Happy 2nd Birthday, Brady

Dear Brady,

You are now two years old, a full-fledged toddler. I have no idea where the time goes, but it seems to be moving so fast right now. You really are the sweetest little boy and you have such a big personality. You smile and laugh all the time. You're full of sunshine and I love who you're becoming.

Sometimes I'd like to turn back time for a day, but it's so exciting to see you at this stage. You surprise us every day with something new you can do, say or understand. You also have quite the sense of humor and are always making everyone around you laugh. One of my favorite things is earing you laugh and I love when you laugh at something you have seen on t.v. Sometimes I would love to get inside your head.

Unlike your big brother, you love to participate in group activities. At school or the library story time you will get up and dance and sing and do all the movements to any given song. You love the rocket ship song and "Old McDonald." You have a love for animals and enjoy putting different animals on the farm, including cheetahs and impalas.

You love your nanny, Megan, and light up every time she comes over. You also love playing with Avery and talk about Megan and Avery, even on the weekends.

You also love your brother and he adores you. He often calls you "My Brady." You two play together well and you love to mimic everything he does. But there are many times where you are beating each other up.

You are beginning to talk all the time and it is fun to hear what you have to say.

You also have a stubborn side. When you are not getting your way at the dinner table you will hit someone just so you can get down and go into timeout.

You are a great eater and a great sleeper. We are beginning to work on potty training and will soon move you to a big boy bed in anticipation of your little sister's arrival.

Brady, you are an absolute joy and angel and we all love you so much. I cannot wait to see what this next year will bring, how you will grow and your personality will develop. And, I can't wait to see what a great big brother you will be!

Happy birthday my sweet boy!
