we have a match made in heaven!  Met our beautiful baby girl today, 5 months old, big brown eyes, chubby cheeks, soft big culrs...she is adorable!  More to come...we are overjoyed!

celebrating our little man

here are some pictures from Rhett's little birthday celebration last week.  He had such a good time with friends.  He was especially excited about his cupcakes and the bubbles!

chasing bubbles will never get old

   

I got these cute cupcake toppers off of Etsy.

He got very embarrassed when we started singing 'happy birthday' to him and hid his face...

...then slowly, he couldn't help but revel in the excitement of the moment, and he peeked out to make a little blow of the candles!  And finally, a high five with dad!

he had been waiting for this moment all day...the eating of the cupcake

Love this kid.

Dear Rhett...

I have a confession.  The day I found out I was pregnant with you, I cried and cried (mostly out of pure shock and panic).  Shame on me.  And then, the day we found out you were a boy, I sobbed. and sobbed. and sobbed some more.  I sobbed and grieved for 3 days strait because in my heart I KNEW, I couldn't even talk on the phone. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I didn't want to hear what anyone had to say.  Shame on me.

And then, on 7/8/09, at 8:11 pm, after the most beautiful labor and delivery, you were placed upon my chest and we met face to face.  And tears of happiness streamed down my face. Over a few months time, my sorrow and fear had slowly but surely been replaced with pure joy and unfathomable gratefulness.  What. A. Gift.

I love every little thing about you, from you head down to your toes.  I love that you love to laugh, even when I'm disiplining you.  I love that we share the title of snapdragons in a house full of sunflowers each morning until we've had our coffee and cereal.  I love that you're stubborn.  I love that I'm the only one that usually knows what you want because you are too stubborn to talk.  I love that you are FULL of life.  So, happy birthday little man, what a blessing these two years have been.  I can't imagine our family without you.  I love you!
