A Numbers Game...

730...

That is the number of days that our Kael has lit up our lives like the sun. Two whole years that have flown by and been more magical and full of love than any years prior. And we know that Kaelster knows that he is extraordinary. Because making someone a mama and someone else a daddy-o is something that takes a very special and gifted little one, like our big boy, Kael.

361...

Is the number of days ago that our Kaelster started walking. And now he spins, jumps, somersaults, runs, rides, tackles, dances, climbs, gallops, hugs and kisses. What he does not do (yet) - is sit still. Maybe when he's older he'll have time for such a basic and ordinary skill. He is a ball of energy and curiosity and we love to watch him grow and rule the world.

∞...

That is the official sign for infinity. Which is the amount of love we have for our first-born, who came to us like a sparkling star. He is such a big bear of love who has a seemingly unending pool of sweetness to pull from. He is the best big brother... always asking for "andy" (candy) for himself and for "Daxi" and if you didn't know his brother's name you would think he was constantly hailing a cab like a seasoned New Yorker. He rarely becomes impatient with his little shadow and it is evident that Kaelster wanted to be a big brother here on our spinning globe. He is full of life and passion and endless surprises and he shocks us daily with new words and tricks. To have him as a part of our forever family is one of our greatest blessings.

3.14159 = π

Pi. Or in this case, pie... as in, Kael is just as sweet as pie... and his "cookie dough" cheeks that dimple with his vast array of silly faces keep us laughing. And speaking of pie... our big boy is still one voracious eater. We love to watch him do an anxious happy dance as we open a "Shreat" (treat) or pour him some "Joo" (juice).

Yep, life is pretty sugary with this little love on our hands.

2...

Our angel baby is two. And we never thought this day would come so soon. It's one of those moments when you shake your head and smile because it's too cliche to say, "How did this happen?" or "Why are you growing up so fast?"

We are so proud of our little man and the love he injects in to our family. And we smile every day because of him. And we know that our Kaelster will continue to ignite love in those he comes in contact with because that is who our little outlaw is... a lightning bolt of all things that are good.

We love you so much, Big K, and we will always love you. And even though you're getting bigger at the speed of light; you will always be our baby and we know you'll create magic with your one great and amazing life.

Happy Birthday, Big Boy!

We Love You a Gazillion!
