TWO!!



24 months. I really cannot believe how fast the past 2 years have gone. And despite all of Vince's efforts, mama and papa are still alive, and generally healthy. Honestly, we both feel truly blessed to have this little man. And although the crushing has been severe at times, its hard to imagine a life without him. Seriously, how could anyone live without having a daily argument about why you have to wear pants when you go outside. or explaining to someone why they can't just sit in a diaper full of poop.

But there is also the funny stuff; A few weeks ago, it was him counting out loud "uno, dos, tres, quatro, ocho, nueve, ocho". Or maybe the other day, when he saw mama pull the ice cream out of the freezer "oooh, I like it". Or just today it was him pointing at the TV and looking at me "papa, Dora...go"



But enough with the pleasantries. Lets see what Vince can do now that he couldn't do 12 months ago

1) A 2 year old can have a birthday party at the swimming pool.

If you'll recall, last year we had a birthday party in the backyard. The temperature was a little on the cool side and the kids nearly got hypothermia. This year, Vince graduated to the neighborhood pool. The temperature was a little on the cool side and the kids nearly got hypothermia. A wise aggie once told me, "2 and 3 yr olds are like polar bears, they have no idea what hypothermia means"

I only pasted a few below. Click here for more birthday pictures.








2) A 2 year old can teach a 1 year old about the concept of "mine"

I'm terribly sorry Chloe, I'm looking at this at the moment, would you mind waiting for one or two minutes. Thank you

3) A 2 year old can hunt for Easter eggs....
....or wander around aimlessly in the bushes

4) A 2 year old can take pictures with strategically placed dinosaurs

Nude but tasteful



5) A 2 year old can run

Here is us at Discovery Green, the new park that just opened up in downtown Houston.

6) A 2 year old can handle firearms

I'm not sure how he figured out how a gun should be held? or what it does? But here is Vince trying to bust a cap on Nate Goldberg. He looks a bit maniacal. Should I be concerned?







7) A 2 year old can be in love with this person (ugh)



8) A 2 yr old can embarrass his father

I won't embed directly here for the sake of public decency. But click here for a video of Vincent accidentally pulling down his papa's shorts at the Galleria
