jacks second birthday!
he has no idea what that means yet, except that eveyone is yelling loudly in his direction while smiling. ha ha
my baby is two. no way.
two years ago at six something this morning, i was pushing out a little red faced, batman-symboled baby boy. now he is two and can speak for himself, and feed himself, and definitely has his own opinions.
i feel like it is my second birthday too. i feel like i have grown up considerably in the last two years. my life has changed pretty dramatically, in the most beautiful and unexpected ways. life is rarely what we plan, but then again, where would be the fun in knowing what's coming next?
thank you to all our (mine and jacks) friends and family, who have texted and called, and written, and wished him a happy birthday. it makes me teary eyed to think about all the amazing people who love my son. he is so blessed. the fact that he grows up in a less than ideal situation sucks. the fact that he grows up loved and surrounded by all of you is phenominal. so thank you. thank you thank you thank you.
