My beautiful boy! You are two years old. This past year has been quite a difficult one for me because of the loss of my parents and I never would have survived it without you.

You have brought so much joy to our family in such a hard time. You make everyone laugh and smile.

I still can't get over how chatty you are. You love to talk and are very silly. You have always loved to entertain and meet people.

You have the bluest eyes like your Daddy and pinkest cheeks like your Mommy and PaPa.

You randomly will ask for someone in our family and go through everyone in their immediate family and ask where they are as well. I think it is so funny that you know who goes with who.

You are very busy and love exploring. I really love how independent and outgoing you are. Your favorite thing to do is play in the backyard, you are obsessed with your water table, trike and coupe.

You have been taking swim lessons and gymnastics. You love gymnastics, swim lessons not so much. You like to swim with us but have started hating going to class. You like to jump in the pool and will go all the way under the water and just recently was able to swim to me.

You refer to yourself as "Baby" which I find super funny and cute. You love doing more things on your own like buckling your carseat chest clip. You will say "Baby buckle".

You can count to 4 and sometimes will do more if we are lucky. You are figuring out colors and letters.

We are so blessed to have you in our lives and can't wait to see what the next year brings!
