Oh how my heart bursts with love for you.
Also, how are you TWO!?
Your long legs and short hair cut, your many, many words and your hilarious facial expressions; all these show to me you are no longer "baby", but quickly turning into "boy".
I cherish each day.
Not necessarily longing for the past or yearning for the future but learning to be happy each day with whatever stage you are in.
This year has been a full one for us all!
You continue to surprise us with the amount of things you know; colours {you know red & purple!}, numbers, letters, songs and words to songs, characters {minnie and mickey mouse!}, you love to jump, run and climb and you HATE being left behind somewhere in the house {upstairs, downstairs, etc.} but you have no qualms about running off in the mall by yourself.
You are a mystery and yet you are predictable.
You are a joy and a challenge.
You are ridiculously cute and cheeky and you know how to do "blue steel" looks on command.
You call Noah "Neeno" but now know how to say "Noah" and also call him your "brutha". It's cute.
You call your Daddy "Daddy" and you call me "Mama", "Mom", "Mommy" and sometimes "A-nessa". Cheeky.
You are determined and creative and I am loving each day of getting to know you more and more.
I pray for you often and hard and I think about who you are becoming and who you will be and how I can help you get to be the man God wants you to be.
Your Daddy and I pray you will come to know Jesus and love Him with all your heart, soul and mind and that you will contend for the faith wherever God leads you.
Happy 2nd birthday my sweet boy.
We love you.
