Dear Cooper..... I can't believe you are 2!

My 2 year old

Dear Cooper,

Happy birthday to my tenacious, vibrant, mischievous two year old. Wow how time has flown. You just keep growing bigger and bigger, you never stop eating and I swear by the time you are a teenager I won't be able to afford to feed you!

You continue to light up our lives, you are smart and bold and sometimes very naughty, but even then it doesn't take long for you to do or say something so cute we can't help but to forgive you. You still bring us so much joy and make us so proud. You are growing into such an independent little man, always wanting to try new things and sometimes very stubbornly on your own. Your imagination is starting to run wild and I love hearing some of the stories you make up while you play.

I know that you will not remember these first few years, but I want you to know the fun we had, the love we have for you and the time we devoted to making you feel important and valued, especially when your sister arrived.

We still count our blessing everyday that you are here, that you are healthy and happy. You inspire us to be the best parents we can, you are an amazing little man and I know that in the years ahead you will continue to surprise us with the things you can do!

We love you, you will always be our special little man! Happy birthday darling. xoxox

Love your Mummy & Daddy
