my first boy is two

jaxon turned two on the 10th of this month!

if you remember, we had his party a couple weeks early with judah.

we began the day with cinnamon rolls,

and when daddy got home, jax got to open his presents:

a healthy dose of spiderman for almost everyone...

...max was happy just to watch. =)

 after some yummy cupcakes, we loaded up and headed to the zoo.

perfect timing, because it was the last day our membership was good!

it was max's first trip...

and boy was he stoked!

it had been awhile since jax had been,

but the animals didn't phase him!

 only missing one...

there he is!

jax, 

i thought raising boys would be easier than raising girls.

it is, because there is far less drama. 

it isn't, because you are busy non stop. 

you have had a chipped tooth since you were probably around 1. 

you stop my heart, and i don't know how we haven't been to the hospital yet...

but you are the sweetest, most loving boy.

i love your ornery smile.

i love how you love to 'nuggle' mommy with a 'bankie'.

you're the typical younger brother, tagging along with your sisters,

but you're already a protective older brother, too, and i love you for it.

you're 110% boy, and i love, love watching you grow.

happy birthday, little man!
