My Little Birthday Boy

Today, is Caden's second birthday. I feel so blessed to have this little guy in my life. I am so proud that he is my son. He's smart, outgoing, and fearless...on the most part! Yesterday, we went to a halloween store and he tensed up and buried his face into my neck when he saw some scary masks, but other than that he's much braver than most! I love the way his little face lights up when he sees me. It makes my day every time. He has such a sweet and good heart. I even love when he exercises his independence by throwing things (like his shoes...when he gets mad, he takes them off and throws them for some strange reason!!!) and yelling, "NO!," and running away from me to throw himself on the ground and cry. It always gives me a good laugh! I love that he loves getting his back rubbed before bed. He even likes rubbing mommy's back...he calls it a "back ssage." He is such a cuddler...when he wants to be. I even love when he stuffs as much food as he possibly can when he's eating. I have never seen another child stuff an entire half sandwich into his mouth like Caden. It reminds me of tv shows or movies when human's that are turned into aliens or monsters that stuff foot long subs into their mouths in one bite! Anyway, he has been such a joy in our lives. He makes me laugh everyday. I don't know how I got so lucky to have him and his brother in my life.
