It sounds so cliche, but it's crazy to think that 2 years ago, I was in the OR room, waiting to see my baby boy for the first time. To be honest, it seems like forever ago. A lot has happened in those 2 years. 4 moves later...one of them was 2 months before he was born...well, I think that about sums it up why it seems like such a long time ago!!
Our Jojo Bean is such a sweet, cute, and friendly boy. He is so easy going meeting new people, usually smiles but can often give intense serious looks. Often he looks at me with a deep scowl, then breaks into a big grin with giggles. He loves balls of all kinds and enjoys "playing catch". To me, his vocabulary is advanced for his age and he has learned a lot from his big sister. He knows the colors blue and pink, the shapes of circles, triangles, and squares. His favorite song is "Silent Night". One day in the car he just started singing it out loud, so cute! He had a high singing voice, makes me laugh. What a character. He also likes "I Am A Child Of God" and requested it in Portland every night when we put him down for bed, " want God, want God!" So sweet. He is a pretty good sleeper, usually sleeping 10-11 hours at night with a 2-3 hour nap during the day. His favorite thing to wear is zip up foot pajamas. He's a big eater and especially loves fruits, vegetables, and even green salads. He enjoys playing on the playgrounds, and our cautious little boy is actually the more daring of the two when climbing around the McDonald's type of playgrounds. The only thing that holds him back is his height (these are built for older kids), but with Addie giving him boosts, he keeps up with the rest.
He got 2 big balls, sunglasses, a few shirts and pants, and balloons. The balloons were a bigger hit and received days of attention, more then anything else we could have gotten him. Oh, and he felt pretty cool with his glasses. We've decided to hold back on yhe toys because they don't play with them very well anyways. So we're going to keep an eye open for a basketball hoop to complete his gift.
He also got a card from the Bare's with money, a phone call from the Hebdon's, and a blue, red, and white plaid shirt and teddy bear from grandma and grandpa Hebdon. What a lucky boy!!
I decided to do a 3 layer cake with his favorite balls: football, basketball, and baseball. He was very excited about his cake! He wanted to touch it after he got up from his nap, but had to wait until daddy came home from work.
Earlier that day we went to McDonald's and ate, then played in their playground. With the cold winter, we do this often. And the kids love it!!
We love this kiddo! He adds a lot of fun to our home. Addie adores him and makes sure he is included in things. He is always willing to give hugs and kisses when someone is sad or hurt. He has a big heart, and loves his sister Addie. They truly are best friends. Although it's hard to have them so close together, I'm grateful in many ways. They're almost like twins, doing many things together, helping one another, and we always have to have 2 of everything. There's a lot of competition too.
My blue/green eyes handsome boy! Happy birthday!! We love you so much!!
