I'm 2

I laugh because I guess uncle bob is coming to your party. I hope he knows.

2 Years Old

Happy Birthday Baby! You are now 2. The past week you have been walking around talking about CAKE and Birthday Party! When I ask you how old you are going to be you hold up 4 fingers and say "TWO!" Saturday will be a blast and I am sure you will run around like a maniac.

You are starting to put together 5 word sentences and are telling me your emotions as they come to you. School is a favorite. Today you wanted to go right after you woke up after nap. You still like to be carried even though you can walk. You give great hugs and love your feet tickled. I can barely keep shoes on your feet. You like to pick your shirts in the morning.

Potty training is around the corner. You tell me when you go and now it is just a matter of getting you to the pot before it happens. Buzz and Woody are some of your favorites as well as Jessie. You want to help with everything and sometimes getting in the car seat takes forever. You love telling me stories and "Look Mommy Look! Over Here! Right There!" as you point to something in the distance. You are so passionate about it I giggle every time.

You are a parrot. Almost anything I say you will repeat. Hard words like armadillo or octopus don't stop you. I am always amazed at the stuff you are picking up.

You have made this year the best year of my life. Shhhh don't tell Daddy but I bet if you ask him, he will say the same thing. Sometimes at night I think about how I couldn't possibly love you any more than I do now. Then I wake up and walk in your room. I see your smiling face and realize how wrong I was. I only hope that your life it as full as you have made mine. I love you. That is one thing you don't say yet. You do sign it. I will take it any way I can.

Love Always,
Mama
