second

today is savannah's second birthday. this letter is for her:

my dearest savannah,

today is your second birthday. and, it is so amazing to me how different you are this year than you were last year.

shortly after your birthday last year, you learned how to crawl... now you walk all over the place, you climb and you are almost running a lot of the time. last year you seemed very much still a baby to me, and now, while you are still small, you are not a baby at all.

shortly after your birthday last year you were only speaking a word or two, and now you seem to learn new words every day. you talk lots and lots (even if i can't understand most of it, quite yet) and i'm always excited to see what words you might learn next.

you've grown so much, in so many different ways. i love being able to watch you learn something new about the world, or just something new about yourself. i'm so happy for the person you've become today, as well as excited to see what sort of person you might be a day, a week, a month or another year from now.

i love to watch you assert your personality when i tell you that you can't do something you want to do... even if it does mean watching you cry or yell at me. i love to watch you be unexpectedly sweet, to me, like kissing my leg while i'm talking on the phone. and i love to see you dance and smile and laugh, with almost everything you do, everyday.

you remind me to slow down sometimes, when your own little legs can't keep up, or if you think something is worth stopping for -- like raindrops on leaves, or looking up at the clouds in the sky. even if it's time to do something else, and you bring me a book, we read together. you have shown me some of the simple pleasures in life, some of which i had forgotten about for a while.

your insatiable curiosity for the world has renewed my own. your pervasive happiness during each day has become my own. your enthusiasm for life has also become my own. and, i thank you so much for all of these gifts. i'm lucky to see these things again, and i'm lucky to know you.

the little baby things of only two years ago seem so far away. the hospital, the waiting, the worrying, all seem to be fading like fog when the sun rises. and, oh, do i feel like the sun has risen finally.

now, mommy and daddy are getting ready to move us all into a new house. and, it makes us both very happy. we hope that you will love it there. we hope you will have places to play. space to run around. and, having a home with be ever so much better than having our apartment here. we promise.

you have many people who have come to know you and love you in these two short years. and, you also have many people who know how remarkable you are, how strong, how determined... how completely special you are. we are all lucky to know you, and have the chance to love you.

i hope so many things for you, sweet pea, but mostly, i want you to be happy. your daddy and i love you so much, and i hope you always know that.

so, happy birthday, savannah... thank you for two wonderful years, and many many more.

love always and forever,
mommy

Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for inexperienced blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate it.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

Posted by: Orange County Criminal Lawyer at February 5, 2012 10:01 PM

I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz respond as I'm looking to construct my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. cheers

Greetings! I've been following your website for a while now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Porter Tx! Just wanted to say keep up the excellent job!

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. But just imagine if you added some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this site could undeniably be one of the very best in its field. Excellent blog!

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

I would also love to add that if you do not actually have an insurance policy or perhaps you do not participate in any group insurance, chances are you'll well really benefit from seeking the aid of a health broker. Self-employed or those with medical conditions usually seek the help of a health insurance specialist. Thanks for your text.Thanks for your short article. I would also like to say that your health insurance dealer also works best for the benefit of the particular coordinators of your group insurance policy. The health insurance professional is given a list of benefits looked for by a person or a group coordinator. Exactly what a broker may is try to find individuals or coordinators that best go with those demands. Then he provides his tips and if all parties agree, the broker formulates a contract between the two parties.I would also like to say that most individuals who find themselves with out health insurance usually are students, self-employed and those that are unemployed. More than half with the uninsured are under the age of Thirty-five. They do not come to feel they are requiring health insurance since they're young plus healthy. Their own income is generally spent on homes, food, in addition to entertainment. A lot of people that do go to work either 100 % or as a hobby are not given insurance through their work so they move without due to the rising cost of health insurance in the states. Thanks for the ideas you talk about through this blog.Thanks for the thoughts you write about through this web site. In addition, several young women which become pregnant will not even try and get medical care insurance because they are concerned they won't qualify. Although many states currently require that insurers produce coverage despite the pre-existing conditions. Charges on these kind of guaranteed programs are usually bigger, but when considering the high cost of health care bills it may be a new safer way to go to protect one's financial potential.I have realized that of all different types of insurance, medical health insurance is the most questionable because of the conflict between the insurance policies company's need to remain adrift and the user's need to have insurance policy. Insurance companies' commission rates on health plans are certainly low, hence some providers struggle to gain profits. Thanks for the strategies you discuss through this web site.

Thanks for your write-up. I also believe laptop computers have grown to be more and more popular nowadays, and now are often the only sort of computer employed in a household. It is because at the same time that they are becoming more and more very affordable, their working power is growing to the point where they're as powerful as desktop coming from just a few in years past. I have seen loads of useful items on your web site about computer systems. However, I have the opinion that laptops are still more or less not powerful adequately to be a good option if you usually do tasks that require lots of power, like video modifying. But for website surfing, word processing, and majority of other typical computer work they are perfectly, provided you may not mind the little screen size. Thank you sharing your thinking.I have figured out some new items from your site about computer systems. Another thing I have always thought is that laptop computers have become an item that each household must have for some reasons. They offer convenient ways to organize homes, pay bills, shop, study, listen to music and perhaps watch television shows. An innovative strategy to complete these types of tasks has been a laptop. These pc's are portable ones, small, robust and portable.Thanks for helping me to get new suggestions about computers. I also have belief that certain of the best ways to help keep your laptop computer in leading condition is to use a hard plastic case, or maybe shell, that will fit over the top of your computer. Most of these protective gear usually are model distinct since they are made to fit perfectly over the natural housing. You can buy all of them directly from the seller, or from third party sources if they are intended for your notebook, however its not all laptop will have a spend on the market. Yet again, thanks for your points.Thanks for expressing your ideas here. The other factor is that whenever a problem occurs with a laptop motherboard, persons should not consider the risk involving repairing the item themselves for if it is not done right it can lead to permanent damage to the complete laptop. It is almost always safe just to approach a dealer of your laptop for the repair of its motherboard. They will have technicians who've an knowledge in dealing with notebook computer motherboard issues and can make the right prognosis and undertake repairs.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
