As I watched her sleep in her favourite ‘dolly’ pyjamas, I couldn’t help but ponder where time had gone. It literally feels like yesterday I was lying in the deliver room, gel inserted, mild contractions annoying the bejesus out of me. It feels like yesterday where the anticipation to meet my little Lily was so intense I thought I was going to burst.
Two years have passed in a blur and now, I wait with anticipation for my princess, my real life princess, to wake two years old.
As I watched her sleep for the last time as a one year old I couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness. It won’t be long before the dummy is gone; the cot has made way for a big girl bed, and that baby face will be but a mere shadow of its former self. Sigh. Why do they grow so fast?
As I watched her sleep I thought about how she’ll grow up. I thought about her tenacity and strong will. I thought about her cheeky persona. I thought about her first haircut; first day of school and her first sleepover. As I watched her sleep I thought about a lot of things.
So my baby girl is growing older. Honestly, I really can’t wait to see what she becomes. Watching Byron grow has been such a pleasure and I can’t help thinking that the journey of Lily will be just as pleasurable.
As I watched her sleep I pictured those chubby little hands devouring not one but two of the baby cakes I made for her to take to kindy – to celebrate her birthday!

Happy Birthday princess Lily!! Two years have flown by Nic, I can't believe it either! Lily you were just 6 weeks old the first time I had the pleasure in meeting you. Just a tiny little bundle with the world at your feet and now look at you. Your two! All grown up, having conversations, going to the potty, exploring your world everyday, but you know what, you will ALWAYS be my little bundle. I can't wait to see you again my big Princess Lily. I miss you and love you more than you know. Love Aunty Jo (ohh and the rest of the family!) xoxoxoxo

Happy Birthday beautiful girl! You have been gorgeous right from the very beginning, right from the first moment I came and visited you and your Mummy in the hospital. You had those beautiful cherub lips and chubby cheeks. Can't wait to see you again soon, and have a little conversation with you! Love Kylie, Sophie, Stella & Eliza (+Rod!). xxxxx
