Our Brooks is TWO!!

Oh my sweet boy!!  How are you 2 years old?  It seems like yesterday that we brought you home from the hospital with that head full of dark hair on July 23.  Time is flying and I wish it would slow down.  You are ALL B-O-Y!!  You love to throw things, play with any kind of ball (favorites are basketball and soccer ball), you love cars and trains, and you love to read books.  It might be too early to tell, but we think you're a lefty.  You kick with your left foot and use your left hand for almost everything :)

Your crazy big appetite has slowed down, you still love to eat, but not near the amount that you use to. You LOVE spoonfuls of peanut butter, are obsessed with ketchup or "dipping" your food in anything, and still like your milk in the morning and before bed.  You eat really well, and we haven't found too many things you don't like.  

You favorite shows to watch are Peppa Pig, Curious George, and Paw Patrol.  You are talking up a storm and your vocabulary has just exploded.  When you wake up in the mornings, which is usually in our bed, the first thing you do is sit up and say "Hi!"  It's the cutest thing.  And yes, going back to the part about sleeping in our bed....  Ugh!  You start out every night rocking with me or Daddy in your room after reading a book and it never fails, between 11 and 3, you wake up crying and we just bring you downstairs.  I don't mind so much anymore.  It's just what we're use to now. :)

You and your sister can love on each other one minute, and then be clawing at each other the next.  You are sensitive, and it hurts your feelings if someone takes something from you or gets onto you. But you usually get over it pretty darn fast.  

I could probably go on and on about all the things you do, in which I love. You are such a blessing to our family, Brooks Vaughn!  We love you with every ounce of our being and pray for you every day.  I pray for your safety and health, I pray for your happiness, I pray for your future spouse, and I pray that most importantly, you will always know the Lord.  I pray you will never doubt that He has a great plan for you and that you will have faith in Him and always trust Him to lead you.

Happy 2nd Birthday Sweet Boy!

We love you to the moon!!
