Andrew, it's been over a year since I last blogged about you and all the changes in your little life.  I'll try to recap as much as I possibly can so you have some point of reference someday when you care to read about who you were as a little boy.  Year two was a real ride for us, your personality really shinned for good and for stubborn!  You were and still are a cozy cuddler, especially after nap time.  Your tantrums were sometimes epic and I'm glad we have moved on from the "terrible twos."  You would lay on the floor with your facedown, scream and cry and there was NO comforting you until the tantrum had run it's course (so to speak).  Aside from the tantrums you became a little less shy and a lot more independent!  Friendships began to form, especially with Nettie Joyce and your cousin Archer.  You learned to share very well and began helping us decide what you wanted to wear.  I apologize for the brief recap on your second year of life, I think going back to work full time really played a part in "Blogging."  If you decide to have a family one day try to be in a financially secure place where you can make the decision to have one of you stay home if that is your hearts desire.  You guys are my top priority but sometimes things don't get done the way I wished they could because I am working.  Just know, my heart is and always will be with you first. So let me recap with things that you really liked at the age of two!
1. Daddy, you have always loved your Daddy!
2. Monkey...he goes where you go.
3. Tools, cars and trucks, you really showed an interest in these toys this year.
4. Swimming!  You took swim lessons with Nettie this summer and loved it!  You also did a lot of jumping in to the pool where Daddy would let you go underwater for a second and then lift you up!  You were SO brave!
5. I tried to encourage you to move on from your pacifier and diapers, you were NOT interested.
6. You began to appreciate and love Norman Bobby the cat, you love Harper Sue too but he's not around as much.
7. You decided around your 2nd birthday that you wanted out of your crib into a toddler bed.  We made that transition and you never looked back!
8. Roadtrips, we did two big ones in the summer and you did an awesome job traveling.  Of course, the places we stayed had pools so that made it worth the long drives! 
9. Your love for playing any instrument continues on!  I'm pretty sure you and Daddy have your own band.
10. You've got a pretty good kick too when you and Daddy are playing soccer. 
I think I could go on about what year two looked like for you, but I still need to catch up to year three!  You did learn that being an only child was going to end soon, you didn't mind at the time!
Here are a few pictures from year two!
