There are so many words I could use to describe our big 2 year old!
Busy.
Happy-go-lucky.
Tough.
An eating machine.
Mischievous.
Into EVERYTHING!
Curious.
Adventurous.
Sweet.
Loving.
Precocious.
A chatter-box.
Our Sunshine-Boy.
Adoniah just has a way of bringing cheer to the world around him. He’s always ready for fun with a big, contagious smile and a twinkle in his eye! He makes me laugh at the things he says (or tries to say), and then makes me pull my hair out in exasperation at the things he gets into! I have learned that I cannot turn my back on this mischievous little man for a minute! He’s never still, except when he’s sleeping. Addy Boy, as we like to call him, loves to eat, loves to snuggle with his precious green blankie, loves to ride on feet-propelled cars or tricycles, loves to swing, and loves to make messes. His specialty is the bathroom where he can empty a cupboard or drawer in a few seconds flat and has been known to play in the toilet way more times than I would like to remember. He also enjoys emptying drawers in the kitchen, knocking over towers his brothers build, and zooming cars or trains around the floor. Adoniah can pitch a fit with gusto, but he is learning well to respond to correction. He is brave and fun and ready for a good time all the time! This past year, Addy has learned so many things that come with a child’s second year of life. His speaking skills have taken off in recent weeks, and it’s the cutest thing to hear him sing “Jesus Loves Me” to himself as he plays. He has a tender heart for prayer in one so young and enjoys the Bible stories we read on a regular basis. As with all my children, I pray that Adoniah will continue to grow into a boy who loves Jesus and a man of Godly character who will serve Christ with his life!
Here is my annual round-up of pictures from his past year of life:
On his first birthday last summer.
Putting coins into his piggy bank with help from Grandmommy.
He really loves his Grandmommy!
Fun at the beach!
One cool little dude.
Too tuckered out to enjoy the boat ride.
Crawling through a tunnel is fun!
First day of school for the older brothers.
Our little tag-along couldn’t miss out!

Dirt does not phase this kid.
Good thing he loves baths!
Driving cars is another of his specialties.
Playing in corn.
He LOVES to be outdoors!
Still a finger-sucking, blankie boy.

A halo for Addy.
He loves to eat! And he always gets super messy while doing so. :)
