2 Years Old

It's hard to believe that my Mikey is two years old already! His birthday was January 8, but we celebrated a few weeks ago when Papa and Mimi (Aaron's parents) came to visit. Every time we told Mikey happy birthday he just looked at us like deer in headlights, but he had a fun day even if he didn't understand it was his birthday.

Mikey likes the tv show "Blues Clues." Blue is a puppy who puts her paw prints on three clues to help Steve figure out what Blue wants to do. We put three paw prints around the house that would lead Mikey to where Blue was hiding. Clue #1 was Daniel's car seat.

Clue #2--car keys. Aaron helped Mikey draw the clues in his handy dandy notebook.

Clue #3--Mikey's shoes. Where was Blue hiding? The car!

We went to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner.

And then came back home for cake and ice cream and opened presents. Mikey ate so much for dinner that he didn't even eat his birthday cake.

Hey, what's this thing doing on my head?

Mikey thought the birthday hats were pretty cool. Happy birthday, Mikey. We are so glad he is part of our family.

We had a nice time with Papa and Mimi. Mikey and Daniel both loved the attention and admiration.

Isn't Daniel getting big? Last week at his 2 month checkup he weighed 10 lbs. 14 ozs--5 more pounds since he came home from the hospital. I can't get enough of his beautiful brown eyes. They are hiding behind his eye lids most of the time.
