Willow is turning 2 and becoming a big sister!

My sweet, sweet Willow is going to be 2 in a couple of weeks and then she will become a big sister! I can not believe it. She is my little bitty baby. Willow and I have always had an amazing relationship, even if she has become a huge daddy's girl and foot ball  fan! I loved all of the time I got to spend nursing her, holding her and being near her while she grew into this beautiful little toddler. Now she is talking up a storm and has grown into her own little person. Her personality shines through and she is not afraid to show you who she is. Willow is a smart little cookie who has learned how to stand up for herself and get what she wants. It is funny how she runs the show with her brothers and sister! I hope that determination and stubbornness is used for good some day! Karl and I had a day recently where the older three were with grandma, so Willow came with us out to eat. As soon as we sat down she started demanding football. She told the waitress over and over again, "football game on". I think she is going to be Daddy's little Packer football buddy! Her daddy has always hoped for a sweet little daddy's girl and he loves that Willow loves him so much. I am so proud of her and I can't wait to see her personality develop more and more. I know she will be a tom-boy since horses and tractors are her favorite. But I think she will be a great mama too, because she loves nothing more than her babies. She is so sweet and sensitive with her little dolls. She pushes them in her strollers and covers them to keep them warm. She even tries to nurse them! Makes me a proud mama. I know she will be an amazing big sister next month when Linc arrives.
