We've had a blast of a week, celebrating sweet Eli's 2nd birthday. It's unbelievable that this amazing being has been with us for two years now. What fun it has been.
Last year's turtle Halloween costume resurfaced a few days ago. Look at that long legged turtle!
Thursday was party prep day, so the boys and I stayed home all day. They played while I got things ready for the festivities. Eli helped me bathe sweet Amos.
Yum!
Amos' crib has become a prime play spot. Eli sets up camp in there and loves for me to put all his critters in there with him to party.
He loves the bird mobile.
We baked cupcakes for his class on Friday. He is now a spoon-licking pro. Spoon...bowl...whisk...whatever.
Birthday boy!
We did most of our present opening on our bed. The four of us would pile up there and let him open a few. Here he's reading his card from Grandma and Grandpa Decker. He LOVED the Bob card and the great puzzle. Thanks guys! This morning - which is no longer his birthday - he climbed up on our bed and said "Open Presents?" Uh oh.
He went to school on his birthday with cupcakes and crown. It was fabulous.
Today we had his birthday party in the park. It was a smashing success. I was so thankful to see how many wonderful friends he/we have made. The park was full of Eli's buddies and they all had a grand time!
Singing and cake time was the sweetest sight. Everyone gathered around him (really close, those kids wanted to be as close to the cake as possible!). and sang. He was so cute and smiley and proud.
He got the best little sheepish grin on his face while we sang. Priceless.
Mmmm cake!
Then he was back off to play!
Whee! Our tiny Eli is 2. And our tiny Amos is 5 weeks. Wow. What lucky folk we are.
