Our sweet boy turned 2 yesterday! We had a great day and he loved all the attention on his "burfday".
Ruby and I made the cake while Ben napped and I successfully kept him away from it until 2 minutes before party time.
"Oh, this black stuff on my fingers....it's, uh, I don't know where it came from...?"
Grace made us a birthday list to make sure we did all the required birthday stuff.
We FaceTimed with grandparents to open their gifts. He was thrilled with all the Thomas train stuff he got!
He was so focused opening up his presents.
He was also pretty happy when the cake came and he got some for real.
Quite a spread he ended up with thanks to grandparents, Craigslist and DI :)
His birthday was so bittersweet for me. It's exciting to see him learn and grow and do new things, but it's so sad that I really don't have a baby anymore! This sweet boy is so snuggly and loving, but he's got a headstrong and stubborn streak in him too. I think this week he knew that he was turning 2 and has started exerting a more independent mind and spirit (a.k.a. not listening and doing what he wants to do!). One of my favorite things is how his cheeks jiggle when he runs. He's in the 99th percentile for height and weight, the doctor this morning was surprised that Rob was only 6' tall because she thinks Ben will be really tall! We all just adore this kid and feel so lucky that he is in our family!
