Happy Birthday!

My sweet baby boy is two years old. It's hard to believe that two years ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I looked over every inch of his body, I counted his long fingers and toes, noticed his ears were identical to mine, and instantly fell in love with him. A few hours later our world came crashing down around us as we learned that Lincoln had several heart defects. We went from feeling the greatest joy we had ever experienced to the greatest sorrow. I reflect back on those first six weeks of Lincolns life often. I remember the daily struggles, and more importantly the daily blessings. Lincoln is so strong and full of life. It is no wonder he was able to survive all that he did.

Since we are having a party next week we decided to just do a cupcake for his actual birthday. We went to the cupcake chic and let Linc pick out a cupcake. Well two, we shared one last night and he got his own today. :) Then we opened a few presents.

Today Lincoln was so excited for his Birthday, he crawled out of his crib (for the first time) to wake us up at 6am. I am surprised it has taken him this long to figure it out.
