(taken from cell phone camera still in the delivery room)Two years ago today Caed was born about 3:30 in the morning. After hours of labor, we were happy to find out we had a boy and he was happy and healthy! Immediately after his birth he was taken for some extra testing because he was so long and big (22 1/2" and 9lbs 15oz!) but he turned out to just be a big kid! Not surprising if you know either side of his family. :)
He was amazingly alert from the first time I saw him, and is that way since then. My mom describes it that he wanted to know what was going on around him and why he was trapped in such a limiting body! We didn't know exactly what we were in store for when we took him home- but it's been amazing since!
To celebrate his birthday family came in from out of town for Sunday. We all went on a duck tour here in DC and enjoyed it so much. We had ice cream cake a day early. Today we had his two year doctor appt. and then tonight, his actual birthday, we had a quick dinner and celebrated with friends and with some cupcakes. Caed also celebrated this afternoon with a two hour nap time delay. Fun Stuff.
