Happy Birthday to Andrew!

I just wanted to share about Andrew's birthday today! He was so excited to be turning two years old! He can tell you how old he is and his favorite part of birthday is birthday cake. He has been talking about birthday cake all day today. I think the past few weeks of more activity and more time at home and less daily routine finally caught up with him today too. To say he has been hyper has been an understatement. The thing is that he is so cute about it! I think he got put in time-out more today than he has in his entire life up to this point... and I think he started to see it as a game too. After the 2nd time of getting put in time-out because of standing on his tricycle seat he came to me and told me he needed to go to time-out because "I stood up tricycle!". Way too much excitement here for one day! Anyway... the day ended well. Oh, and while we were at my mom's last weekend Andrew slept on a twin bed and did great! We've had a toddler bed put away that someone gave to us so tonight was Andrew's first night in a big (or at least toddler which is plenty big for now!) bed. I didn't know last night that it was his last night in his crib though... why do all of these firsts always sneak up on me? Anyway, he is sound asleep right now so I am glad that that next step is going great!

Birthday Party

Andrew had a party in Nashville this weekend at my sister's house. He had so much fun (and he did great considering he didn't take a nap all day!). He is a pro at opening presents now. He can tell you he is 2 and he was really excited about birthday cake. He was smiling from ear to ear when everyone was singing happy birthday to him! Here are a few pictures!

This is from last Thursday night before we went to Nashville. We let Andrew open up his birthday presents from VA and MD then (plus some Christmas!). Enjoy the pics and video!

This was from Christmas day... Chad and I heard Andrew talking and turned around and he was sitting on his tricycle reading Polar Bear, Polar Bear What Do You Hear?. Well, the video on that one wasn't great but I took this one later in the day. I just think it is amazing that he remembers all of the animals and can say those big animal names!
