I'M TWO!

I can't believe my first little boy is TWO!  It feels like it was just yesterday that I found out he was breech and would need a c-section the next week.  He has filled our lives with so much joy and given more meaning to our lives than I ever thought imaginable.  He has taught me so much about myself and opened the door to a different side of myself I never knew existed.  Being his (and Dylan's) mom is the greatest thing I could ever do with my life!  I feel blessed each and every day by his smile and sweet kind soul.

Owen.... you are lively, energetic, kind, caring, sweet, polite, sometimes cautious, inquisitive, smart, and most importantly, you are the BEST big brother.  You love cars, trains, animals (especially horses), and one of my favorites, you love to learn!  I have so much fun teaching you.  When you learn something new you just take off with it.  You love naming all the different things you see outside the car windows while we are driving.  It is one of my favorite things we do - name all the different objects and colors you see.  You love to watch older kids play and make new friends.  You like to share with your friends, and sometimes share with your brother.  You have shown so much love towards your brother.  The love you have shown others makes me more proud of you than anything else in the world. 

You like things in order.  You lined up all the blocks in a straight line.

You love BUBBLES!

Having a snack in the play house!

On the big boy swing.
Are you really this big?!?

Having a snack at your new picnic table on the deck!

Taking a break from water play with your best bud.

Oh, you know, just planking.  You're idea.

Enjoying your first soccer class with Daddy!

You had to pick up all the cones after they were kicked down... Yup, things have to be just right!
(I know, I know, sounds just like me.  ;)

Practicing kicking those cones!

You sat completely still for your entire hair cut!
I can't believe you knew exactly what to do!

Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet boy!

We love you!
