Second Birthday!

The cake!

Being sung "Happy Birthday" to; the expression is so adorable!

Enjoying cookies with Daddy!
Our little one turned 2 on December 12! He now weighs 29 lbs, and is 36.25 inches tall. He seems to be very outgoing, but loves to act shy when someone speaks to him. He waves at people going by , saying "bye bye." It is funny watching him mimic things he sees us do (the good and funny stuff, that is). He loves to explore the yard. He used to love pushing around anything on wheels; he has now learned to ride on his tricycles. The next step is pedaling (when he can reach them). He enjoys watching Veggie Tales, helping mommy wash dishes, chasing the cats, eating sweets, playing with his cars, building buildings with his mega blocks, and pretending to drive. Every time we get him out of his car seat, he wants to sit in the drivers seat and "drive." He enjoys playing with the canes and walkers of a couple of people at church. We have to watch him with the cane, as he loves to swing it in the air. He does well during the meetings at church, usually napping during one of the meetings. We love our precious boy, and enjoy watching him grow. Although things are getting scarier in the world, it is comforting to know God is in control and is watching over us even when we are not aware of it. We look forward to seeing what God has planned for him.

Bonding with uncles

While visiting Daryl's family during Thanksgiving, Little Daryl bacame attached to Uncle Stephen (or at least his cell phone).
