Our little Cole is growing up. I still can't believe we have ourselves a two year old.
I know it sounds cliche but it truly feels like we met our little man yesterday. I had my 24 week check up on the day of his birthday and it was a walk down memory lane heading to the hospital and meeting with the Dr. who preformed my unexpected c-section to bring my 10 lb baby boy into this world exactly two years.
I don't know what our family would be like without our Coleson. He is just such an incredible joy. He is the sweetest, happiest, smiliest little boy, yet he has a mischievous streak that you can see in his eyes. He loves to tell jokes and thinks he is oh so funny if he can get someone to laugh. He is so brave and as a result he pushes his more conservative, cautious big brother to adventure out a little bit more. He is very active and physical yet he still loves to snuggle and will just tuck himself right into you when he needs a break. He has very clear opinions and can give you a killer glare if he does not get his way but is very quick to recover and soon responds with "I'm happy now!" He talks up a storm and it is sometimes hard to believe that so many words, expressions and thoughts can be communicated so clearly. He currently loves his alphabet. You will often hear him singing his ABC's. He knows all the letters and their phonetic sounds and is constantly on the hunt for letters around the house. He adores Sam and wants to do just about anything he does and we truly think he is convinced he is the same age as his brother. When Cole smiles his whole face just lights up and it can just melt your heart. Sometimes when he plays he will just look up, flash his amazing smile, say 'hi' and carry on with what he is doing. He is just so sweet!
God truly gave us the perfect boy who just fit in beautifully with our family and I can't imagine it any other way. We are truly blessed.
On Friday we enjoyed a quiet celebration with our new two year old. We opted to avoid a party as in a couple weeks we will be in Orlando with all our family and as Sam's birthday will be during our trip, we will just have a combined party for the boys (and for Grandma who is turning 95!). However, as we didn't want to haul Sam's birthday presents out east we included him in the 'party' too as he got to open his presents and blow out his very own candles on Cole's cake as we sang "happy soon birthday" to him. The next morning the boys were surprised by Grandpa and Oma who arrived after they were in bed the night before and the cake eating and present opening continued!
Here are a few pictures! Enjoy!
