Birthday Fun!

I have been slacking here on posting, but lately work and home stuff has kept me busy. So here you go!

On Wednesday July 8th, Ben celebrated his second birthday! Where did the time go? I can't believe he is two already! His Dada and I took the day off work to be with him. We had a great time hanging out that day. We went to Frying Pan Park to see the animals, ate at McD (Ben loves that place) and finished up the day getting some cupcakes from a cupcake store at Fairfax Corner. Ben certainly loved his cupcake and wanted to also eat my cupcake as well! What a stinker : ) For his birthday, Ben got a cute little tricycle complete with a little storage container in the back, because we all know that Ben loves to store and stash his "treasures" in baskets and containers.

On July 11th, Ben celebrated his second birthday party with his friends and family. This year's theme was Sesame Street. We had some Sesame Street decor complete with a personalized sign made by Dada saying "Come and Play. It's Ben's Birthday" posted on our front door with Big Bird footprints (made by Nagymama)leading to the front door. There was Sesame Street music (courtesy of Dada) playing from the iphone player and a special Elmo cake made by Nagypapa. Ben got lots of wonderful presents, but he especially liked the birthday card he received from his Grandma that sang the theme song from Winnie The Pooh when you open the card. He carried it around the house for days. I haven't seen it in a while so he probably stashed it somewhere to play with at a later date.

I just can't believe two years have passed already. It sometimes feels like Ben has been with us forever because life really has not been the same since his debut two years ago. Then again, it seems like yesterday that he was this small little 6lb 5oz baby that slept hours on end and melted for hours in his Dad's or my arms. Now he is an energetic toddler who knows his own mind and does (or tries) what he wants to do. His Dada and I love our little man so much! Happy Birthday my little man!
