Two Years!

My sweet love,

We have made it ANOTHER year! I am overfilled with joy that my little baby is 2 years old! This past year passed by quicker than I anticipated and it was a whirlwind of a year! You have changed and grown so much that I can't even comprehend. This time last year you had just started toddling around, but wasn't confident walking yet, and now you are running and jumping with charisma and glee! You are talking more everyday and showing compassion and affection to others around you. You have such a sweet and well tempered spirit and you truly bring me the most satisfying joy, contentment and pride that you are my baby, my son, my little boy! I can't even express how proud of you I am! You are truly a miracle and a blessing and I love you so much! When I look at you, you consistently remind me of what I have to be thankful for and how lucky I am to have you! I look forward to the next year and what it will bring!

Rykken helped water the dirt... lawn today in the backyard. I turned around to find that he had slipped in the mud.

So being the good mom I am, I rushed to grab my camera instead of rushing to his rescue.

He gave me the classic Smyer glare when I asked him to smile for a picture.
