My baby boy is 2!

Cannon turned two last night at 10:30 pm. We didn't do anything special or exciting unless you count 9 hours in the car coming home from vacation as special. He had his b-day party last week so at least he got to experience that excitement. But we sang Happy Birthday to him numerous amounts of times told everyone when we stopped along the way it was his birthday. Something magical happened to him yesterday. I can't quite put my finger on it. Is it that when I tell people his age now I don't have to think of months I can just say 2. Is it that he will be in the toddler class at school in a few weeks where they work on potty training? (Cannon is afraid of the potty so if they can get him to sit on a potty they are true miracle workers~I have no expectations for this to happen!) Is it that his speech although still slow to come is getting better? He said about 3-4 new things yesterday that he had never said before. The most favorite was "Hold me!" which sounded like "old ma!" But we knew what he meant. He signed Thank you and please consistently yesterday without prompting. So yeah I guess turning two is a huge deal in our house.

5 months old


Cannon's first birthday. He loved his cupcake and icing. He would dip his thumb in the icing and then put it in his mouth. It made sucking his thumb all the more cute.


January 2007 while getting the nursery ready for Mason, Cannon loved helping. He played in that box for days!!! He finally started walking at 15-16 months!!! YAHOOOO!!!!


My big 2 year old! He was such a dare devil at times while swimming. He would actually go on the 2nd step and get really giddy like he has just conquered the world.

I love you Cannon more today than yesterday. You are so special and make my heart melt when you look at me with your beautiful blue eyes. Don't grow up too fast okay buddy. You may not remember but you promised me in the hospital on the day you were born that you would be my little boy forever.

WOW....I can't believe that the boy is 2 years old! He is such a loving and sweet little boy. He reminds me so much of Tyler. I love him more than words could ever express. ~;-)
