Silas Turns Two

Monday my sweet son turned two years old!

We spent the morning playing with friends and had lots of fun (and some trouble too, involving large bottles of soap and some grease, but nothing that couldn’t be cleaned up.) Later that evening we all got to go to dinner with some borrowed grandparents, where Silas bonded with Howie the dog. Next week Poppa and Yaya Griffiths will come, and we’ll have a bit more of an actual party.

I know they say “it all goes so fast” and sometimes I feel that way, but not right now. Perhaps because so much has happened in our lives since Silas was born, it seems like a long time ago when he was a teeny newborn.

Since we brought Silas home, I took a picture of him sitting in our green rocker each month until he was a year old.

Now here he is at age two! Not a baby, not really even a toddler, but looking like a little boy!

Well even if it didn’t go by all that fast, he IS growing up fast! I always marvel at how much someone who starts out completely helpless is able to learn in just two years. Just today Silas surprised me by doing a puzzle I didn’t think he would be able to do yet, but he figured it out just fine.

Happy Birthday Silas! Keep on growing strong and healthy!
