My Baby Boy Isn't a Baby Anymore: Dex Turns 2

His personality matches his hair.  He does everything in a "BIG" way...from laughing to crying to destroying to loving - even the size of him (yes, he's a big boy).  He is all in and he's everything that we ever wanted in a child and son.  He's Dex and we love every little curly strand of him.

While I can't even believe he's not a baby anymore with his second birthday, he hasn't really looked like baby for a year.  He grew up fast and started looking like a little boy early.  He walked, ran and jumped early.  And while he's still not talking in full sentences, we know he's SO smart.  He loves attention and to be on stage and, more than anything, he loves to make people laugh.  I have a feeling, all of these fantastic personality traits will stick with him into adulthood...they're just who he is and it will be what makes people fall over themselves to be with him.

We celebrated Dex's 2nd Birthday with a family party that included trucks, trains and cars of all shapes and sizes.  Both sides of the family, including Baby Claire, came to make Dex's birthday a memorable one.  We had so much fun being with everyone and making our little boy so incredibly happy.

We ALL love you so much, Declan Thomas Whelan, and love you more and more every single whirlwind of a day.
