Happy Birthday, Weston!

What 2 year-old isn't a whole new personality than that of our sweet baby just one year ago?

He runs – not walks

He screams – not talks

He wants what he wants right now!

Hearing the word ‘NO’ puts his tail in a spin…

He freaks if anyone touches his blanket,

But loves to tease everyone by taking what he knows he shouldn’t have.

He drags stuffed animals, cars, and trucks behind him

with anything that may resemble a rope.

Fashion conscious to a fault – he has to wear shoes,

but if he doesn’t have a ‘onesie’ on, he could comfortably go NAKED!

The monkey in him is pushing chairs and tables around to climb on,

hanging on people as they try to walk,

testing buttons, switches, rummaging through closets, cupboards, and drawers.

He loves to help Mom with the dishes.

He loves watching Disney movies and eating popcorn with Taylor,

hugs & kisses, and bath time.

If the door is left open, he’s out in a flash – he loves to be outdoors…

In the garage rummaging through Dad’s tools; digging in the dirt;

playing at the water table; pointing out dog poop in the grass for Dad;

following behind with a toy, pretending to mow and trim;

taking walks and riding in the wagon;

pointing out any bug as a bee, airplanes, tractors, and trucks.

‘Mommy’, ‘D’ for Daddy, Taylor, JJ, and Heidi {his fave aunt},

‘Doodoo’ for Thank You, ‘Oh, Oh’, ‘Sorry’, & ‘Whoa Baby’,

are just a few of his words and phrases.

His eyes, how they twinkle with mischief

He’s growing by leaps and bounds

He’s learning so many new things

His smile will brighten our day

What was life like before he was here?

We’re so thankful for ‘The Boy’.

Happy 2^nd Birthday, Weston

Love, Grandma Shifflett
