Another week, another birthday

Trying out his new sleeping bag

 My little guy turned 2 this week!  I cannot believe it!  He quickly came into this world on a Saturday afternoon. Oh I can remember him as a newborn.  What a love bug!  He has brought our family so much joy.  He was a pretty mellow baby, although definitely a mama's boy, and he has turned into a crazy toddler.  Everyday he says more and communicates more.  Very often he knows what he wants and doesn't give up until he gets it.  Lately he has turned into quite the rascal.  It cracks me up. He has quickly figured out how to torment his sister and push her buttons.  It is funny to watch him copy her now too.  He has started fake crying (thanks, Montana) and saying "yewwww" when Aaron and I kiss (thanks, Montana).

Presents!

He is still so sweet.  I can hardly resist when he brings a book to me and shoves it in my face and says "read me" or when he grabs my hand and pulls me toward his toys and says, "play me". Melts my heart just thinking about it. He likes to sit on the counter and help me make breakfast.  There are days when I want to freeze him just as he is and other days I wish he was potty-trained.

His very own carrot cake

For his 2nd birthday we went to story time at the library.  He loves singing the songs and listening to the books. We had his friend Alec (and Alec's parents) over for an early dinner and cake.  It's so funny watching kids this age interact.  It usually takes Alec and Amos an hour or so to realize that the other one is there! Amos got legos and books and a sleeping bag for his birthday. We paused our moving, painting, and cleaning activities to celebrate our little guy.  We are so thankful for him and thrilled to have him in our lives.

We love you loads, Amos Pax!!
