Monthly Archives - Jasper Month 24

hello buddy,

you are 2! 2!! i can't believe we made it. seriously. all your weird eating hangups made me feel like you were going to be 1 forever. but now i think we can start fresh and pretty soon you'll be eating burgers like the rest of us. you ate the frosting off of your cupcake, for crying out loud, that's a pretty good start, i'd say.

baby boy, you have grown and changed immensely in just the past couple of weeks. you are talking so much more and understanding so much more and we can actually communicate with you on a more "human" level now, it's so great. yesterday you even said words. on the phone. i was talking to papa and i held the phone to your ear and you said "papa!" and then you said "bye bye". i think you made papa's day. i'm not positive, but i'm pretty sure.

it's just amazing how much can happen in a few weeks. in a few short months.

holy cow, big man, you are growing so fast! which is amazing since you eat like a little bird. but i don't need to dwell on that today because today is your birthday the day after your birthday!

anyway, i just wanted to tell you (again) how much i love you, how proud you make me and how much joy you bring to my life every day. i can't wait to see what this next year brings, because based on how your little personality is unfolding it is going to be full of humor, goofiness, patience-testing and...potty training. that's next, big boy. brace yourself.

i love you, buckaroo. or, as you would say, "i yuvyou",

love, mommy
