Happy Birthday L!!

Yes I know this is a boogery picture...but its soo cute :)

My sweet little boy is 2 today. I swear it was just yesterday that he was stuffing his face with chocolate cake on his 1st birthday and now it is happening all over again.

He is such a sweet boy and we feel so blessed to have him in our family. To commemorate the day of his birth we watched his birth video. We all loved it but L was pretty freaked out by the noises I was making, so we had to fast forward to the baby part which he loved. His birth was a pivotal moment in my life as a woman. After I had him I finally felt like a real grown up mom.

L is such a sweet little mama's boy. He is always very concerned when things aren't just right and loves to help out, whether its cooking or doing laundry he's on it. (just like his uncle Hyrum, who is his twin)

L isn't much of a talker like his sister was at this age, but some of the things that he's learned to say in the past few months and a few that he started saying today are:

bike
mama back
fire truck- gaa guck
fax machine
chicken - kitta kkk
peanut butter - butta brr
get off the computer mama
lock
no
more (today he just started saying more like "mo r" instead of ma)
apple -abm
abby -abm
train
constantinople

anyway, there are lots more...I swear he talks. And for everyone without kids, no he's not daft, he's still learning.

Some of the things he's learned to do this year:

Walk
sleep on his own....yay!
the dishes
play by himself
go to nursery. by himself...yay!
take fish oil
make a sandwich
turn the blender on when mama's not looking
hail a cab

Wow my kid is so smart. (and if you think I'm kidding...I'm not)


He loves to cuddle with his mama and go ni nites....(yes he is still doing ni nites, don't judge us because we both love it still) He always runs to his dadack when he gets hurt and anytime an injustice is done to his sister he lets us know about it.

When I was pregnant we didn't find out what we were having but we were sure that it was a girl. We felt it and KNEW it. So when the moment came to find out we just had a good laugh... I never thought I'd get used to a boy, but now I want 5 more. OK maybe 3 more.

We love you L and are so glad you are in our family!
