So today, technically yesterday since it's about 12:30 on Sunday morning at the moment, is Gibson's 2nd birthday. It's hard to believe. I've caught myself thinking several times throughout the day of exactly what I was feeling 2 years ago today. Clueless is the first thing that comes to mind. Overwhelmed would be the second. Gibson has never been an "easy" baby or kid. He's not one to just sit in the floor and play for hours on end with a cardboard box. That's not exciting enough for him. There are times where he's a tough kid to handle but he's worth every moment of frustration. He's a great kid (most of the time) and I wouldn't change a single thing about him. I think God made him this way to teach me way more than I can ever teach Gibson. I've learned so much in the last 2 years. And while I'm not professing perfection, I do feel as though I'm a much better person than I was 2 years ago. Not that I was some sort of evil before. But I've learned to let things go and not worry so much about the small stuff (and I continue to work on that every day). Anyways, enough reminiscing. Here are some pictures from the party!
Gibson loves to slide!!!
He was so very hot! I think that in this picture he's wishing he was a December baby. ;-)
He acted like he really wanted the cake. But once he got a piece, he decided he didn't like it. Guess that's a 2 year old's prerogative.
For his birthday, Gibson got a lot of GREAT presents from all his family & friends. So far, I've got pictures of him playing on the trampoline that we got him. He's always been a bouncer so, of course, he LOVES his trampline.
This trampline was one of the best on our "All-Time Best Investments" list. It runs a close second to the knee pad that we use when we bath Gibson. It's actually for working in flower beds or something. But, it saves our knees come bath time. (and I haven't a clue what's on the tv in the background. it doesn't even look vaguely familiar.)
After a long day (without a nap) and an afternoon of birthday party excitement, he collapsed! Sleeping like a baby! (not really a baby anymore though.) :-(

That's it for now! I'm pooped! Time for bed!!! Yeah!!!

Aaah! I can't believe our babies are 2! He really is a good kid from what I've seen and he is very lucky to have you and Jason as his parents! I love the one where he's finally asleep! I have one of Aubrie like that after her party! No matter how old they are - they will always be our babies!
