2nd Birthday!

Poor Andrew has a really crummy birthday being 2 days after Christmas. We are really trying to make it a point to celebrate his half birthdays and his actual birthday is a pretty small affair.

I made him some special "Mater" cupcakes





and got him a Mater balloon


and we went out for burgers. Pretty laid back. You can see he enjoyed the cupcakes lol.



And he got a new truck. That was probably his highlight of the night.


Random Things about Andrew at this age:
*He loves to eat - strawberries are his favorite and then yogurt. He is usually a pretty good eater but these are some of the favorites.
*He loves to sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. And do Patty Cake, he loves reading books. He will come and bring me books all of the time and he wants to read them all. If they have cars or trucks in them those are the favorites even if there aren't words. He will name off all of the different types of cars and trucks in each book. He loves animals too.
*He loves water - being December it means he just plays in the bathtub all of the time.
*He loves anything "Cars" related. He has at least 3 different Mater toys, a Finn McMissile, we bought Cars 2 and he loves that.
*He loves to watch Mickey Mouse Club House and do the hot dog dance. He loves Little Einsteins too.
*He loves to play with Colt - mainly because Colt is the only dog who lets him lol.
*He loves to say Amen to prayer. Sitting still during it is a whole different story but he has the end part down to an art form lol.
*He can name most all of his major body parts.
*He loves to watch football with daddy and yell "Toushdown" (Touchdown), and "Huska Power" (Husker Power), and "Go Big Wed" (Go Big Red).
*His vocabulary expands every day but his favorite words are still car related which I know comes as a huge shock to everyone.

We are so glad we have this sweet (and major handful) in our home. He brings a lot of excitement to the house for sure.
