Bebe Pearl's 2nd Birthday!

1 day old

2 years old

Our 2 year old is a cute little boy with such a fun personality.  We celebrated his 2nd birthday at home and just kept it simple.  He received some some fun toys and cute clothing.  I made him a chocolate pudding cake and we had some good family time with him.   We love having such a cute and funny little boy in our family.  Our son's favorite things in the world are cars.  He talks about cars all day long.  He loves playing with his siblings.  He is definitely the one who makes the majority of messes.  It's just crazy how fast time flies.  He was just a newborn and now he is 2!

He was the only one of my kids that used both formula and was breastfed.  Unfortunately,  I think that  made him more susceptible to illness.  He had Bronchiolitis when he was about 5 months old and again the symptoms returned at 7 months. He had a bout with HFMD and recovered well.  He has also had to deal with Eczema.  He is definitely a tough little boy.   Thankfully,  he has been quite healthy lately and  I am really grateful for that.  As a mother it's always hard to deal with any illnesses that kids face,  because there is guilt that we always feel....just because we are the "MOM".  

As parents,  we look forward to watching this little boy grow. Guiding him as he learns about himself and especially as he journeys through this life.  

We hope to instill in him, first and foremost:

1.  Love the Lord
2. Love others
3.   Serve Others
4.  Serve a Mission
5.  Pursue a college education and career
6.  Marry a great woman in the temple
7.  Be a Great Husband
8.   Have a family
9. Be a great dad!   

(Thank goodness we still have a great amount of time before we have to worry about girls! lol!)

We love you son!!
