Two Years... (too fast)

Today you turn two. WOW! I can't believe that you are two already, I know I have said that so many times. When you turned one month, seven months, one year, just the other day. I always am saying how fast you are growing and how big you are getting, but you really are! Now you are learning so many new things, the world is your playground and you are defiantly exploring as much of it as you can. Two years ago you had just entered this world and I had to do everything for you. Now there isn't much that you want me to do for you. You couldn't feed yourself, now it's an insult if I dare try and feed you or help you eat. A year ago I had to dress you and changed your diaper 100 times a day (okay not really that many times, but it seemed like it!), today you can almost get yourself undressed and you have started using the big potty. There are so many countless things that you have learned to do in the past years, that it really just amazes me. Even simple things - last night you wanted your lawn mover and your big box of legos in the living room. And you didn't want to make two trips. All by yourself, you figured out to put your lawn mover on top on the lego box and push it into the living room. I am really just amazed already at how smart you are and how you have figured out to do all these things.

I love that you are getting bigger and doing things on your own, but I am also sad at the same time. I am loosing the little baby you use to be, I miss being able to hold you all the time. But all the kisses and hugs you give me now all the time are priceless and I wouldn't trade them for the world. I love the way you laugh now and scream when you are happy. I love how excited you get to see something and how you run to get it. I love how you hide around the corners of the house and peek out at me and then hide back. I love it when I think that you are handing me something, just to have you pull it back, and you know that you are teasing me. You are such a happy little boy, there isn't two minutes that go by that I don't think there isn't a smile on your face. You love life and I love that about you. So it's okay that you are getting bigger, but just know that you will always be my little baby.
