Happy Birthday Shane!!!


My baby is 2 today!  Where does the time go?  This time last year I was walking around with him everywhere holding onto the tip of his finger.  Now he is running and talking up a storm.  He has truly been a delight and I think Heavenly Father sent us just the right little boy for this crazy time in our lives!
At 2 years old Shane:

-Eats 3 packets of oatmeal every morning for breakfast, hearty portions of whatever we're having for dinner, and not a whole lot in between.
-Is pretty shy around most people, until he is around you more often and then he cannot help but give you unsolicited hugs and cuddles every few minutes.
-Is into Cars, Elmo, any book, puzzles, animals, colors, shapes, and construction vehicles.
-LOVES his friends and is happiest when he's around them.  He is very tender-hearted and almost always gives up his toys without a fight if one of them wants what he is playing with.  And they are good to put up with a lot of love from him :)
-Is very meticulous and spends a lot of time arranging things a certain way or putting them inside some crevice or space, and gets very frustrated if they don't fit just the way he wants them to.
-Would usually rather play with mom than by himself.
-Is a very good boy and always wants to please us.  When he realizes he has done something naughty, he will usually say "Sorry!" without me even telling him to.
-Still hates when I try to get him to feed himself with a spoon.
-Is a very avid listener and will soak things in for awhile then all the sudden one day it will all come spitting out and you think, "wow, he really was paying attention."
-Will come up behind me when I'm doing something to give me a hug, and will often say, "Love hugs!"  Pretty much he melts my heart on a daily basis.

We love you Shane!!!  Happy birthday!

Can't believe he's already two! Such a cutie! This time seems to have flown. It feels like yesterday we were at Riverview together and now you're already leaving Dominica.
