Wow Doodlebug you're turning 2 tomorrow......

How bittersweet this feeling is. Just yesterday I was in the hospital scared out of my mind and worried that you would be ok being that you decided to arrive 6 weeks early. Now you are turning 2 years old. You are Mommy's little man. I love and dislike the independence you exhibit and the perseverance you demonstrate on a daily basis. We butt head like never before. I understand you are testing the waters and showing Mommy that this is the way you would like to do it but there are times when I really wish you would just take it from me and do as I say. On the flip side of that coin, I love to sit back and watch you go through these trials and tribulations. You have shown me that you can do things on your own, you'll be ok even if you do get hurt, and things don't always have to be done Mommy's way.

You are putting sentences together like never before! You amaze me almost every time you open your mouth because it's always something new and off of the wall. I still need to translate for you to certain people, but for the most part......people get it.

You are starting to dig this whole baby thing. You tall me "baby in here too" and point to my belly button, you try and feed your breakfast to the baby through my belly button and now you've started to kiss my belly and give the baby snuggles. I doubt this will continue when the crying, whining, pooping, eating machine we call Derek gets here, but for now it's adorable.

We are having a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party for you this weekend and your friends from across the street are coming by as well as other friends and family. I've decided to rent you a jumper, I thought I would get you tuckered out as well as make it fun for you. I love you Doodie......Mommy's sweet/devilish baby boy.
