Happy Birthday Jordan Toes!!!

My baby is two today. I can not believe she is such a big girl. She is not a baby anymore and she is not afraid to tell you about it!
At two Jordan speaks in complete sentences, asks "WHY??" about every little thing, names colors, laughs at her own jokes, and thinks that Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto and Goofy are her very best friends who love her as much as she loves them. Jordan eats everything and anything under the sun, terrorizes her big sisters and loves her baby brother.
Jordan is a genuinely happy little girl whose entire body lights up when she smiles or laughs. She can spend the better part of the day on the phone talking to her very best friend, Minnie Mouse, and is genuinely insulted when her sisters do not want to talk to her. When there happens to be a live person on the other end of the line, she is in her element answering questions, telling them about her day (especially if we have gone to the Disney store), and giving kisses. Today after talking to Uncle Danny, she looked up at me and said "Uncle Danny said happy birthday to ME, Minnie!!" I can not tell you how it made her day to come running to the phone to talk to her cousins while they wished her a very happy birthday.
Watching her face while they sang "Happy Birthday" to her in the restaurant tonight was a real treat, she was so excited! I'm glad she got her ice cream first because earlier she was talking about her "Minnie cake". She thoroughly enjoyed her birthday, including the presents that were waiting for her when we came home. She dove into those like a big kid also. Not willing to except help from her eagerly waiting sisters. All the while singing "Happy Birthday to ME!"
Jordan has grown up in an instant right in front of our very eyes. Wasn't it just yesterday she was our baby?

Note from dad:
Jordan is a very passionate little girl. When she plays she means it. When she eats she means it. When she gives a hug she really means it. It has been a great pleasure to watch her develop from a lump of chopped liver into an amazing little girl. I can't wait to see what the next birthday brings.
