2 years old...

Little man,

We love you more than you will ever know. You have brought such meaning and light into our lives. Thank you for being you and making us smile and laugh every hour of every day. You have personality that I never thought I would be lucky enough to call my own. You were meant for us. Happy Birthday baby boy! You will always be our baby!

I have not done an age/milestone post in forever! His 18 month old post got lost amoungst nursing school and pregnancy brain, so we are fast forwarding to 2 years old. I guess the biggest transition for me will be doing his age in years instead of months. No more 22 months, 23 months, but just a solid 2 years old....WAAAHHH, makes him seem so old.

Height: 38 inches (very rough estimate), off the charts
Weight: 33 pounds, 98%
Wearing: 3T (without drying them..ha ha ha)
