Happy birthday, sweet Hunter! Today you turn two... it seems like just yesterday, we were holding a tiny bundle of you in our arms... and now, you are fearlessly jumping, climbing, and running! Time has truly flown by us!
The jumble of words that flows out of your mouth touches us to our core... even though we can't understand half of them... and the expressions that cross your precious face often make us burst out in laughter. You, my son, are truly dramatic! You are outgoing, fun, sweet, loving, and energetic.
Our lives are forever changed by the mark you have made, and every day is an adventure with you! Your boundless energy leaves us (your poor, tired, aging parents) exhausted many a day, but we wouldn't trade one single millisecond of it!
Your little lips forming a circle when you kiss us, your tiny hand gently patting our cheeks in affection, your big blue eyes crinkling in laughter when you smile, your sweet hugs, your squeals of joy, your bubbly laughter, and your fingers curling around one of ours when you lay your head on our shoulder at night are more rewarding than any parent could ever ask for.
Each night when we close the day in prayer, we thank Jesus because he has blessed us more than any person deserves to be blessed. He has given us you, and he has caused our hearts to overflow with love for you. He has given us a song of rejoicing, and he has made us so happy that we are your parents. Our prayers for you are that you may find an unquenchable, fiery love for the Lord, and that you may one day find the joy in being a Godly man, husband, and loving father.
We love you, son... and we're so proud of you, and you make us sooooo, so very happy! Continue to grow strong, continue to love, and continue to be happy in the careless and innocent way that only a child can be!
Happy birthday, Hunter!
Love, Mommy and Daddy
REVISED: Stop the presses, y'all!! My very own dad left me a real-live comment! I'm rendered practically speechless ... not totally speechless ... but practically speechless!

Happy Birthday Hunter! Today is my little man's 2nd birthday as well! I can't believe how fast the time flies!
Happy, happy birthday, Hunter! Where on earth has the time gone! You are just adorable!
Now my daughter you know of the great JOY of birth as well as the trials and tribulations of parenthood. It is all a great blessing of the Lord. It is said that ..."the child is father of the man..". Let it be so in your all's life. I am so proud of both of you - but especially my kid who was once a 2 year old delight also. Love ya - Dad
