Happy 2nd Birthday, Anastasia Maria!

🎀 🦢 December 30, 2023 🦢🎀

I can’t believe how fast the last year went. Anastasia is now two! She’s loud and silly and loves to dance and sing all the time. But she’s also shy and playful. She loves to cuddle and will whisper ‘back’ when she wants Mommy to rub her back. Her favorite thing to say throughout the day is “Hiya, Mama!” and “Hiya, Daddy!”

Other favorite things she says are:

Minnie Mote = I want to watch Mickey Mouse Club House
Cheez cackahs = I want some cheese and crackers
Cocos = Cookies, Please
Ceepe = I want grapes
Gammy, Auntie, Baboo = When are we seeing Grammy, Auntie, and Papouli?
Beese = any kind of bug
Boo = Anything halloween related, mostly pumpkins
Bash = I want to play in the bath
Rishe Poodig = Rice Pudding, please!

She’s at the age now where she loves to walk with us but will spend the entire walk picking out rocks from the sidewalk, rolling around in peoples lawns, and running back and forth along the sidewalk while Daddy chases her and pregnant Mommy tries to keep up.

We are so lucky to have her as our daughter. Here are some photos from our birthday shoot we did in our living room.
