My little two year old :)

I can hardly believe I'm writing this post. I can't believe Eli is two! Yesterday was my little boy's birthday. Crazy.

Our day started off a little crazy. We had Eli's 2 year old appointment (and Leah's 1 month appointment) at 9am. Which doesn't seem too early, until you are trying to get a 2 year old and 1 month old out the door by 8:30. We were only a little late. I felt kinda bad that Eli got 2 shots on his birthday, but I'm thinking he won't remember it, right?

By the way...he's 32 lbs (90th percentile) 37 inches tall (97th percentile) and his head circumference is 19 in (39th percentile...that's why his hats are always too big...)

After that we went to the park with some friends. (Still annoyed with myself that I forgot my camera...) One of the moms brought stuff to finger paint-Eli LOVED that. I'm going to have to get him some finger paints :) We stayed and played for a few hours and then headed home.

Dinner was spaghetti-Eli's favorite meal. From the pictures you'd think he swam in it...but that's how he always looks after spaghetti night. Eli loved blowing out his candle. In fact, throughout the day I'd sing 'Happy Birthday' to him, and at the end he would blow. It was pretty funny.
Try to ignore the scraped off icing...It WAS his second cupcake of the day (I had taken cupcakes for all of the kids at the park, so he had one there.)

YUM!

We had a party for him in Panama City (post to come...) and will have one with Edgar's family this weekend, so his birthday is lasting all week :)

I can't imagine our life without this little guy. He has brought such incredible joy to our lives. I hope I always remember the sound of his giggle, the way he gets excited when I come to get him out of bed in the morning, the way he sings 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star', the way he gives hugs...so SO many things I never want to forget. I find myself so often thinking 'Never forget this moment'...

Happy Birthday little guy. Mommy and Daddy love you so much!
