Happy 2nd Birthday, Big Boy! Mommy and Daddy love you more than you will ever know. These have been the best and happiest years of our lives. You changed our lives in a way we cannot put into words. We love being a family with you. Every single day you make us laugh, you make us proud, you challenge us, and you make us want to be better people/parents/spouses. You truly are such an awesome kid; you are so happy, so lively, so silly, and so smart. We hope you always carry your sense of wonder and adventure and that nothing ever dulls that bright smile and happy laugh that you have. Two is going to be a big year, and even though you will become a big brother soon, you will always be our first baby. We love you so so so much, buddy!!!
Last night I was actually kind of emotional saying goodnight to my little 1 year old, knowing that today he would wake up and be a 2 year old. How does it happen so fast?!? It's so bittersweet; there is nothing that I love more than watching him grow, learn, and turn into such a cool little kid... but then, sometimes, I look back at pictures and feel like I blinked and would give anything to hold my squishy little baby again. I'm so proud and happy to be his mom. This kid is only 2... but has a BIG personality!
Last night he took his last picture as a 1 year old.
This morning he woke up to a cool surprise present. (Dad gets the credit for thinking of this one!)
He absolutely loved it!! But it's going to have to be a special thing that we only do occasionally because it takes up a lot of space! Most days Tony leaves early in the morning, but it just so happened that his car needed to have some work done, so we all 3 got to hang out, have breakfast, and enjoy the first part of the day together!
We were supposed to have family Christmas pictures on Sunday so I bought him a big 2 balloon... but the weather got bad and we had to reschedule. (Boo-hoo.) My mom even drove all the way here to Norman to go with us and help make Elliott laugh in our family pictures! So we took him to campus in hopes of getting a picture with his balloon before it deflated and was a total waste of $15.... but adventurous little E had other plans. He simply will not pose for pictures... he'd rather run, explore, play with leaves, or do anything else. Oh well, at least we got some cute pictures, even if the balloon didn't make the shots. Luckily, the balloon still had some air yesterday morning so I took him down the street to the wooden bridge (see pic above) and snapped a quick picture.
