Caleb's 2nd Birthday!

Not sure what we were thinking. We started off Caleb's 2nd birthday by having a garage sale ... so we were up and going by 0630. Ooof!!  Since we needed to be outside in order to set up, Caleb got his "mi-ah" (milk) and "oh-ohs" while he was playing.

We even made a make-shift table for him :)

He didn't mind though ... he got to ride his scooter around before it was even 0800 and that made him happy :)

The biggest hit at the party ... the stupid balloons.

Party decorations!

He got a little ambitious and pulled some presents out of the bag before we opened all of the gifts :P

Playing with Sladen, Landon and Hunter ... up and down and up and down the hill with the balls ...

Jumping in the bounce house!

Little Stetson slept through the festivities!

Caleb was pretty tired after the full day!

Playing with his dinosaur/car robot!

It was a lot of work - but worth it to celebrate Caleb's 2nd birthday! He may not be talking as much as other kids, but he is such a sweet boy and turning into an awesome helper to me :) He loves being around Piggy and Bailey (although they may not feel the same way), and always asks "Where Ga-ggy"? when Michael goes to work. He brings me Piggy and Bailey's bowls for their morning and evening meals and loves to set them down and say "Go Puppy", "Go Kitty" so they know to go eat. We got him a new-to-him twin race car bed for his birthday and he transitioned without a huge issue! Michael has only had to lay with him a couple times to help him sleep and nap times haven't been an issue at all! He loves to climb the big rock at the playground and speeds down all of the slides without any help (even racing Daddy when Michael goes up with him). His favorite books are still Goodnight Moon and Owl Moon. He finds the mouse in Goodnight Moon and squeaks "eek", and he hoots like an owl with Daddy in Owl Moon. He has great concentration when building block towers (big and small), but he loves to kick them down just as much! Can't believe its been two years since he came into our lives ... and I honestly can't remember what our lives were like without him. They definitely weren't this much fun!
