Caleb turns 2

Wait what?!?  I have a 2 year old?  When I look back at baby pictures and videos I barely remember him being that little.  I'm so glad we've taken so many pictures and videos so that we never forget.

What's he up to, you ask?  He's going to school five days a week and learning something new everyday.  We are truly blessed that he is able to attend the school that he is at.  He talks all the time and he's good at repeating anything anyone says.  He loves to sing his ABCs and he can count to 14.  I think it's because we have 14 stairs in our house and we count them whenever we go up and down them.  He is still all boy and on the go 24/7.  He loves cars, trucks, airplanes, firetrucks, police cars, ambulances, dump trucks, excavators, pretty much anything vehicle related.  Oh and he LOVES being outside!!  He wants to be outside every chance he can get.  If we see anyone while on a walk he's sure to say Hi to them.  It makes me smile!

He enjoys books.  His favorite book right now is 100 Bible stories 100 Bible songs.  He especially likes Peter in the Bible with Jesus coming in at a close second. We're working on Jesus being his favorite.  There's a picture of Peter waving to Jesus in the Bible and one night Caleb goes "Peter high-five" and then he high-fived the book.  So ever since then, every night he has to give Peter a high-five, Jesus a high-five, James a high-five and John a high-five.

He's getting really good at being Mr Polite.  Just today he brought his bowl to me in the kitchen and said "Thank you mommy".  Then the other day Dave sneezed and he said "Bless you Daddy". That just melts my heart!

Dear Caleb,
Happy 2nd Birthday!!  Mommy and Daddy have enjoyed these past 2 years more than you know.  You have brought so much joy to our life along with a love that we never knew we could have.  You are an amazing boy created by God and we know that you're going to do big things in your life.  You constantly make us laugh with your silly and bubbly personality.  Even though you can be stubborn at times we know that God created your personality perfect for YOU and for His plan for your life.  We love you so much!!  Each and every day is a blessing to be with you!  Again, Happy Birthday and were excited for so many more years to celebrate. Thank you for being you!  XOXO!!

Love,
Mommy and daddy
