyways, you also enjoy screaming at the top of your lungs, EXTREMELY loud, if you can’t get what it is you want. You also like to hit people, including me L and your mommy! And it’s funny because when you get in trouble for it, you just laugh at her when she puts you in time out. I just sit and laugh because 1) it didn’t hurt ;) 2) every baby does it. I guess you just need to learn it’s “not nice.” You are a real character. But I love you dearly.

I think I am going to end it short tonight. And probably write something longer some other time. I’ll be sure to tell you about some neat tricks you learn ;) You seem to learn or do something new every day. I hope you enjoyed reading about the first day at the beach. I love you J
