Camden James,
Happy 2nd birthday! I cannot believe another year has gone by! You are such an incredible little guy and I am so thankful God has entrusted you to Daddy and me. You have gone from a baby to a little boy in the last year, from crawling to walking and running, from babbling to short sentences. I love watching you grow, change, and learn. You have caused me to see the world differently through your eyes--the things that I would normally overlook are now fascinating and new. You are hilarious, smart, helpful, independent, curious, stubborn, determined, loving, sweet, and so much more! You love music (listening, playing, and singing), the park, bubbles, books, tractors, cranes, trucks, rocks, tigers, babies, drawing, Sesame Street (the characters, not the show...you've never seen the show), puzzles, balls, stickers, Play-Doh, climbing, balloons, wrestling with Daddy, running around with only your hooded towel on after the bath, and story time at the library...just to name a few. You know a lot of colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, white, black and sometimes grey). You make Daddy and me laugh daily and warm our hearts with your hugs, kisses, and "nuv you." You call yourself "Cambo" and say "two" when someone asks, "How old are you?" while holding up one finger on each hand. You count, "Two, five, two" and every once in a while "free" ends up in there. You are obsessed with guitars and had a guitar theme birthday party this year. You especially like the color orange lately. I have an athlete on my hands--you can kick a soccer ball into your little goal, hit a golf ball with your set of clubs, shoot hoops, throw a football, and hit your inflated baseball when someone pitches it to you. You cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze, randomly bust out in song and dance, and do a funny fake laugh. You have added so much to my life. You are an incredible gift from God. Camden, I love you with all my heart. Happy birthday, sweet boy.
Hugs and kisses,
Mommy
