Ethan's 2nd Birthday!





I can't believe it, but my baby boy turned 2 on Wednesday the 25th! He has become such a fun little person, who talks an plays games! I am amazed with how smart he is and how much he understands! He has this incredible memory, like I bought a Lightening McQueen figure to go on his cake like a month ago, and when I bought it I told him it was going to to go on his birthday cake, and when we were on our way to pick up his cake he said, "cake, Lightening McQueen?" That just blows my mind! It was nice weather on his birthday, so we went and played outside. I was going to take him o the zoo, but he's had a bit of a cold, and I didn't want to keep him outside for too long, so we'll go when he gets better! We also went to lunch with his Grandma Margie, Aunt Sarah, and Aiden! Then we went to this great toy store called the Three Little Monkeys. They leave a lot of their toys ou, so kids can try them out before parents buy them. Ethan and Aiden played for a long time with all of the cool toys and Ethan got to pick one out! He picked this rocket launcher, that has a pump that you jump on to make the rocket shoot up. Every time he shot the rocket up and it would hit the ceiling he would say, "did you see that?!" After the toy store we went home and decorated (Ethan was, of course very excited about the balloons), and PJ got Ethan in the tub, which is Ethan's new favorite thing! We went and picked up his cake, and the ice cream, and PJ picked up pizza, o that we would be ready for his party! A lot of family and friends came and Ethan, of course, loved all of the attention he was given! He really is a people person, and likes to show off a bit when there's a crowd watching him! We ate pizza, with salad, and fruit (thanks to my awesome mom who brought the salads), and then watched Ethan open his mountain of presents! He was so cute about it, he didn't want any help, and if he thought I was going to he would tell me no. Then we had cake and ice cream, and Ethan loved when everybody sang to him! He blew out his candle all by himself, and was so excited when everybody cheered! He ate a little cake and ice cream, but maily wanted to play with hi new toys and his friend Justin who was there! So he spent most of the night running around, chasing balloons with him! After people left, he would bring me his toys and say "Open it?" so that he could get them out of the package! We let him open a few that night, but he was pretty worn out from the long day, so he went to bed pretty quick! I was so happy to see my little guy have a fun time, I think that's all you can ask for as a parent! I really appreciate everyone who was able to come and make it special for him! He's obviously a very loved kid! We have enjoyed every second with him, and I am so excited to continue to watch him grow over this next year!
