Way Turns 2

My little crazy, strong-willed, funny, adorable Waylon Jay turned 2 years old yesterday. Waylon entered the world on April Fools day around 7 pm after only 6 hours of labor. He was the hairiest darkest little thing I'd ever seen, he's had us laughing since day one you could say. Everyone always says "where's the time go?" In the midst of some difficult stages it seems like they will never end, with kids there are times that they can bring out the worst in you when the catch you off gaurd with the a high pitched scream in the middle of a store or when they throw their plate of mashed potatoes off their tray or when they turn into a puddle of jello and flop on the floor and seem to way 50 pounds and you just want to walk away and pretend they're not yours. Despite all the moments you wonder why the Lord graciously blessed you with your little bundle of joy, he'll give you an infectious smile that completely melts your heart. I have to say, Waylon has been a challenge for me, but he has also brought such great joy. He still eats everything in sight, except pbj and most vegetables, and it never seems to be enough the little man is always hungry yet he's as skinny as a stick. Which leads to the fact that he never sits still. He's a little ball on energy, from first thing in the morning to wake up to him giving me cpr to wake me up followed by a "HI" when my eyes finally focus :-) He's off from there, a love for toys and outside he's always on the move. He's also turning into Mason's echo, it's quite funny. He repeats just about everything Mason says, and if you don't acknowledge his repeat of the question that was just asked, he'll ask it until you do. He's becoming quite the little character, he makes facial expression that makes us laugh until we cry, and is starting to talk up a storm. So yesterday he turned two, and as I though how fast we've gotten to two, I became very thankful for him. I can't imagine our lives with out that funny little boy.

We had a cake and ice cream social for him last night with some family and friends, we are so blessed with the people in our lives, who love us and care about us to come out and celebrate. He received so many nice things, and had so much fun! He has a new summer wardrobe which he was in need of, and a new pair of shoes, some books, a snuggie and a pillow pet. I made him a monkey cake since he's loving monkeys right now, it went well, Ed hung out with me Thursday and helped out a little while I made it, we had a really fun time with it. So, all in all the party was a success, we had a great time.

Happy Birthday Waylon boy, we look forward to many more!
