2 years old!

Millions of people were glued to their televisions April 29, 2011 to watch the royal wedding; but we know that was a big day for a much more important reason: our little guy turned 2!!! I can not believe my little buddy is already two-years-old. How is that even possible? Here are some things you should know about James now that he is officially a big boy:

  • James is still very very silly. He loves to pretend an alligator is coming and he is going to eat all of us all gone. Jamesie also loves to pretend he is a monster and he is going to get all of us. The monster speaks in a very deep voice and runs around on his tiptoes.
  • If it moves, James loves it. He's really into big trucks, garbage trucks, school buses, airplanes, and trains. The "meme" drives all of these things. I think "meme" came from the word mailman but I'm not really sure. All I know is, according to James, he drives everything.
  • Jamesie is still very much an outside boy. He thinks lawnmowers are super cool from a distance or when they're parked safely inside a garage, but when Tom is mowing James stays safe up on the deck. Inside, James feels the same way about vacuums. His favorite thing to say about these is "owie, don't touch it."
  • I've accidentally convinced James that bugs, butterflies, and caterpillars are yucky. He won't even go down his slide if there is a bug anywhere near it. We're trying to work on this since little boys are supposed to love bugs.
  • Likes: macaroni and cheese, pizza, ranch dressing on anything, his binky, riding his bike, Dora the Explorer (they watch it a daycare), asking "why?", fruit snacks, people, jumping on his bed, Foxy, dancing, bubble baths, talking (the boy takes after his Grandpa Craig), running around with no clothes on, and cuddling.
  • Dislikes: hot dogs, naps and bedtime, and having his diaper changed.
As you can see, he doesn't have many dislikes. Jamesie is just a happy guy who has fun everywhere he goes. He's such a little peanut, and we are so blessed to have him! The world is a much better place with Jamesie in it.

Very patiently waiting for Daddy to finish putting his birthday present together.

Ready to play!

Enjoying his birthday present from mom and dad while also playing his new drum from Grandma and Grandpa. Looks like someone else is also enjoying the music set. Who knew Tom could play the trumpet?

So stinkin' cute!

Big brother's birthdays really make a guy tired.

Sweet.

"Ready for my cake!"

Yes, he had a pink cake. I was thinking cherry frosting would be delicious. I did not think it would be so pink. I have taken a lot of grief about it, and it was very embarrassing when Dr. Sayeed asked what kind of cake he had and Jamesie replied, "pink." I will not make this mistake again.

It may be pink, but it sure is good.

Everybody knows you don't have to wear pants on your birthday.

Maybe he has all the musical talent we don't have.

"I'm in the band too."
