Happy 2nd Birthday Nate!

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Nato,
Happy birthday to you!

Hard to believe it's already been two years since you joined our family!  You're a lively little boy who has filled our lives with much joy and laughter.  You love to be in on whatever your brothers are doing, and you try your best to tag along with them.  Woe be anyone who gets in your way, for you are strong-willed and know what you want.  You love playing with tractors, joining your brothers at the Lego table, sitting with Mom, and reading books together - I often find you on the couch looking for Goldbug.  Although you're not talking much yet, you're pretty good at letting us know what you're thinking and you're certainly not quiet - you can get extremely loud!! We look forward to hearing you do a little more talking in the next year instead of calling everything and everyone either "Mom" or "Aaron".  I did hear "Oma" and "arm" over the last few days, but your new words are slow in coming.  I'm sure things will change in the next year, and we won't be able to remember today's word-less version of Nate!
Congratulations, my two-year old Nato!  May God continue to bless you in the coming year!

Congratulations Nate on your second birthday. It was nice we could join you using Skype from Grandpa's hospital room. Love from Grandpa and Grandma
