Happy Second Birthday!

My dearest little boy turns two today! TWO! He is no longer a baby, but instead a little boy.
Twenty-four months ago we welcomed this baby into our lives with great joy, and he has changed our lives in every way imaginable.


So in honour of my favourite little boy here is a picture look-back at his life until now:

Gigantic belly!


Daddy finally holding me!
In Mommy's arms!

We are in love!

Hanging out in my bouncy chair!
Griffin with his cousins! He still loves them!
The love affair with curling began young!
On his first birthday.
18 Months old

These days are busy days, as Griffin grows and changes every day. So what is Griffin doing these days, well if you ask him he "plays with girls" all day (his daycare has three girls and him in it). What does he want to do ALL THE TIME: CURLING! He will take it anyway he can get it, with his broom and inflatable rocks on the kitchen floor, on the table game I scored at the thrift shop, at the rink (his first choice), he will even ask to watch it on TV. He is a curling fanatic; his daddy is so proud!

Don't worry, besides girls and curling he has a bunch of other interests that keep him busy... drawing/colouring, jumping, swimming, playing with cars, cooking, play doh, doing dishes, wrestling with daddy, reading books, and generally playing around. His vocabulary grows leaps and bounds every week, and he talks a lot these days. It is so nice to have an idea of what he wants rather than just guessing. He is slowly learning is ABC's and is counting to ten pretty consistently! Shapes, animals, and colours are old hat now. He is polite and often says please and thank you without being prompted. He has books memorized and uses the pictures to help him "read" stories to me. His daycare is great at education and he is doing awesome with his prewriting skills when tracing over lines and shapes. The most recent (and maybe most awesome) development is the move to his big boy bed. He now falls asleep in his bed, sleeps until 2-4 am and then comes to cuddle with mommy and daddy. We will take the it!

Griffin, I am so proud of the little man you have grown into. You are kind, loving, and smart. You enjoy life every day, and brighten our lives with you giggles. You ask to be tickled, and laugh with delight when we chase you around the house to kiss you. You share with others without much prompting from us. You are such a sweet boy!

LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say that you've done
a great job with this. Also, the blog loads super fast for me on Safari.
Outstanding Blog!
