Kade Robert- 2 years

Kade-

You are growing up so fast!  Already 2 years old!  Time sure is flying!

Kade, you talk all the time.  I can't believe the verbal progress you've made in the last few months.  Usually, you talk in 2-3 word sentences.  Your newest thing is when you start getting hungry, you say, "I want lunch!"  You and Marleigh now have conversations together and I love it!  Sometimes, you have complete conversations all on your own.  Just this morning, you were playing and I heard you tell yourself, "Thank you."  Then you replied and said, "You're welcome."

You love playing with your tractors and the cars from "Cars".  Gigi gave you some cars for your birthday, and you insisted on them sitting with you while you ate your birthday cupcake.  You have finally reached an age that you and your big sissy interactively play together.  Sometimes she bosses you around.  You do what she wants for a while, then tell her, "No, Sissy!"  I really enjoy just sitting and watching you guys play together.

You are incredibly independent and completely fearless.  You want to do everything on your own, and seem to be scared of nothing.  You will jump/fall off of anything, no matter the height.  At the lake, you would just take off walking, until it was too deep and your feet floated out from under you.  You'd gasp a little, find your footing, and be fine until you decided to do it again. You are just like your sister in that fact that you love to be in the water.  Lake, pool, bathtub, it doesn't matter to you!

You have the happiest little disposition.  You run around all day with the biggest smile on your face.  Your giggle is infectious, and it takes very little to get you to smile and laugh.  It is one of your qualities I treasure the most.

Kade, you are an entertainer.  You are constantly doing something that has us laughing at you.  You dance up a storm and have started galloping everywhere.  When we get to laughing at you, you in turn start cracking up.  It is priceless!

You are the most curious little thing I have ever seen!  You want to know how everything works and what every button does.  You've already mastered the iPad and iPhone, navigating to get where you want.  You love to play music on them and we call you "DJ Bubba Scribbles".  We request a song, and you go right to that song and play it.  You love the buttons on the dishwasher, and washing machine.  Many times, they will be running, because you decided to start them.  And when you get in a tractor or combine?!?  Watch out!  Every button must be pushed, every lever must be pulled, and you crank the steering wheel back and forth.

Kade, you are also very determined.  You keep trying and working at things until you get it.  Most of the time we see your determination when you are trying to climb something.  You just recently finally figured out how to climb from the bottom of the slide clear to the top.  Once up there, you puffed up your chest and said, "Ta Da!!!"

Even though you are still very ornery, you have a very compassionate, protective side.  You hate to see Marleigh upset and rush to her.  You give her hugs and pat her back if she is crying.  Or if she is laying on the couch, you run to find a blanket and cover her up.

Potty training is about to begin for you as well.  You've gone in the big boy potty sporadically, but we really haven't hit it hard.  Kind of hard to potty train at the lake, and when we're traveling, so I'm sure we'll try it this fall when things slow down.

You remain very tall, and are still solid, but are slimming down.  We haven't had your 2 year well check yet, so I'll update once we get the exact numbers.

Silly boy, you have already brought so much joy to our family in the first two years of your life.  You are such a unique blessing and we love you so much!

Love-
Mommy
