baby of mine

 dear Camden,

today you are two years old.

wow. to say those two years flew by would be an understatement.

when your daddy and i found out we were pregnant with you, my heart soared! i couldn't believe i was going to have the chance to be a mom.  and here we are, two years later, parents to such a sweet little boy!

at two years, you are incredibly sweet, and full of energy!

you have such a kind personality... you are always giving hugs, sharing, and making new friends. just the other day you walked into sunday dinner at Papa Judd's house and exclaimed "hello cousins!" so excited to play!

you have got some pretty sweet dance moves.  you love all things "toy story" and your latest favorite is "aladdin"-- you sing "whole new world".  you also sing along to "moves like jagger" and adele.  and your rendition of "i love to see the temple" is pretty much the best thing ever!  when the hot dog song comes on at the end of mickey mouse clubhouse, you go nuts dancing... it's great!

you love to listen to the train outside our house, and always point out the geese and airplanes in the sky.

you have quite the large vocabulary...mommy has to translate from time to time, but you aren't shy about trying to say words...you repeat everything. (which gets us into trouble sometimes!)

you love sports. (you must be your father's son)  you love cosmo and BYU--you can do the "ra ra" part of the fight song, and you love to wear your cougar shirt.

you love soccer and Real Salt Lake... you sing "ole, ole, ole ole, Real Salt Lake"

and always point out the "real soccer" when we drive by the stadium.  you also love Leo the lion.  Daddy takes you golfing with your own "yubs" (can't quite say your C's yet!) at mulligan's golf course behind our house.

you love to watch daddy coach, and refer to the waterford gym as the "volley house"

you are also your mother's son, because you cheer everyone on.

when we are driving in the car, you start yelling "go mommy! go daddy! go memo!" and everyone and everything else you can think of. pretty enthusiastic.

you love to read your books and have a few of them memorized.. ("oops")

you also love storytime at the library.  when everyone gathers in the corner to listen to the story, you are the little one in front, much like the little dog on "101 dalmations" that keeps standing up in front of the tv to be closer...yup, that's you! 

you are super friendly and really love playing with London, Penny, Jake, Addy, and your Idaho cousins, Brinley and Tayson.

your favorite foods are bananas, yogurt, hot dogs and pizza.

pretty much you have captured our hearts, and we are thrilled to be your parents!

you are you, and i wouldn't change a thing :)
