Lawson Turns 2

The little boy that has been growing up before our eyes turns 2 today.  Lawson has been my baby for the past two years, and as we get closer to adding another sibling it makes me realize how much he has grown up.  He is my stubborn little man, that has brought so much joy to our lives.

You were soo tiny.

• We go to the doctor in a week so don't have the official stats.
• He is our ornery child, with a very stubborn attitude
• LOVES football, especially the tackling part
• Idolizes his big brother and everything he does
• Likes to play "fight" with the Ninja Turtle weapons, calls himself Mikey every time no matter what the color or weapon of choice
• His favorite word is probably "NO"
• Lawson likes to color, especially with markers
• Has started to become very independent and likes to try to help out
• Sleeps in a big boy bed, taking random toys to bed with him each night
• Has mentioned the thought of going the bathroom on the toilet, but we haven't really worked for anymore than that
• Has a sweet side which brings out a cuddly little boy every now and then, moments I love
• Has a contagious laugh and smile :)
• Not real sure about becoming a big brother.  When we say he is going to be a big brother he just says, Bubba (Luke) the big brother, I'm the baby.  
• Loves chocolate milk, cookies, and marshmallows
• Enjoys taking a shower, almost more than a bath.  If he had it his way he would shut the door and kick us out.
• Has such a cute "cheese"face and likes to take pictures
• Says please, thank you, and sorry (sometimes prompted
• He is a very messy eater, a good eater, but very messy
• Has started asking us to sleep with him, I have been taking advantage of it and taking the extra cuddles

Happy 2nd Birthday Lawson!  We love you more than you will ever know.
