The big 2.

Cannot believe it, but Judah is another year older. It is funny how even when it is happening before your eyes you still cannot believe it. It is going by so fast, just as you all said it would. He is changing so much, just as you all said he would. He definitely is getting even better with age. When I think he can't get any cuter he does. He definitely has his moments of non-cuteness but over all he is pretty much a love muffin. In just the past couple of days I feel like his personality has changed. He got a hair cut yesterday and it is like when she cut his hair he all the sudden felt free. Or maybe he just hit the terrible twos right on cue. He is not being terrible just crazy. Like just a little while ago before we put him to bed he was head banging and singing (as much as he can) "another one bites the dust". He is definitely Dave's child. Anyways this year with him has been fabulous. When I think I can't love him anymore I do. He has taught us a lot, and hopefully we have taught him a thing or two. He really is for the most part a very sweet, tenderhearted kid and I am so thankful I get to be his mommy. By the way he stopped calling me mama and is calling me mommy. Don't like that one bit. Some of the things he learned or memorable moments of the year were... Starting to ask questions and answering our questions, laughing at silly things, becoming a major trickster, learning to play alone, learning every ones names and repeating them constantly, saying little prayers, singing and dancing to music, saying I love you, giving hugs and kisses.

Here are some of the festivities from his birthday...

Went and saw Santa

Spent time with Daddy

Had a little party with the family

Some of the guest

Got lots of awesome gifts from everyone

This is him before the haircut.

I guess he always had a little crazy in him!

Sweet Judah

I pray for you

everyday

that you will grow

into a man that loves

the Lord

and seeks His will

That in trials and tribulations

you will always turn to Him

That you will be kind, strong,

and show grace to all those around you

That God will give us wisdom in guiding you

That you will always feel loved

and always know that we are here

for you

Love you like crazy,

Mommy and Daddy
