Two!?!!?!

I cried in Coache's arms last night, pretty much the whole night.  My son; my adorable, defiant, loving, stubborn, and hilarious son is 2 today.
Where did the time go??  I feel like that I missed the baby stage, that I didn't fully appreciate it like I should have and that I didn't enjoy every moment like I wanted to.  Those first years are a blink's moment in time. 
He went from this....
To this......
What an incredible little boy!! 
I do feel guilty bawling and telling Coach how much I feel like I've missed and how worried I was for not spending more time with him and not basking in the moments of his babyhood...
Coach just held me and told me that I was overreacting and really just comforted me, not at all mentioning that for a YEAR he only experienced Big T through photos that I sent him!!

I may never get to experience a baby again, and I realize that I am very lucky to have even gotten to experience it once, but it still brings sadness with the thought that he is no baby, it is over.



On a better note....
(This is our first hike to the "M", where Big T would tell Coach "Daddy Keep Walking", anytime he stopped for a breather!!)

 Saturday we threw him a birthday party!!  and I made him a cake....ALL BY MYSELF (with Coach's help :-) ).

It really doesn't look like much here:



Making Fondant...way expensive to buy!!

It's starting to look like something...
