2!

Hey everybody! Well, last Sunday was a big day- I celebrated my second birthday. It feels great to be a 2-year-old, I guess this means I'm not a baby anymore. Just in time for the new baby to arrive!

Anyway, before my own birthday, Mommy, Daddy and I took a drive up to New Jersey to celebrate the second birthday of my buddy Scott, who was born just a couple of days before I was. We had a great time, and Scott and his mom and dad came to celebrate with me the next day.

Then the next day- my birthday! We celebrated the big day with a party at the Little Gym, where I go for classes every Friday, where we played for an hour, before we sat down for cake. Thanks so much to everyone who was there, especially Grammy, Grandpa, Aunt Ruthie and Uncle Stephen, who came from out of town just for my special day.

Everything around me is a blur

Where'd it go?

Speaking of which, Aunt Jaime made me an AWESOME Kermit the Frog cake that everybody loved. Thanks so much Aunt J!

Aunt Francine and me- it was her birthday too!

 Then we headed back to our house to open presents, and I got a whole bunch of good ones. Thanks everybody!

I love toy trains

 Speaking of birthdays, Aunt Debra celebrates her 30th this week, and she and Uncle Jason and Cousin Joshua just moved into a new house! We went over there Sunday to celebrate. Happy birthday Aunt Debra! We kids are going to have a lot of fun in your play room in the next few years.




 And finally, here are some videos. In the first one, I'm riding Griffey the Wombat. Daddy told me to be careful, so that's why I kept saying "careful!"

Here I am singing "The Wheels on the Bus" with Grammy, while also playing guitar AND dancing. I'm a triple threat:

And last but not least, here I am excitingly riffing through the ultrasound pictures of my soon-to-be brother or sister. You can tell how excited I am:

Anyway, as you can see, I'm pretty tired:


Thanks for reading everyone. On to Year 3!
