I can't believe my baby is already 2 years old. Time has passed so quickly. It seems like yesterday that I was pregnant with him. I am so greatful that God entrusted me with him.
We had a birthday party for him with his local family. We couldn't decide which theme we wanted so we did a bunch of things Matthew likes. Nemo, Cars, Dinosaurs, Toy Story, and Kungfu Panda. We had hambergers and hot dogs for dinner. We had a pinata with loads of candy. We played a Cars search game and finally had cake and opened presents. Matthew had a blast with all of his cousins and was definitely ready to go to sleep when everyone left.
Look how big my little guy is. I think he is so cute but I am a little biased.
We had a big group attend in addition to Matthew, Mommy and Daddy. Nana, Aunt Amy, Cousins Dylan, Isabel, Alexa, and Noah, Uncle Dave and Aunt Jackie, cousins Sam, Ben, Jacob, and Eden, Aunt Amber, cousins Jarred, Zach, and Isaac, Aunt Meagan and cousin Sage.
Matthew had a hard time blowing out his candle however he gave it a good try. He let out a good FFFFFFFF sound and spit all over the cake when we told him to blow out the candle.
He wasn't very interested in eating the cake. All he really wanted to do was play with the fish from the cake.
Jamie spent the day preparing for the party and didn't have time to change. We both really enjoyed the party.
I like this picture. It looks like Nemo knows what is about to happen.
The kids hit the pinata in age order. By the time we got to the older kids the plastic attachment to hold the pinata up had broken off but Nemo hadn't spilt his loot. We played "baseball" with Nemo and once the oldest got a chance to hit him he finally let loose his candy loot. It worked out really great.
Matthew didn't care for opening the presents. He was very tired at that point. We didn't end up opening all the presents that night because he was really overwhelmed.
This was about the only present he really opened. The others his cousins opened for him.
Nana got him a neat car "slide" or "weeee" as Matthew calls it.
Amy got him one of his favorite presents. Disney Cars characters.
Nana's presents finally set up the next day.
The present from Mommy and Daddy. It is a car track on the bottom and a train track above it. he loves it. When we first got it going he sat and stared at it for about 15 minutes just amassed by it.
My little guy loves to sleep. I think he is so peaceful when he sleeps and I love stand over his crib and watch him. He is a snuggle bug at night. He loves to sleep on his frog pillow and hug his jaguar and bear stuffed animals.
Matthew wincing to the flash.
We took Matthew to Thanksgiving point on a cold stormy Saturday afternoon and had a great time. Matthew loves animals and really enjoys riding the ponies. This was not exception. I loved watching him explore the world and be so excited about learning new things.
Matthew has discovered that Mommy's shoes are fun to to walk in. Whenever he finds a pair of my shoes he either tries to put them on my feet or wear them himself. This time he decided to put his sun glasses on also which of course are better up side down.
Matthew before the doctor visit. The largest laceration was right by his right eyebrow. The others were just scrapes. There was a pretty deep bruise on his forehead/temple above his left eye too.
After the doctor visit. You can see the glue by the right eye.
