Wow, son, you sure have grown into such a big boy. It's an absolute blast to watch you continue to grow - physically and mentally. Very frequently, we find ourselves completely amazed at how intelligent you are. You have completely mastered your numbers 1-9 and the entire alphabet. That is, when we ask you to find us a particular number or letter, you can point right to what we have asked. It is so fun, and it makes us incredibly proud of you and re-assures us that you are going to be a good learner. But, there is work to be done. You seem to enjoy being stubborn in not wanting to speak. You like to mimic certain sounds, but for some reason you refuse to repeat words, except for "Momma, Da-Da, car, cow, ba (ball/balloon), De (Jet), ssss (the letter S) and dat (that) ." Oh well, we'll take it for now. Plus, it gives us something to look forward to.
You are a great son. Your parents love you dearly. We would not change a thing about our lives with you. No matter how hard of a day we might have, seeing you and just being in your presence makes us happy and reminds us of what is most important in life - family. We hope you love us as much as we love you.

Just popped over from Kelly's Korner. My baby boy is just a month younger than your Boston. I read your birth story and am just amazed. The words your husband wrote about you brought tears to my eyes. There is nothing more beautiful than an evident love between spouses.
Your son is so cute! I found you on Kellys Korner. I am in DFW and have a 2 year old little boy :)
