Two!

Our youngest just marked a second trip around the sun with a swinging shindig centered around what seems to fascinate him the most right now- cars and trucks. He seemed to soak up every moment, and I tried to, too. I can't believe it's already here, his Second Birthday.

What a light in our lives this little guy is. He wakes up happy, he loves giving hugs and playing with his big Sissy, there is almost nothing he won't eat or at least try (just keep mashed potatoes and lima beans away from him, thank you very much), he's afraid of movies unless he's sitting in Mama's lap, he loves to help unload the dishwasher, and he loves to sprint around naked before bath time.

Sometimes it seems like he has bad dreams.

Sometimes he gets so frustrated he throws whatever he can gets his hands on.

He loves to sit on the potty with a favorite book, though he hasn't connected what he's supposed to do once he's there.... yet. But he loves being up there.

He is always excited to see Daddy when he comes home, and he is always ticklish.

He is a treasure, and we are so glad he's here.

Happy birthday, Bubba.
