I feel so baby-less. Little Buddy turned 2. He's such a precious little man--you know, when he's not breaking my nose or something. He has such a great personality and so full of energy! I have to say he makes me wish I could have another one. But, alas. I am done with babies. Thankfully my little guy still loves to cuddle--way more than the girls ever did. I love how he mimics people's expressions and tones even when he can't say the words. I love how he gets SO excited about things and belly laughs regularly. I love how tender he is with babies. I love his fascination with stepstools and finding ways to get things himself. He gets up before me most mornings and goes to the pantry, gets an oatmeal bar, and brings it to me. Or he gets gum out of my purse and chews it for a little while before he lets me know he's awake. Sneaky. We've been telling him for several months that he can have gum when he turns 2. So this was a big year. First ear infection and first "legal" gum. I got him a bubble gum bank for his birthday. Oh, and a train set. He thinks he's supposed to play with Barbies and princesses because that's what his sisters do, so we're trying to open his mind to the idea of "boy toys." He can say choo choo so we picked a train theme.
One of my favorite parts of the celebration: A BEAUTIFUL train cake that didn't come from WalMart AND I didn't have to make AND I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for. I had the hardest time cutting into it. I mentioned in an earlier post this great cake lady that I met at the craft fair I worked at. Her website is www.cakestl.com if you're in the area and need a cake.
This is the part where we teach my aggressive boy that if you don't get what you want, you just hit it harder. Hmmm... Anyway, our kids love pinatas, so this was a fun treat.
Reaping the rewards: "ollipops and num!"
I love this face. He didn't feel well, but it didn't stop him from being totally excited about every single gift. The whole world is amazing to him. Happy birthday, Little Buddy. I love you so much!

Absolutely LOVE this. That cake was really cute, and I love the colorful cupcake tree as well. Don't you love their excitement with life in general. Wish adults were more that way.
