Happy 2nd Birthday, Drew Poe!

Well, it's finally here...our baby is 2 years old! I can't believe it. It seems like yesterday that we were leaving for the hospital to have him. At 7:58am our 8lbs, 13 oz baby was born. He was so little and adorable. His little fingers and toes and his fuzzy blonde hair. Brian was such a proud daddy and did really great taking care of him alone the first day when I couldn't get out of bed. That was the most amazing day of our lives. And now he's talking and laughing and running and jumping. It's crazy! He requested a trip to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday dinner, so we're headed there after work. He's so excited about his birthday parties this weekend. I will post about your stats tomorrow after your doctor's appt, but today I just want to talk about you.

You are such a good snuggler. You will crawl up in our laps and say "Nuggle, Mommy" it's adorable!

You love to run and jump and dribble the basketball. You are all boy...you are very independent and say "I do it" about everything.

You always want to pray before dinner and before bed...it's so cute, you aren't satisfied with one prayer.

You love your cousins and think the older three are so cool and you are so good with Caroline...you will be a good big brother some day.

You love Belle so much...you kiss her goodnight and talk to her and read her books...she's pretty crazy about you too.

You love to read books. We will find you sitting behind your rocking chair in a pile of books and you are happy to stay there by yourself for about 30 minutes.

You love animals...you love to tell us what each animal is and how it "goes"

You have a very good memory and can replay conversations from a few days ago.

You counted to 10 last night by yourself...well mostly, you get hung up on 6 and 7.

You know your colors even though you don't always get them right.

You know everyone's first and last names (us, people in your class, some of your friends), in fact yesterday you wanted Daddy and you started yelling "Brian, Brian Poe". I guess you've heard me do that.

You love the Backyardigans, Elmo, Mickey and Minnie, and Tigger and Pooh. You love to sit on the couch with cereal and milk on Saturday mornings and watch cartoons.

You LOVE the park...love to swing, slide, climb the ladders.

You are the absolute greatest thing that has happened to me and Daddy. We love every second with you...even the ones where you throw fits for no reason. You are so beautiful, sweet, kind-hearted, funny, strong, independent...perfect. We love you so much baby boy!

Happy Birthday Drew!!! Wow, its hard to believe that he is that old already. I won't forget when you guys brought him to the clinic after he was born and he was wearing those adorable little boy jeans already. Such a cutie!
Hope you had lots of fun at C-E-C's. Sounds like a great time. Be sure to post pics of the event.
