Samuel turns 2!!

Life has been passing us by very quickly these days and so it wasn't a surprise that Samuel's 2nd birthday crept up on us! I honestly cannot believe that he is 2! It is such a joy and privilege to watch him grow. He is now more boy than baby which is hard to fathom at times.

Updates...
He loves Thomas the Train & Sesame Street. Each morning he asks to watch "Sesameeeee". He sleeps with Grover, Elmo & Cookie (or Cooshie) each night in addition to a giraffe, a tiger and lately an added moose. We often hear him saying things like "grrrr" through the monitor in the morning when he's talking to his animals.

He knows all 26 letters of the alphabet and numbers up to 10! He loves letters so much that he takes the "bath" letters with him nearly everywhere. They even made the trip to the doctor this morning. His favorite letter is "O" and his favorite color is red. The first word out of his mouth when we greet him in the morning is "red". This means he wants to wear a red shirt. Since not all of his shirts are red, we have to persuade him that orange or yellow or blue are just as fun. As long as there is some sort of animal on the shirt, he agrees more easily.

He is picky eater which presents some challenges but then again, you have to look at who his mom and dad are. Ben & I are both picky eaters so it just makes sense.

We took him to his 2 yr doctor appt today and is very healthy. We are so thankful! He now weighs 27 lbs, 12 oz & is 33.3 inches tall.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAMUEL!!
