Happy Birthday McKade

McKade, how fast these two years have gone, and how much we enjoy having you as part of our family! You are the cutest little guy ever. You always have a mischievous look about you. You are a climber and are always found on counters, the top of the couches, and moving chairs all about the house to get into anything and everything. You have a mind of your own, and you decide when and how you want to do things. When you have made up your mind, that is it! You have decided that you like to fall asleep on the couch with your favorite red pillow every night and that is what you do. You have your favorite helicopter book that you like to read, and we read it many times a day, but you also read anything I will read to you. You love storytime. You are 22 pounds now and still in the less than fifth percentile for weight (that is how the doctors put it). Your height is in the 16th percentile and your head is in the fortieth percentile. You are talking very well and you mimic everything. One of our favorites is when you sit at the dinner table and say.... Red Robin....Yum! And then laugh as McKinna and Bodin laugh with you.


For your birthday we had your cake with two candles. The first candle went out rather quickly but the second one would not go out no matter how hard you tried. You blew and blew (by looking at the pictures you can tell it was kind of spit and spit), but that candle would not go out. We were all cracking up. After a while of this we let McKinna and Bodin help you, I think you were relieved as you welcomed the help. You loved opening all of your gifts, even though I think that Bodin enjoyed it more than you did. I found out in the morning that he had snuck your Transformer car into bed with him and slept with it. You are doing very well riding your new scooter, you insist on bringing it into the house most days to practice. This house is set up pretty well for that. We love you McKade!
