In just three more days (almost two since it's close to midnight while I'm writing this) Tyler will turn 2. I'm not sure where the last two years have gone. I was recently looking back at my first few blog posts and it seems so long ago. Some of the posts I don't even remember! I must be getting old and forgetting my memory already. Or maybe it was the fact that I was feeding every couple of hours and didn't sleep for more than 3 hours at a time, right?
So it is Monday night before he turns two. I can't help but think back on these last two years. In the last few weeks it seems as though he has become such a big boy. He's saying things like "thanks Mom" and "I love you" and "carry me please" and "I want to go." He has four, yes FOUR, baby dolls now that must go just about every where with us. One is new and still doesn't have a name, but each morning I'm greeted by a "Hi Mom" in the sweetest voice, followed by a barrage of babies flying over the crib and loud giggles as it is happening. We then line those babies up on the changing table. I get my morning hug and kiss and then it's to the diaper change. The day continues with the babies going everywhere...up stairs, down stairs, in the car, outside, on the walk. He just loves those little babies so much. I know someday he'll make a great big brother!
I'm just amazed at all of the changes. As these last few days of him being a one year old wind down, I'm reminded how blessed we are to have such a beautiful, healthy (minus the gazillion ear infections...we are one number 5 - I think - right now) boy we have!
