Happy 2nd Birthday, sweet James

My sweet, happy, funny, little James is 2 years old today! Oh how I love this kid more than words can express.  I never imagined that this precious little boy could steal my heart the way he has.  His smile lights up my day, and his hugs are priceless.  What is James like as a 2 year old? He is a climber, a smiler, a hugger, and a clown.  What do I love most about him? Where do I begin...

- I love that his best friend is our lab Tucker

There is not one thing I would change about these 2 years we have had with sweet baby James.  As I rock him before bedtime each night, I thank God for blessing us with this precious little boy...for his smiles...for his cuddles...and for his giggles.  Happy Birthday James-y Boy, we all love you more than you will ever know!
