We Can't Believe It!!

Our baby is all grown up... well, not really. But he did turn 2!! Yikes!! These last two years have been some of the hardest 2 years of my life -- but also the most fun, amazing, rewarding, incredible 2 years. Tyler and I can't even imagine what our lives would be like without this adorable little boy in our lives. He makes it so much better. And for all the trouble he is, he certainly makes up for it with his cuteness, smartness, sweetness and silliness. We love him beyond crazy!!



He now weighs a whopping 24 pounds and stands at a towering 32 inches (if any of you are familiar with heights and weights of toddlers -- that's roughly the size of a large one year old). He's still a small guy, but he's got a HUGE personality to cover that up. He's in the 5th% for height and weight -- pretty consistent for the way he's been growing since he was born. He never really had a chance at being big anyway, considering his parents.

He's getting incredibly smart these days, too. His vocabulary is crazy and his understanding of logical events is amazing. He knows his letters, tons of songs, how to put on his own shoes and shirts (and take them off). He knows how to do pee pee in the potty (although refuses to do it now since one time he sat down, nothing came out, he cried that "it's not working!!!" and instead opts for peeing in the bath.) He can usually tell us exactly what he wants and when he wants it. He dislikes time-outs very much which works out well for us since he actually listens when we threaten him with them. He's an incredible kid and we feel so blessed to watch him grow. His heart is HUGE and he is so loving and kind (but not in a sissy way, much to the relief of his dad).



Happy Birthday little man!! We love you more than life itself. And here's to many many more happy ones.
