And he's 2!

This little baby of the family is now a big 2 year old. I noticed something pretty awesome as his "party" unfolded. Matt and I sat back and observed as the older kids brought out the cake, lit the candles, brought Rex presents and encouraged him to open them. He has a unique experience as the youngest of a big family. There are so many people for him to look up to and follow. And the older siblings absolutely love him (most of the time). They are always trying to teach him new words, some appropriate and some not. They get Rex out of his crib and high chair more than I do as well. Rex is starting to believe that he can do whatever the older kids are doing and gets beyond upset when he isn't included. He knows where he belongs and I absolutely love it. We are so happy he is in our family!

We actually celebrated his birthday a day late since we were still driving home on his birthday.
