On March 5, this sweet boy turned two! After a long month in February, he is finally back to himself. He is playful, running around, a good eater and overall joyful little boy. He is putting more and more words together to make sentences, repeating everything and really learning fast. He can even count to ten. He still loves to read books and will tell you which book he wants to read. He is learning to pray, which is too stinkin' cute when he puts his hands together. He was shooting the basketball last night in his room and made it. He told me 'scored'! We don't know where he learned that or if it is just from hearing us say it. We were following a tractor down the road the other day and it turned off. Michael said 'it turned' before I could even say anything.
Last weekend was a big birthday weekend. It started on Friday, March 4. I took cookies up to his daycare class after their naptime so he could have birthday cookies with his friends. He got to wear his new "2" shirt from Aunt Amy, Uncle Jameson, Jett, Kai & Pax! He loved it!!
Check out that naptime hair do!!! Must have been a great nap!!
Then we went to Grandma's to share cookies with her and he had to have another one!
Saturday, March 5 was the real birthday! He woke up to streamers hanging from his door (that he loved to run through) and this birthday banner.
Grandma called and said that she made a special birthday breakfast for the boy, so we went over there. Daddy and Granddaddy had to work, so Michael, Grandma, Uncle Marcus, Aunt Marsha and I all enjoyed the special birthday breakfast! He {LOVED} the candle!! Grandma kept lighting it for him to blow out and he even told her 'one more time!'
That afternoon (after naptime), we got ready for his birthday party with a few friends. If you can't tell, airplanes was the theme of the weekend! :)
We had his friend birthday party at the local ice cream shoppe--Scoops! Michael loves this place, so we thought it was perfect.
We even took airplanes to play with!
He loves the chalkboard wall at Scoops!!
He {loved} him some ice cream that day!!!
When we got home from the ice cream party, he got to open his gift from mommy & daddy. (p.s. Discovery Kids tent stinks! DO NOT buy this tent!!)
Sunday was the family day. As you know, Uncle Curt's birthday is March 4 so we always celebrate with him. (yes, those are baseball candles from last year....I thought I had regular ones, but no.)
Yes, Uncle Curt asked me how many more years are they going to have matching shirts!! :)
Michael got a cool house from Grandma & Granddaddy!
And everyone had to take their turn getting in the house!!
Juice and Pa gave him a really cool turtle sandbox!
Already trying to sneak out the window!!
Before Pa left, he helped us fix the door bell! He had a little helper too!
I forgot to take the milestone bear picture on the actual day, but this was Monday morning...
Michael had his 2 year appointment on Monday morning and he was a goofball going up there!!! This picture makes my heart smile!
Michael had a wonderful birthday weekend thanks to friends and family! We missed Uncle Bruce, Uncle Ryan & Aunt Maggie, but maybe we can see them soon! Happy Birthday sweet boy! We love you to the moon and back!
