Way two cute: Raleigh baby born 2-2-22 at 2:22 is turning 2!

Now this sweet little boy is turning 2!

In his second year of life, Amari has had a year of firsts. He began walking at 10 or 11 months, ready to keep up with his big sisters.

Amari's first word was "Dada," and he loves to sing, especially "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." He's currently in daycare with his older sister and thriving.

"He's very observant," mom Jerri Pitre Taylor said. "I definitely think he's going to be somebody special. I don't think that birthday was a coincidence."

After a challenging pregnancy and birth, Taylor was so relieved her son was healthy that she didn't even realize the significance of his birth date and time. In fact, a family member pointed out the coincidence.

His incredible birthday is just one of the many things that make Amari special. A "girl mom" for years, Taylor said she always dreamed of having a son, even putting a baby boy on her vision board. A few months later, she was pregnant with Amari.

"We needed some balance in the house. There are a lot of women here," Taylor laughed.

Amari is adored by his older sisters, Willow, 5, and Ryilan, 8. He also has grandparents nearby and a godmother, one of Taylor's best friends.

With both parents working and all three kids in school, the family stays busy in their southeast Raleigh home. There's a lot of chaos but a lot of love!

"There's definitely a level of noise," Taylor laughed.

It's not just Amari who has been busy this year. Since their son was born, Taylor and her husband, Marvin Taylor, both started their own businesses while working full-time jobs.

In the little spare time she has, the working mom of three even wrote a children's book titled "When I Grow Up" and created a coloring book for women that promotes body positivity and mental health.

ALFFAA also hosts food drives and other events to help the homeless community.

Jerri Taylor said it's important to both her and her husband to make a difference in this world -- and to model kindness, ambition and creativity for their children.

"That's what I want for my children ... I want them to contribute to the world and their community in a positive way," she said. "I want to leave them a legacy [and teach them] to help other people."

It's a lot for the family of five to take on, but Jerri loves to stay busy and wouldn't have it any other way.

"I feel like our children have definitely motivated us to do better and to leave some type of legacy," she said.
