Happy 2nd Birthday, Caleb!

Caleb turned two today! I can't believe it!! We celebrated a bit today and then we're going to celebrate more on Saturday (when Chris doesn't have school and work!) Here is some of the fun we had today:

We started out the day with Caleb's doctor appointment. He is now 36 inches tall (90th percentile!) and continues to be a bit of a lightweight at 26 pounds (25th percentile). And no shots! That's a great present in and of itself!

We played with Nolan lots today and Caleb even took a 4! hour nap! When Chris got home we went to McDonalds! Caleb enjoyed his happy meal



And taking pictures of everything:

He especially must have enjoyed that Chris finished his big mac because most of the pictures Caleb took were of Chris's empty box!

We were lucky enough to enjoy many, many buses driving by the window at McDonalds. Caleb gets just a little excited. Just a little. Things to watch for--a happy dance, and a kiss:



Caleb also got to play on the slides before we left:



As did Chris (just look behind Caleb!)



We went home and made cupcakes. Caleb had lots of fun dumping the sprinkles on:



Most of the sprinkles went right in the middle of the cupcake or on the plate (which Caleb then ate). But they still turned out great and it was definitely a lot of fun!



Caleb blew out candles on a cupcake (we're having the actual cake on Saturday). He enjoyed the cupcake...





...but not the messy hands. He's so funny about that.



Caleb was so excited for all his gifts! He unwrapped them like a champ. Thank you to our family for all your awesome gifts! Caleb loved all of them! Here are a couple of his gifts--

A truck! Can life get any better? He rode in the truck, and then loaded it full of a bunch of balls:



and dumped it (into the basket! No messes for him!) over and over.



And finally! A bike! He's been so excited about everyone else's bikes--he finally has one of his own!

Even though it was cold and dark, we had to still go for a ride around the neighborhood. He's pretty good at the pedals already! Once he realized he had a "trunk" in the back, we had to go back to the house and fill it full of cars, balls, buses...everything! Then we took all his toys for a ride.

And last but not least, here is a look back at how Caleb has changed over the last two years:

Here's Caleb just a few days old:

And finally, here are some of Caleb's two year pictures:





I'll have to post some of his favorite things that he likes to do these days on a later post.

Caleb is a true joy and brings so much happiness to our little family! We feel SO blessed to have such a sweet and loving and just plain good little(?) guy!
