Kaidyn and Andrew blast off into outer space in his new space shuttle from Grandpa Gary.

A new book from Aunt Jamie, Jeremy and Kyler

I'll have my ABCs down in no time. This is the coolest fridge toy ever and I love to dance along to the song.

Trying to get Elizabeth and Abigail wet with the watering can they got me.

My new trike!

Apparently 2nd birthdays are for Playdough and Bubbles. Andrew luckily loves both of these and got more than enough of each.

Why do children try to eat play dough? Is it because of the colorful options? Andrew thinks its icky but insists on trying each new color I open just to make sure. I know it says its non-toxic but I'll limit his playdough exposures to once a day just to make sure. He loves it and begs for it every day.

To distract him, we switch to his plethora of new bubble toys. Who knew bubbles could come out of so many different things. My favorite is the automatic bubble machine that does all the work for me. Just pore in the solution and millions of bubbles come out for hours. Smart move cousins Madison, Morgan and Mackenzie. Your mom must have light headed memories of blowing millions of bubbles too.

It's terrific to be 2!

Andrew loved blowing out his candles. Too bad the breeze made it so we couldn't even light them. Oh well.

Blast Zone!

Thanks for making my second birthday a splash!

One of the only presents I actually opened. Cousin Kaidyn opened most of them while I played with all my cool new toys. Thanks everyone!

With your thumb as the trigger finger you end up taking most of the blows yourself.

The birthday pirate!

Bouncing Cousins!

I'm really two! Silly mommy forgot to put two candles on my cupcake. But this smile was so cute she decided to post it anyways.

My new trike. A bat mobile with really cool buttons. I haven't quite got the hang of the pedals but it was nice and windy outside so all I had to do was lift up my feet and the wind sailed me across the concrete.

I love my new trike!

Andrew had so much fun blowing out the candles I couldn't get the video on fast enough. Daddy had to relight the candles...which then became a game Andrew enjoyed for quite some time. He was so proud to have fire that close and knew just what to do.

Make a WISH!
