Because of You

Because of you, I felt overwhelmed and fearful (and quite nauseous) every day for nine months.

But because of you, I have laughed more, loved more and felt more joy in the past two years than I ever could have imagined.

Happy Birthday, my sweet little two year old. Everything has changed because of you, and I can’t imagine it any other way.

{A look at the second year of your life… And one of the only times I will allow auto-music on the blog.}

Thanks! I don’t really expect anyone other than family to be entertained by it– I just have fun making them. :)

They really do change our lives, so much! He is precious… My own boys are tall and smelly now, so I cherish other people’s two-year-olds!

My little guy just turned 2 – be aware (I know you’ve been there before) but he clicked into advanced toddler mode.

Enjoy. He is a cutie!

Super duper cute! I wish I was as fond of 2 year olds as some.
Frankly, I can stand to live my whole life without any more alone time with 2 year olds.
Wow…that really sounded bad coming from a mother of 4.

He is so adorable. I didn’t realize he was so close in age to my Bud. He seems like such a big boy. Ahhh. Sad moment. I wish time would move just a little bit slower.
