2 years old.

There is so much I want to write, but cant find the words.

I think I am in denial that I am the Momma of a 2 year old.

I am AMAZED at how much our lives have changed for the BETTER since the arrival of our baby boy 2 years ago.

He is so much fun and such a blessing in our lives and those lives that he comes in contact with.

He is absolute pure joy.

Happy 2nd Birthday to our sweet sweet first born, Elias Knight.

Momma and Dada love you SO VERY MUCH!

School Xmas Party

27 weeks

27 week appt for 2.0...everything looked great. 2.0 had a heart beat in the 140s and is growing right where he should be. I gained a pound, which brings grand total to 4lbs with this pregnancy. A lot less than with Elias. I havent been able to eat much or in large amounts. With the heartburn I have had, I would swear that I am carrying a furry gremlin. :) I had my glucose test and passed. YAY for no gestational diabetes. Scheduled 30 week ultra sound and am super excited to see that sweet sweet face :) We are almost to the 3rd trimester! yay!

In case you were interested...2.0 at 25-28 weeks (or month 6)

He is the size of an Eggplant

Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.

TWO!!! Birthday Party SuperHero Style

For E's 2nd birthday we went in together with his BFF, Will who turned two 2 weeks before him. The theme: SUPERHERO. It was AWESOME. Every little detail was soooo cute and it was a lot of fun bouncing ideas back and forth with Alison to come up with the perfect party for our boys :)

The INVITE...

can we say AWEEESSSOOOOME?!?! I cant say enough about how great this invite turned out. One of our very best friends bro did it and he did AMAZING. Thank you oh so much, Chris!

The Birthday Banner...

Alisons cousin, Lauren made this. She did such a good job and it was so creative. It was definitely what we had in mind to go along with everything else for the party. Thank you so much Lauren :)

close ups take two.

The Outfits...

We had the reversible capes made from an Etsy site called Pip and Bean, and then Alison and I each made the Emblems for their shirts. We were both really pleased with how they turned out.

The BIRTHDAY BOYS...

Captain Elias

Wonder Will

The boys and their SuperHero friends, their BFF's, also more affectionately know as the... Stroller Mafia

The Outfit Change...

A local printing place printed these up for us. They wore these during their cake festivities.

Will dove in face first without a second thought...even double fisting at times...

Elias was a little more reserved and eventually asked for a fork. Ha. He is not a fan of having things on his hands.

Make a Wish, baby boy.

Build-A-Bear (Puppy)

Sweet Boys

I love my boys.

The bond that Elias and his Dada have is amazing and oh so sweet.

One of my favorite things is to listen/watch bedtime story time.

They giggles are absolutely adorable and melt my heart each and every time. I can't wait to see what our little 2.0 will add to the cuteness :)

Santa Claus

Elias and Addie had a little visit with Santa Claus. He was visiting the local Bass Pro Shop, so we took them to have their picture made.

They LOVED Santa :)

Merry Christmas from Alabama
