Happy 2nd Birthday Holden

At 11:37 AM, 2 years ago, God blessed us with the most amazing gift.  I will never forgot the look on Chuck's face or how I felt when we saw our baby boy for the very first time.  He is such an amazing little man.  He has the sweetest heart and loves his mommy and daddy just as much as we love him.  I love seeing the world though his eyes and look forward to waking up and seeing him each and every day.  Each new day brings new obstacles and lessons learned, but we wouldn't trade any of it for the world.  We cannot wait to see how he grows and develops in this next year and to see how his love grows as he becomes a big brother.

Holden, mommy and daddy love you to the moon and back.  You are the center of our world and we would do anything for you.  We are very proud of the little guy that you are becoming.  You're our little tooters.  Happy Birthday sweet boy!

Here are a few things that you are up to these days:

• You are very independent these days.  "Uh Uh" and "No" are your favorite words it seems
• You have been wearing big boy underwear for 3 weeks no, with very few accidents.  But you are doing so well.  We are very proud of you!
• "Ready.....Go" is something you say constantly.  When we get in the car, when you're playing with your cars and when you get on your four-wheeler or Harley.
• You love to laugh, you and Daddy play tickle Mommy a lot and I think you laugh more than I do.
• You've started to develop a little bit of an attitude, you roll your eyes and glare out of one side when you don't like something or are approached by a cute girl.  Its funny and cute sometimes, but not always.  Little stinker.
• You still eat everything and aren't picky when it comes to meal time.  Keep it up!
• You're favorite food right now is "cheese" and "jelly" not together of course.  But grilled cheese and peanut butter and jelly are your favorite.
• We're still working on you telling everyone that you are 2, but we'll get there.
• And the cutest thing is, you love baby brother.  Anyone can ask you where baby brother is, and you'll look at Mommy, lift up my sift, pat and love on Mommy's tummy.  You like to snuggle too, the other day you fell asleep laying on baby brother.
