Today my little (or I should say BIG) middle man turns TWO!
I say BIG because he has always been on the “above average” charts for height and weight. In fact, he mostly hangs out in the 90 percentile! Future Denver Bronco?
On one hand, it seems like he can’t possibly be TWO already and on the other hand, it seems like he’s been terrorizing this place for eons!
I love Bents for so many reasons. He is what we call “Happy Mean”. Trust me, when he gets older, ain’t no one gonna mess with him! He can throw elbows like its nobody’s business. Nine times out of ten…when he’s being mean…he does it with a smile on his face! Just about 1% of the time he does it and actually has vicious intent behind it. But, no worries, that isn’t Bents, that is who will call “Hateful Harry”. 😉
He is my most independent child. He can get the bologna out of the refrigerator, grab the bread from the pantry and cultivate himself a nice little sandwich. He can also peel his own banana! I know that seems like such a minor detail, but P Man won’t even peel his own banana and he is 4 1/2! Ask him to go wash his hands? Sure, no problem. He can even pump the soap. When I come home from the grocery store, he immediately starts putting away my groceries. I see a great little chore chart in his near future.
I’m telling ya, he may look IDENTICAL to his father, but he definitely is Type A like mommy.
We are so blessed by his obnoxious and loving personality! I wouldn’t have asked God to make him any different! We love you Bents!
HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday Bents! Sounds an awful lot like Liam! I hope your house is sick free and everyone can enjoy his birthday today!
Happy Birthday Bents.. You have the same b day as my daughter 😀
Happy Birthday Bents!!
Happy Birthday, Bents! He sounds like a force to be reckoned with! (Eagerly awaiting the day when Jacob can make a sandwich…:)
Happy Birthday!!! Super cute pic!!!
What a sweet post.
Kirsten just peeled her first banana yesterday. Then she peeled three more while I wasn’t looking.
Ha! My youngest turns two in a few weeks and I love how you described “Happy Mean” because that is totally my Griff! They would be great pals… or you know, happily maul each other 🙂
Such a sweet post for Bents! I can’t believe he’s 2 aleady, I hope you had a great time celebrating his birthday with your family.
Oh my word, what a precious boy. Two out of my three boys are “happy mean.” Never thought to describe them like that, but you are dead on with that description! I might have to “borrow” it :). I cannot believe this boy is 2. Happy happy happy happy birthday to both Bents and to Mama, too. And could he please come over and teach my 19y0 and 10yo kids how to make bologna sandwiches? And teach my 6yo how to wash his hands w/o me hounding him? And come wrestle with my almost 2yo? I will hire your sweet Bents as a consultant. Ha! 🙂
Please pray for Tripp and his sweet mama as she prepares to say goodbye to her beautiful brave boy. Pray for peace and no more pain. Xo

Sadly, little Tripp died yesterday. Poor baby. His mother is such an amazing young lady. Her blog post just brought me to tears and my heart just breaks for them.
This might be the CUTEST thing I’ve ever seen!
