Rocky road, Rocket, Rockstar, Rocky-well, my little Rock.

Just 2 hours before this photo was taken our Rocky was the sickest I've ever seen.  Fever, vomit, lethargy, whining, crying. We canceled his 2 year birthday party for the next day (which was a big bummer since Joe just finished this custom made Oreo cake for our little cookie monster.)  Anyway, Rocky has a powerful immune system or something cause 2 hours later he was running around the house like his normal self and ready for cookies!!
We still had the party... Joe and Rocky have been having a good time practicing blowing out candles to get him ready for the big day. 
  
 I think all the practicing with candles helped improve his attitude about birthdays from the previous year.
How in the world can they grow up that fast?
 
This is my favorite face.
 





Kinda gives me a Mulan vibe...know what I mean with the shadow?


Look at that perfect Dukes of Hazard hair.

I think that dreamy far off look is him hoping for his very own 1969 General Lee to drive around.   Someday my son. someday.



 Favorite things about Rocky:
He yells, "SEE YA" as I put him to bed for naps and at night when I walk out the door.
He kisses his sister ALL the time.
The first thing he says no matter what, when he walks in the door if he's gone some where with dad is, "Mom-mom?!!"
The only game he ever wants to play or Family Home Evening is Ring Around the Rosie.
His deep voice
His goofy laugh
How he stares you straight in the eye with the blankest look when he gets in trouble.
The way he struts. Joe and I call it his 'confident walk'
How he talks to himself when he plays toys- mostly all you hear is 'baby this- or baby that'
Parents are supposed to think their kid is the greatest- and we are no exception. Joe and I get the biggest kick out of Rocky.  We think he is the dang cutest thang. I love his hair, and his big boy frame. I also love that he's got a sweet personality ie: he apologizes to others when they run into him. Happy Birthday Rockwell.  Thanks for all the happy days.
