My baby is Two
Last night as I was getting the little guy ready for bed, I told his brothers, “Well boys, get a good look at the one year old. When you see him in the morning he’ll be two.”
Everyone kissed him goodnight. I kissed him a few extra times because he smelled like baby lotion.
This morning I brought him out of his room and said, “Well here he is. He’s two today!”
Tato ran to greet him and said (with relief), “Oh good. He’s still cute.”
All day long, before every meal and after his nap we sang happy birthday to him. He was really digging all the singing.
I think we may start singing to him more often. Like, Happy Monday to you! Happy Thursday to you!
Seriously, the giggles we were getting were delicious.
We are having a family party for him tomorrow night, so today we celebrated by smothering him in kisses and I made his favorite meal for dinner…Cream of Wheat, or mush as we call it.
I did some two year old pictures this afternoon. I am including a few of my favorites.
Can I share with you what I love about this kid?
He is so cuddly and sweet.
He’s really funny. I think he picks up many of the goofy things he does from his brothers, but some of it is his own material and he makes me laugh everyday.
He gives unsolicited hugs and kisses.
He is the peace bringer in the family. Everyone adores him. If one of the other boys is hurt or angry, all the little guy has to do is walk up to them and say, “Tato sad?” or just give them hugs. It works everytime.
He loves music. He even tolerates my singing. But the coolest thing is that when I am having what I call a “house party” which is basically the stereo turned up really loud and me dancing (very badly) in my kitchen, he runs to join me. That boy has got some moves too.
Lastly, because he gives the best greetings when anyone arrives home after being gone for any length of time. Full of excitement and wonder like he just can’t believe we came back.
I will probably post pictures of his party tomorrow, but only if his cake turns out how it looks in my mind.
For now, enjoy this video footage of my littlest boy…

Thank Goodness! He “is” still cute! Those are some awesome pics Kelly. I sooooo need a new picture of Handsome.
Boy is he ever cute!!! I can’t believe he’s 2! I remember that baby with the furry ears!
He’s so cute!! And definitely not a baby anymore, 2-year-olds are little boys! Happy Birthday to him!
How precious was that. Yes, he’s still cute, in fact he’s an absolute doll. I’m sorry we didn’t get to sing to him, I want to try again tomorrow, especially if he likes it so much. LM
I still think about the Sunday about two weeks before he was born and he was sticking a foot into your lung so hard that you couldn’t breath. Even then you loved him, even when he was crushing your heart, lungs and digestive tract into your back, you loved him.
Precious. And Tate’s comment oh good he’s still cute…priceless. Happy Birthday Beck!
He is a cutie, he has grown up so much. I love his little eyes, they just twinke. Please tell him Happy Birthday from the Redds.
That was adorable, I think the clapping and “big cake” request was my favorite part. Happy Birthday, Beck!
I love the greetings he gives me when I come over too. He is so cute-
“mama does!!” That was precious. I know the twos are supposed to be terrible, but I loved them with both of my boys. Hope he had a great birthday!
