November 16th 2007 was a day that forever changed our lives for the better. To say that the last two years have flown by would be a huge understatement. As quickly as the time has passed, it's hard to even remember what our lives were like before you were born. You have grown and changed so much in 2 years…and you make us so incredibly proud!
We haven't gone for your 2 year check up yet, but Louisa you have gone from 2 lbs 11 oz to almost 20 lbs…19 lbs 4 oz to be exact. Hopefully soon we will be able to turn your car seat around! The NICU nurses had you pegged the night you were born…they told us you were a feisty one…and they couldn't have been more right! Your spunk is cute, fun, precious, it makes us laugh, it makes you…you! You will forever be our sweet angel. One day…when you have a little girl…you will know how much we love you. Until then, there is no way that we can explain how precious you are to us.
Reid – you have gone from 4 lbs 15 oz to ~27 lbs…such a big boy! You needed a little "help" from oxygen when you were born and to this day, you prefer to have help or to be with somebody. The way that you say "Momma" as you lay your head on my shoulder absolutely melts me…every single time! I'm pretty sure you realize it too! You are definitely a "Momma's boy", but as you get bigger you are having so much fun playing with your cars with Daddy. Your heart is so big and we pray that you will always keep this sensitive side because it is so much of who you are!
We had a really fun time celebrating your birthday this weekend with your family and friends at Monkey Joe's! You learned quickly from watching your cousins how to jump and bounce and climb up the slides. We're so glad you had a good time! Here are a few pictures from our fun day…

Today was your "real birthday" and we woke you up this morning by bringing you pancakes in bed with candles in them and singing "Happy Birthday." Pretty sure neither of you knew what to think, but we wanted you to know how special today, November 16th is! A few pictures playing outside tonight in the leaves…
We had "pieces" (Pizza) for dinner…one of your favorites. Oh, and of course bananas! No meal goes by without you asking for your "nanas!" Then you opened your presents from us.
"Hey, Sissy…what did you get?"
"Hey, Bubba…what did you get??
Sissy and her doll…
Bubba and his "Handy Manny"…
Switch!
What a fun day…
Happy 2nd Birthday, our sweet Reid and Louisa Claire -we love you!
