Look Who's Two!

On March 2nd Drake turned 2 years old! Where did the time go?! Who knows but we love this little boy so much and are so excited to continue to see him grow. I got the video camera out that morning and came in to his room singing Happy Birthday and he just stared at me the whole time, I started laughing because he didn't know what to do. The night before Jordan and I blew up some balloons so when he came out he was so excited!

That afternoon we went to the park with all of his little friends.

After a good nap we met Jordan at Toys R Us and picked out some fun toys and headed over to the mall to ride on the carousal and on the train! He loved both of them and kept saying "osee" (for horsey) and "choo choo".

His little boy happiness just made me smile.


Drake's birthday was on a Wednesday and that Saturday we had an Elmo party!

Drake did awesome at blowing all of his candles out!

His party was so cute and fun. Alot of work but with everyone's help it all turned out great! Like I said before I cannot believe Drake is now 2! He has such a HUGE personality that makes me smile. He is my little buddy that follows me around everywhere. He loves his books, naps, food, coloring, watching Elmo and Curious George, loves playing outside (especially while blowing bubbles), is great in nursery, he loves scooting a chair up to the counter to see what I am doing, loves to be chased, loves playing catch, loves his baths and brushing his teeth, loves pushing the limits, and loves giving kisses and hugs. He is one of a kind and I am happy to say he is ours.

I saw him in his birthday shirt! I saw your name on Kam's cooking blog and hopped on over to your blog. First of all, let me say I feel LAME for throwing bark at your feet at the park the other day...I did know your name, I just spaced it! Second, send me an email, I'd love to share with you a little something I've put together for taking pictures. Third, LOVE all the details for your elmo party, I love doing parties for my kids and making cakes. Fourth (wow, I have a lot to say) I've been wanting the silhouette but nervous I'll get it and be too intimidated to try and figure it out, glad to hear you are loving it!
ok, the end.
