Our precious youngest Son turned 2 today. I am in complete and total denial. I feel like I just met him and he is already heading from the land of babies and toddlers into the land of little men. I am just not ready. I admit I am struggling with this birthday. At this point in our life Mark and I believe our family to be complete. So it suddenly caught me by surprise when I realized that this is it...there are no more babies in my house. I admit my heart broke just a little bit. I had such a short amount of time with the boys in "baby land" that it is a little hard to imagine that I will never have a baby again. But on to happier times:
This now little man is just amazing. He has come so far in the almost 6 months he has been with our family. His physical revealed that growing in inches and weight is not a priority for him (still itty bitty at only 22 lb 2 oz and 32 inches--We are single handedly keeping the Pediasure company in business), but he is definitely growing by leaps and bounds in personality. He has really come out of his shell in the last few weeks. He is starting to ask for things he wants, he has learned "mine" where he grabs something to him and tucks it into his chest (it is hard not to smile b/c it is so cute), and he has developed an ornery streak. I think he is going to end up being our stubborn one : ) Overall though it is just such a privilege to see him emerging from his shell. To see him trusting us more and more each day. We still have a long way to go. He had a lot of history before he came to us, but we are so so grateful to get a chance to walk with him in his life. To see his story unfold.
