James is Two!

Little dude, you are two! It was such a fun year, filled to the brim with joy, learning, exploring, and laughing. The days were packed with growing and aquiring and mastering skills. You keep your eyes wide open and explore your world. You are curious and observant and compassionate. You have such a big heart.

It was nothing short of amazing to watch my baby grow and develop. Jaime, you certainly let us know that you are not a baby anymore and that you have so much to do. But no matter how busy you are, you always have time for a hug and kiss.

My dear boy, two is:

• Seeing everything. Listening always. Taking it all in.
• Eating fruit (any kind, any way) pasta (any kind, any way), chicken tikka masala, yogurt.
• Reading as many books as you can get.
• Watching Curious George.
• Singing Taxi and Wheels on the Bus.
• Playing soccer and in sprinklers.
• Climbing everything, including the boulders in Central Park.
• Running as fast as you can as often as you can.
• Giving the best, biggest hugs.

James, we love you so much and are so proud of you. Happy happy!
