My little man,

How is it that you are turning two today?  It feels like Daddy and I just found out we were pregnant with you.

Since day one of your life I swear your smile can turn the worst day into the best.  I cannot imagine our family without your daily adventures. 

There are days Daddy and I laugh saying it is lucky you are so cute.  You may only be two, but you are into everything; "never take your eyes off of your kids" is completely your MO.  You are at the stage that you have no fear - at all. " Mommy wants to scoop you up and carry you around on her hip all day to shield you from falling.

Your blankie and your Mickey Mouse are your best friend right now.  It is the sweetest thing in the world when you wake up with your morning face and bed head hair begging for me to remember your blankie and Mickey from your crib. 

Your vocabulary is growing daily it seems.  Mommy and Daddy can't get enough of how cute it is when you say sorry, or french fry.  I know you must tire of our silly "say it again" tricks, but your little voice is just so stinking cute.

You idolize your big brother.  You try to emulate everything he does.  In time little man you will be able to do big boy things too.  But right now Mommy needs life to slow down.  You are my last baby, and as much as I love watching your personality unfold, it just reminds me how quickly this is all going.

So today we will wake you with balloons and streamers decorated throughout the house.  We will sing Happy Birthday to you and have ice cream cake for dinner after you blow out your candles.  I hope you wish for the biggest grandest dream your sweet little two year old mind can think of because as your Mommy I never, ever want you to stop dreaming and living so big.

Happy 2nd Birthday little man..
We Love You!!
