Love You TWO the Moon

Image
 Carter boy! You are TWO. I must say you are the cutest two year old. We celebrated you complete with a Love you Two the Moon theme, homemade vanilla cupcakes, a disco ball (moon) piñata and lots of fun presents. You felt loved and important and that’s what we were hoping for.  You are so incredibly close to walking, I’m hoping you’ll have it figured out by the end of the year. Fingers crossed. You’re still just a little nervous, but strong and steady. You’ve got this. A big part of me wants you to walk, you’re getting heavy to carry around everywhere, but also I know that walking will bring a new found freedom, which could be good and bad. I’m just hoping you’re not a runner and get into trouble… I know it will come though and we’ll hopefully be ready for it.  You are talking and understanding so much lately. The other day I could have sworn you said love you. It melted my heart. Your favorite word is still bath, you say it loud and clear. You LOVE water. I’m pretty sure...

 Your nickname is Carter Boy. It’s cute and it stuck. Life with you is an adventure, we never know what’s coming up, but we sure enjoy all of it.  When you were born we had no idea how healthy you would be or what the future would hold. It’s been 18 months now and let’s just say life with you has been so wondeful.  You are so healthy, especially for a boy with Down syndrome, of course you get sick a lot, but you fight it off like a champion and haven’t been in any scary situations. We’re hoping you just get healthier and healthier. Even when you’re sick you are so enjoyable and happy. Unfortunately you were sick during Christmas but still gave us the best smiles.  You are learning and growing so much. You can crawl, but still choose to pull yourself to get around. It’s really cute and making you very strong. You can pull yourself up onto couches now and are spending more time on your knees and exploring. You’ll stand up if we’re holding onto which is really cute....

 CARTER BOY!  Hi cutie. Wow you have been such a light and blessing. I can’t imagine life without you. You have a smile that lights up the room. And sometimes just sometimes we get to hear a little laugh. Your babbling is the cutest. And I’m pretty sure you associated mama with me. Your first word, whether you knew it was me or not. It meant the world. You have the most beautiful blue almond shaped eyes and dark hair. You are 100% that Greek god I envisioned. Everyone is obsessed with you and you’re definitely everyone’s favorite.  You recently started mimicking things and it so cute. You tilt you head to the right and wait for us to divot and then tilt it to the left and wait for us to do it. Whenever you see your dad you purse your lips together. It’s your little thing with him, so sweet. I love the way you make deep eye contact with anyone who picks you up. You stare straight into our souls. It’s almost like you’re seeing our spirits instead of us, who knows maybe you ...
