Yup, Christopher is now 2 years old! We can't believe it either! At times it seems like ages ago that he was born and other times we don't know where it all went. This past Sunday our neighbors threw a "Welcome Sophie Party" and since Christopher's birthday was the next day, we celebrated his birthday at the same time. We had a great time getting together with all of our friends in town and were glad that Grammie and Pop were able to come down from keeping the cousins in Nashville to join us for the party. Christopher was definitely more excited about what was on his cake then actually eating it. He would run up to anyone who was not holding a child to pick him up so he could see it. What else would it be, but "worker trucks" as he calls them! We ended up cutting the cake at the beginning of the party because he just couldn't stand it any longer. After singing and successfully blowing out the candle he grabbed the first truck he could reach, handed it to me and said, "keen!" (that's "clean" for those of you who don't quite speak toddler yet) and then grabbed the rest of the trucks, quickly followed me to the kitchen and then ran off by himself to play with his new toys. It was the first time that he told anyone who came near him, "MINE!!!" He obviously wasn't going to share the toys he had been waiting so long (all of 30 minutes) to get a hold of. It was cute. Sophie on the other hand just sat around sleeping and watching everyone around her. She got some adorable new clothes and we can't wait for her to start wearing them. Thankfully she didn't have one of her crying fits, which are quicly becoming well known. We guess she just wants to make sure everyone knows she's around. (Don't worry sweetie! We wouldn't forget you!) After the party, we went back to the house to let Christopher open all of his presents. He was very excited about all the trucks, tools, basketball goal, DVDs and more that he got. We have been enjoying them all this week. The next morning we were all still recovering from the excitement and the kids crawled up in our bed (ok, so Sophie didn't) and watched a little bit of Mighty Monster Trucks before starting the day. It was so cute I had to snap a quick photo.
