MY little man

MY little man...
He stole my heart the day I first saw his precious face.
The first words out of my mouth at that moment were "he looks just like his daddy."

That seems like only a few months ago,
but now that tiny baby is TWO.

MY little man...
He is curious, handsome, loving and quickly gaining independence.
Every time I get him the cup of milk, or bowl of crackers he is requesting, the sweet words "tank eww, Mama" come from his mouth...
and I melt into a big 'ol pile of mommy mush!

MY little man...
He loves his daddy, and squeals with excitement when he comes in the back door every evening.
Watching the two of them together makes my heart sing.
He may look just like his daddy, and he's got so many of his qualities too...
the ones that made me fall in love with him.

MY little man...
He has forever changed my life, and the way I look at the world.
He made me a mommy, and we are living the most joyful years of our life right now.

MY little man...
He's only two, but I am already picturing the man he will become one day.
Strong, loyal and intelligent, with a Spiritual, God-fearing heart.

MY little man...
He loves to cuddle and hold my hand.
I am sad to think about the day when he will be "too big" to do those things.

I love you, Barrett Russell!
I can't wait to see what {TWO} has in store for us.
