You know you've turned two when ...

Lily Grace turned two years old on January 22, and has loved every minute of her new year.

The fact she’s growing and changing right before our eyes was brought home in an hilarious instant. Lily Grace has never removed any clothing on her own, other than pulling off socks, and for sure hasn’t been able to put on any clothing. At least that’s what we thought. Yesterday, I went to get her up from her afternoon nap, and as usual, found her sitting happily in her crib playing away. She jumped up to be lifted out of the crib, and as I held her, something seemed strange. Then it hit me – she didn’t have a diaper on under her pajama bottoms! Had I forgotten to put one on her prior to putting her down for her nap? I didn’t think so … then I saw it – a wet diaper lying among the stuffed animals. As I was trying to process that odd scene, Lily Grace announces, “diaper wet, pants inside out!” And sure enough, they were. A long pause of speechlessness gave way to laughter and disbelief. We’ve always been told she will grow in bursts – just didn’t appreciate how true that is!
