Almost two

James, you'll be two years old in a couple of months so I wanted to write down a few things that are happening in your life right now.

You love to read, eat apples/avocado's/blueberries, play with friends, kick balls, go for walks and dance.

Favorite words: apple, truck, water, please, thank you, faster, no way

The things I love the most about you...

The way your smile lights up your face.
The sound of your footsteps as you run down the hall
Hearing you roar like a lion
The way you point to the places you'd like to go while I hold you
Hearing you sing and talk in your crib when you first wake up
The way you hold the corners of your blanket and rub them together for comfort
How you "share" your pacifier with your stuffed puppy when you leave the crib
The way you swim in the bathtub
How proud you are when you eat with a fork/spoon
The belly laugh I get when I tickle your sides
How you pretend to be a dog and crawl on all fours in the kitchen while I cook.. and want to be pet on the head.
The way you can point at your elbows, knee's, ear's, nose, mouth, chin, hair, eyes, bellybutton and toes.
The way you frantically pull of your socks when we read three little pigs, so I can pull on your toes while singing the nursery rhyme.
How you tell me "No Way!" when I ask you to do something you don't want to.
How your second toe on each foot is too crowded for your fat little foot and has to sit slightly above the rest.
The noise you make when you want to play trains "choo choo" or hear an ambulance "we -o, we-o, we-o
The unprompted hug I'll get when I least expect it
..and best of all, the way you pull on your dads hand in the evening to go downstairs and play trains, just the two of you.

We love you more than you know-
