Matthew Turns 2

l


I can't believe that my baby is 2! He has become completely fascinated with tractors and calls out all the tractors he sees as we are driving. So I made him a tractor birthday cake. When he saw it he said, "TRACTOR!" Success, he knew what it was suppose to be. He has grown up so fast. I can't believe all the things he can do. I really think that this was some cruel joke, I was just holding him as a new born in my arms enjoying every moment. Now I am enjoying almost every moment of him being two. He runs around saying, "NO NO!" One Sunday he saw Dad walking to the van and said, "There's Joe." Funny boy! As I mentioned he loves tractors, he loves his brothers, he loves the water, and he loves the dog. He can push a stool up to get stuff out of the cupboard and on more then one occasion has snagged spice jar and sprinkled it all over my kitchen and living room. The week after he turned two he got out the extra frosting from the fridge and smeared it on the carpets I had just cleaned, not to worry surprisingly chocolate frosting does come out of the carpet. When Joe gets home from work he often runs to the back door and says, "Swing! Swing! Outside, Swing!" He loves to be pushed on a swing. He the most perfect laugh that makes everyone else around him smile and laugh, letting him get away with murder because he smiles and laughs when he is naughty, making it very hard for Mom and Dad to be serious with him.

We love having Matthew as part of our family! He brings rays of sunshine to our family!
