I cannot believe that my youngest baby here at home is TWO!!! I do not remember allowing this to happen, but it appears that amazing things are completely out of my control! Solly was an amazing newborn…
and amazing one year old…
and the theme continues with him being an absolute stellar two year old! He has changed SO much in the last year! Makes him mama a bit weepy 😭
The year between ages one and two is a big one, because the kid really comes into his own, and Solly has done just that. He learned to walk, discovered opinions about things, and learned to eat and drink most things on his own (I’ll admit I still help him with messy stuff.) He makes jokes and LOVES his siblings. He’s not much for talking, but he’s taken well to basic baby sign language, and in the last few days, his speech has jumped noticeably, no joke! He went from signing “more” only out of desperation, to making the sign while saying “mo,” and if we didn’t tend to him fast enough, verbally saying please!
Poor kid, the biggest milestone of this year has been figuring out his mad constipation issue. I’m sure he’ll be embarrassed when he reads this one day, but hopefully it won’t take too long after that for him to be thankful we did 😉 He’s three months into his corrective laxative treatment, with anywhere from one to three more months to go. It feels like a long process, but he changed SO MUCH since his physical pain left. It is worth the effort!!
Solomon is well loved by his siblings and parents, his extended family, and the amazing tribe of people who have come around us in the last year or two, just because. There is no shortage of affection for him, arms are always ready to scoop him up, and I know he is well prayed for. He is one fortunate little boy, and we are truly blessed to have him in our family. 💙
I love you deeply, my Solomon Brady. I’m as smitten with you as I was on day one, and I will be just as in love with you until the day I leave this earth. And even then some, I bet 😉 Happy birthday, son.
