Baby J turns 2!

Ten four good buddy

    My baby turned 2 today.  I can't believe it's been that long and that I already have another!  Two years ago today at this time I was laying in a hospital bed in awe of the strange creature in the bassinet beside me and wondering if I would ever be able to change that teeny tiny diaper.  Motherhood is a wonderful thing and I'm so glad that I've been blessed to experience it.
   Here is a picture of J on his last night before he turned 2.

    After J went to bed I got to work on his birthday cake.  We went with the tractor since it complimented the farm decorations.  I made a yellow cake from The cookbook (those in my family know which one I'm talking about) and I added some sprinkles to make it funfetti.  Turned out pretty nice if I do say so. 

Ready to go!

   Da made J some banana pancakes in fun shapes for his birthday breakfast.  He was a happy boy when he saw his breakfast and ate every bit, much to our surprise.  (Mama was hoping to snag a bite when birthday boy wasn't looking, no such luck.)

After some fabulous decorating by Da.  I don't do decorating.  I make beautiful things ugly when I decorate.

Happy Birthday to youuuuuu

Blow out the candles!

Yayyyy!

  I am definitely my mother's daughter.  I made sure that the piece of cake J got had lots of black icing on it so I would get a good picture.  :-)

Presents!

From Ma & Da (It CLIMBS!!!)  We may or may not have gotten this so we could play with it too.  J now expects all of his toy cars to be able to crawl up walls.

   We spent a small portion of J's birthday in the closet, he didn't mind though, he had his new toys.  He was dragging his new chair all over the house, whether it would fit or not!  I think J had a good birthday.  He had yummy food and fun gifts and the majority of Mama & Da's attention.  (Baby C slept most of the day.)

This is how baby C spent most of the day. 

    To end, a video of J's awesome new climbing car.
