Easton is "2"!!!

We celebrated Eastons birthday last night with both sides of our families. It was so much fun. We just served appetizers and cake and ice cream. Brandon let the kids pick out the food. It was hilarious what they came up with. We had squirt, grape soda, and orange crush to drink. Then we had orange swirl, cookie dough, and reeses ice cream..and ice cream sandwiches. And for the appetizers, there was salsa, onion dip, and nacho cheese dip! Not really my usual spread, but certainly interesting. No one complained and it all got eaten so it must have been acceptable.
Easton got his first tricycle, clothes, star wars toys, a football, money, and a tetherball set! He seriously just sat on his bike all night, he even watched cartoons on it this morning.
He was scared of his candles. He folded his arms and walked away murmuring "hot, hot, hot."
The theme of his birthday party was "Thomas the Train." He chose his cake at the store and we worked the party around that.
I still can't believe he is two. He is learning so much so fast. Here are a few things he is doing right now that I want to remember:
*he can say all the sounds that animals make
*he can already catch a ball quite well
*he loves to do the sign "peace out" and holds up three of his fingers
*he gives "bones" to everyone
*he gets super hostile when he wrestles with Chance or Brandon
*when we ask him to "shake his bootie" he puts his hands on his knees and bounces his little bum from side to side
*he just learned to tell everyone he is "two" and hold up three fingers again
*he loves to sit and read books
*his favorite shows are Barney and Caillou
*he won't go anywhere without his blue blankie

We are so blessed to have this little boy in our family. He is such a joy and so fun to watch grow. Some days I find myself just staring at him. I love those big brown eyes and super long eyelashes. He is truly a beautiful child, and we love him soooo much. Happy Birthday "E."
