Happy Birthday Izzy!

Two years have passed in the strangest way possible. I can't beleive it is gone, but it feels like a lifetime ago. It was two years ago today that Izzy was born. He has grown from a 6 pound baby who needs his parents for everything to a walking, talking, alphabet-reading two-year-old.

Being a father is the most fun I have ever had. Every day is a new adventure because he learns something new, does something new and makes everyone around him feel special. You should surround yourself with people who make you want to do better, to achieve great things - people who push you and support you unconditionally. How amazing then when you are sent a little guy who can do all those things before he is even potty trained.

Izzy is already happier, smarter and cooler than I could ever have hoped my child could be.

Happy birthday Izzy. You can't read this yet, but in a few months you probably will. Maybe next year we can have a party with Axl and propose a toast to Marley's ghost.

I love that picture of him eating the cake -- the first time ever he touched something and wasn't offended by the mess he made.

He is so fantastic.

Our little one as well does not like to have her hands dirty, is it just a kid thing or is a real dislike? What a cutie! Meghan hits 3 this year, where has the time gone?!
