Two Years Ago Today...

We met our boy. Still one of the best days of our lives. He's grown up quite a bit and it's hard to believe he was a baby once, but we still remember the first time we held him. Now, we can barely keep up with him. Just the other day he told us out of the blue that he had "big words in his mouth" (and no doubt bigger ideas in his head - "I thinking A LOT, Daddy!") He's growing in leaps and bounds, and while his progress is all we hoped for the pace is at times surprising, and a even a little unnerving lest we blink and miss something new.
