Connor's birthday was on Labor Day, so we spent most of the day at Aunt Wanda and Uncle Bob's house. My aunt likes to spoil kids just like my mom, so she bought Connor a cute cake with Elmo and Big Bird cars on top.
These are two other cute pictures I snapped of him that day. The first one is his "cheesy smile". The second is him pretending to fly a plane.
Just like with Hayden, I wrote Connor a letter for his birthday.
Connor's 2nd birthday letter
You have grown so much in the past year. When you turned one you couldn't even walk yet, now you are running! Your personality has really shown through this past year.
You are very spunky, full of life and energy. Almost always you are smiling or
laughing, doing silly things to make your brother and Mommy and Daddy laugh too. You have very strong emotions that always show through, whether you are happy or sad. You tend to scream a lot right now to communicate your anger or frustration, we hope that once you start talking the screaming will diminish. You love to listen to music and
dance, and you love books. Right now you want to read the Ten Little Ladybugs
and Baby Einstein books every day.
You have a very loving big brother who helps teach you things. It's so nice to see the
two of you playing together. You do a good job of sharing and you already recognize ways to serve and help others. You always help people by picking things off the floor and
putting things away.
Soon you will be a big brother and I can't wait to see how much you will love your new
brother or sister. I know you will be very helpful to Mommy and the baby. You will
have the responsibility of being an example to him or her while Hayden is in school.
You can help teach the baby how to play, sit up, and crawl during this coming year.
I am so grateful you came to our family. We waited a long time, but Heavenly
Father gave us such a wonderful blessing. You are a miracle in our family and I am
thankful that we are sealed together for eternity. I love you with all my heart.
Mommy
Our cousin Norah (Ady's little sister) turned 1 just a few weeks ago so we celebrated her birsthday too. She did a great job tearing into her cake! (I still don't know what that feels like!)

Wow, Norah looks a lot like Ady. What a fun day. I love your idea of writing letters to your children on their bdays!
I also like the idea of the letters for thier birthday's. I might have to copy it!
I love the idea, too! That's one I might have to copy also. You have lots of good ideas, Ang!
