2 Years old

Hayden turned 2 years old on Saturday June 19, this is how he has changed.

Ever since he learned how to move he hasn't stopped and I don't think he is slowing down any time soon. With him being mischievous and me being forgetful were not always a good blend. Like when I forget to put the lotions and creams up high where he can’t get them, or when I don’t get the pantry door closed all the way. With Hayden running up the stairs to get the laundry ready can mean very colorful walls when I come down or going into the garage can mean the house is soaked from the sprayer on the sink (and I mean SOAKED). I am quickly learning that with him there is no quick minute to get something done unless he is napping. However no kid can laugh like him, he has quite a variety. When he laughs with pure joy it brings tears to my eyes almost every time. He talks all the time but I understand very little of what he says, such as fruit snacks that sounds just like the F word! He loves to read books with me before naps and bedtime and sometimes he will fall asleep in my arms and it feels like he is still my baby. It has been an amazing, exciting, frustrating, exhausting, and certainly not boring 2 years.

Here are some pictures from his birthday, We just had a fun family day, played with water and had a couple kids over to open presents.
 
He is my little ladies man, I love the look on his face. This is the cute table Chris built for him, I put Hayden and Jordyn's handprints in the corner and I love the way it turned out.
