Ryan: Two

Ryan, you have been such a sweet addition to our family.  Your energy and determination will take you far in life.  I can't wait to see where you go with it.  Your sister thinks you will become a construction worker due to your obsession with diggers, rollers, dump trucks, etc.  I on the other hand think there are bigger things in store for you.

You win us all over with your exploding language on a daily basis.  My favorite words of yours are: thank you (tank you), super (swooper!), noodle (doodle), forklift (fork-it), 

Things I remember about the day you were born.  It was a hot day, but we spent the entire day inside the hospital.  Your Dad and I watched Wimbeldon on TV while we waited for things to happen.  We took naps, relaxed and waited.  Around 2pm the doctor came in to check on things before he went to a meeting.  He was a little late for his meeting.  Aunt Jami had been visiting and went downstairs to get us a strawberry shake from Starbucks.  Before she got back (less than 10 minutes later) you were born.  It was a quick and easy delivery, despite your huge size!  I really loved that anesthesiologist!  You were loved from the minute we set eyes on you!  It was a fantastic day!
