I can't believe my little boy is 2 today! As I look back at where we were at 2 years ago, it is nothing but pure joy for me! We welcomed a SWEET little boy, who we wanted SO bad, to this world. It was not the most ideal birth story, but it is one that will hold an extra special place in my heart and one I will NEVER forget! From the minute Kolten was born, even though his daddy was half way around the world, he has been a daddys boy! I would like to thank Dr. Clinch for a memory that I will never forget, and he will probly never in his lifetime of delivering babies, know how much that one small act affected me. Right after I had Kolten, He held all 8 lb 2 oz of his screaming body, and he didn't place him on my chest, he held him up, turned him to the side and showed him to the webcam first so his daddy could see him! I like to think that is the reason they are such good buddies :)
Kolten you are such a joy in our family! You are so talented, athletic and sweet! I like to think of you as a big teddy bear!
You have the cutest blonder than blonde curly hair that everyone envys. Your lips are to die for, and your big hazel eyes make me melt everytime you look at me! Im not so sure how we managed to get such a handsome little boy!
You have an incredibley strong love, or maybe I should call it an obsession with Football and skateboards! I have never seen a kid as athletic as you at the age of 2. You can ride a scooter better than any of the kids on your block. Next to your dad, I think your hero is Uncle Kaydon. You would sit and watch him play football all day if you could. You love to try and catch the football and hike it. Im pretty sure you can't get any more "BOY" than you are. (we took you to the store to pick out your birthday decorations, they had all sorts of little boy things to choose from, but you knew exactly what you wanted...FOOTBALL. You grabbed the plates, threw em in the cart and we were done :) easy enough)
You aren't afraid of getting hurt and the only thing we have found you to be afraid of so far is really high places. It makes you mad when you crash or fall down and we run to your rescue. You HATE being babied in ways like that!
You would rather sit and watch Friday night lights or some random skateboard clips on dads iphone rather than watching kid cartoons. You do still love a good cartoon though. Barney at the present time. It changes often.
You love to play with your sister whom you have nicknamed "NEN NEN" and have an imagination that is beyond belief. I didn't think little boys liked to play pretend things, especially at a young age, but you do it so well! (I thank sister for this)
You are so sweet and loving to your little brother, and it melts my heart when you give him hugs and kisses randomly. You love to help feed him bottles and give him his paci. I know someday you two will be best of buds. And I cant wait :)
You love to "Hewp" with anything and everything and are very independent in most everything you do! The final result is usually a mess, but I'd rather you be happy and learn than to have a spotless house.
You love to read books and sing songs. You don't really know any words to songs, at least that you can say. but you know the tunes and the pictures of books.
You are your dads shadow! You love to go anywhere dad is going or do anything dad is doing. Not only are we lucky to have you, but you are SO lucky to have your daddy! He would give you the world! He loves you so much, and follows you everywhere you want to go! (maybe you could give dad some scooter and skateboard lessons haha. I have seen him crash a few times :) )
You are speaking alot more lately! Sometimes you randomly say things we didn't know you could say. Your vocabulary is quite large, but most people probly wouldn't know what you are saying. lately it has been "DO DAT" (like I said, you are very independent) You still will randomly make up a sign for a word you don't want to say. I love all the little signs you have made up to communicate with. You are a smart little boy!
You are going to eat us out of house and home and me and your dad joke all the time at what it will be like when you and your brother are teenagers, cuz we already can't keep the house stocked enough for you!
You hate being left out of the neighborhood kid games, or any even that is going on around you. You are always right there playing with the kids even if they are 5 years older than you. Mommy especially likes this. We love sitting outside in our camp chairs as a daily ritual, watching you ride your scooter and now skateboard up and down the driveway and sidewalks.
You outweigh your sister by 4 pounds. You weigh 36 pounds and wear 4-5t clothes. Shoe size 8-9. but we are perfectly ok with that :)
Im pretty sure little boys don't come more hard core than you, but at the same time as sweet as you! You are always on the go, smart, sweet, loving, big, athletic, sneaky, such a tease, but so loving. I wouldnt trade you for the world, and I know your dad wouldnt either! We love having you in our family! We can't wait for many more Birthdays to come.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOLTEN
For Koltens birthday all Luke has been wanting to get him was a skateboard. I have been against buying him a skateboard for a really long time! When i think of skateboards, I think of a broken arm. So I was not about to BUY him a skateboard just so he could get hurt on it. Plus they aren't the cheapest toy on the shelf. Finally one day, after a huge fit about not having a skateboard, I caved and we took him to a skateboard shop. He walked in, saw all the skateboards and started jumping up and down yelling "BWOOT BOARD BWOOT BOARD" You could tell he was happy! The nice guy let him pick out a skateboard from behind the counter and then he set it up on the counter to get the wheels and stuff put on it. What Kolten did next was absolutely priceless and I never ever in my lifetime want to forget it! He heard the guy say, ok now lets build your skateboard, and instantly Kolten jumped up and down 3 or 4 times, clapping his hands yelling "Bwootboard" with excitement. Then he ran as fast as he could over to his dad, and gave him the BIGGEST hug his little arms could give around his daddy's knees! After I watched how excited he got over realizing that he was FINALLY getting HIS own skateboard, I would have bought him 100 skateboards. I think as adults, we don't realize the excitement or joy or wants of our little kids. Kolten cant talk a whole lot. If he were 5 years old, he would tell me how bad he really really wanted a skateboard. So to know that inside him he has been wanting a skateboard as bad as he has been, and now he is finally getting one, it made my whole day! He was in awe the whole time he sat there and watched the guy make his skateboard. He got to pick out the color for the top and of course, he chose blue! When he got done, they guy handed him the skateboard and he put it on the ground and Kolten just laid on it! He had a smile from ear to ear all the way home :) Now that, I will never forget!
Happy Birthday Bud! We love you more than ever and are so glad that you are ours FOREVER :)
