Peter is two-years-old

Shortly after we moved to our new house in the country, Peter completed his secondly yearly trip around the sun. Here are some fun facts about Peter.

* He is a little parrot. He will say back to you almost anything you say to him. It is absolutely adorable to hear.

* Peter loves to climb. If you leave the ladder out, you better believe you will turn around and find him at the top. He is quite a little gymnast --sure footed and curious!

* He is a sweet fiend. Maybe it's seventh-child-syndrome or some such. My first child didn't taste anything sweet until she was practically three. He's been eating sweet things since he's been able to purposefully wave his hands in their direction. He knows exactly what cookies and cake are and he will eat them, or complain until they are offered once he knows of their existence.

* Peter has a temper. He can throw fits like none of his siblings. Crying, screaming, throwing self on the floor fits. When Peter is mad, everyone around him knows it.

* He loves to do what his siblings are doing. Riding bikes? He's in. Sitting at the table, make room for Peter! Going on a walk, let him get his shoes! 

Rebekah made and decorated his cake. A pick-up truck with a puppy in the back.

Happy Birthday (last month) to my fun-loving and adorable little man, Peter. May God continue to bless you as you grow and learn and bless our lives. -- Amen.
