Girlfriends...

It's so amazing to see how much you have changed over the last 6 months. In just the last two months you have gone from single words to sentences to actual conversations. I love to listen to you and watch your gestures. Your little mind is working constantly and you can even differentiate b/w past,present and future. Today you woke up excited to go to school and when you got in the car you quietly said," I'm going to see Kaley (your girlfriend) today." with a smile on your face. Your Daddy thought it was so cute that he had to call me at work to tell me. Your teacher says that you have two girlfriends and that you are very protective of them. She calls you her"Cassanova" b/c you are so loving. She says that you give kisses and hugs constantly. I love that you can be so sweet and loving, yet so energetic and strong willed. You have such a wonderful personality.

Pumpkin Patch 2008

Today we went to the "Pumpkin Patch" with the girls from work, Aunt Ally,Greta and Ella. Oh my, did we ever have a blast! We missed the hayride to the patch by a few minutes, but we made up for it by exploring everything else. They had hundreds of pre-picked pumpkins in all sizes, picture backdrops, play gyms, a sandbox and a petting zoo. Your favorite had to be the "John Deere" tractor ride. You rode it through the corn maze (out of my site)and were oblivious to the fact that I was missing. You could have rode it all day! I learned very quickly that posed pics were not an option, so I will post the ones of you on the run! LOL! I am slowly learning that you are the boss these days and that I need to just give in on some things. One thing I won't give in on is watching you explore and just be a little boy! Happy Fall Baby Boy!!!

The cutest words...

You say the cutest things these days. I have to start putting some of your daily comments on here so that I won't forget. Tonight as you were sitting on the potty, you pinched Gabbie's (our Choc.Lab) cheeks and said,"Look at me. No hitting. O.K.?". I about died when I realized you were mimicking me getting onto you. I guess you hear that alot these days!LoL! You have also been saying," Hold you Mommy?" when you want me to pick you up and "Get down" when you want me to get down to your level and focus on you. My favorite is when you say, "Please, Thankyou Mommy, Your welcome, or Bless you" at the appropriate times. Your sweet manners are so precious. I think you could make anyone melt!!

Two years, Too soon.....

Two years ago I realized the potential of unconditional love. I saw it in your father's face and I felt it in my heart with the sound of your first cry. Through all the years of wanting to be a mother, I never imagined what being a mother would truly feel like. You my child are the light of our lives. We look forward to each new day and the discoveries that we will make together. You have stolen our hearts with your laughter and your smiles galore. I look forward to each new adventure that you take us on and I promise that I will lock every memory in my heart forever. Happy 2nd Birthday, my love. Love- Mommy
