Jack is TWO!

Dear Jack,
Two years ago today, I got the best job ever. It just doesn't seem possible that I've been your Mommy for two whole years! Witnessing you become such a smart, hilarious, independent little boy has been an incredible journey. You are such a little sponge...even when you don't seem like you're listening, you are. You are just taking it all in. Over the past couple of weeks, you've started to count.... I even heard you practicing in your crib the other day (one, free, four, nine, twelve). And today before your nap, we sang the alphabet song (twice) and you sang right along with me even the last part (next time won't you sing with me).  You say my favorite part of the song (L M N O P) like this, "L M N Poopy." At the end of every song we sing you always clap your hands and say, "Yay!" You are always surprising Daddy and me with all of the words you know... Like how you say "coffee" every time we pass a dunkin donuts! Sometimes, you let Mommy and Daddy sleep in until 8:30 on Saturday mornings because you are so content just playing in your crib. You always let us know when you're ready to see us though. And it's just about the sweetest sound in the world when I go into your room and you say, "hi mommy!"

I am so lucky to be your mom and I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.  Happy Birthday baby boy!  I love you.

-Your Mom
