2 Years Old...

My son is 2!!! How can this be??? It's so overwhelming to me to think about how much my little boy has grown and changed and continues to change from the time he was out of the womb. Yes, Yes, he is probably THE ONRIEST boy you will ever meet...but he is precious to me, even though he is a tough one to handle at times.

After all that I went through during my pregnancy, it was so worth it to finally see my little man we call Samuel. He is so amazing to me. He was so little, 7 lbs, 14 oz. and 21 inches long. I had a C-Section, and it didn't really go well, but, all I knew was that something had been removed from my stomach because I could breathe again and then I heard the sweet, sweet cry of my baby. And I asked if that was Samuel. And everyone all around us kept saying Congratulations, you have a beautiful baby boy. He had such Blonde hair and blue eyes. He was just so little and so helpless...I felt so needed at that moment.

Samuel didn't really make the normal "milestones" like his friends did, well at the times the "Books" say he would. He didn't crawl or walk when he was "supposed" to and I was so worried and a little bit frustrated about the whole thing. He finally began crawling, and was in to everything...so I thought. Then he began walking, after his first birthday and then he was TRULY in to everything! We can't stop him from getting into everything! HA!

While Sam and I were gone Mark cleaned out Sam's room. Sam finally has his own space. It's just so amazing. I love his little room, and I really think he loves it, too. I'm so excited for this milestone of his, to gain more independence and spend more time in his own room. This kid LOVES books! He just will sit for at least 20 minutes at a time and flip through pages of books. He also LOVES when we read to him. He especially LOVES the Dr. Seuss books. This is just so exciting to me because neither Mark nor I love books. I will read them on occasion, but I can't just sit and read because in my mind, there is just to much else to do...but, Sam loves to just sit and flip through books. Yes, this may change, but for now, I'm going to bask in the knowledge that my son loves books.

He also LOVES trains. He loves playing with them and loves watching Thomas the Train on PBS Sprout On Demand. He is a true boy, that's for sure! He loves to jump, and climb and rough house!

I'm In Love with this little boy that Mark and I named Samuel Allen Moore! He truly Amazes me Daily! I never thought this love would get any stronger from the moment he was born, but it definitely has and I'm so very blessed that God put this little boy in our lives. He's precious!

Be Blessed!
