How can this be?

"Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back." -Harvey MacKay

Can you believe that this little guy...

...was born 2 years ago on Thursday? It just doesn't seem right in my mind - at once, it feels both like he should be younger and older than that! Time is quite confusing!

Let's see how the last two years has changed my Andrew Tyler:

• He's gained something around 24 lbs
• He's grown more than 14 inches. The last appointment he had was 6 months ago, so I can't tell you any really accurate stats on his height and weight
• He's learned how to hold his head up, roll over, sit up, crawl, cruise, walk, and RUN (one of his favorite things to do!)
• He's popped out something like 20 teeth, maybe more, maybe less. It's harder to check nowadays!
• He's grown enough hair for two haircuts, though it took a LONG time for anyone to even be able to see any hair on his head
• He's learned to talk. A lot. He was a talker from birth, but now he's really talking to us! We still have no idea what he's saying half the time, but we can definitely tell what his favorite things are by the words he says most: Mickey, cars, truck, football, Buckeyes, touchdown, papa (Grandpa), daddy... yep, he's all boy!
• He's still the sweetest, most outgoing kid you'll meet, but he's also learned how to throw a tantrum! Flailing on the floor is a current behavioral staple in his repertoire
• He's able to throw a ball like a fiend, so don't get in the way if he has a ball in his hand(s)!
• He loves to see his own baby pictures. In fact, he asks to see them whenever we turn on the laptop or he sees our cell phones, silly boy. He points to himself and says, "Baby!" Hopefully that means he'll be more open to the new baby when we bring it home in February...? (He still doesn't get that he's going to be a big brother!)

There's lots more, but then I'll really begin to gush about my cute little boy!

And here he is, two (almost) whole years later!

Our future basketball player!

I love this little boy!

Secret: Some of my favorite movies are Disney movies - Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Mulan... they're just so classic! How can you not like them? Which Disney movies are your favorites?
