Tiny Dancer

Isn't she lovely?

Muckin' around

Is there anything more fun on a hot afternoon for a little man than a bucket of water and a pile of dirt?

Un autre gateau

My little wookie turned two on Thursday.



He liked my cake so much we got exactly the same one for him :) Had the candle blowing part down pat too (C was so impressed he lit the candles a second and third time for him to blow out. Yeah, and once for Princess too). We had a very very low key birthday, just the 5 of us. Wookie got a leap pad Jr (hope this means he'll leave his sister's leap pad alone) and some clothing. Opened about half of his presents himself which is a huge increase from the zero he opened at Christmas.

He's starting to act two as well - starting to voice his strong opinions, has learned the works "no", "mine" and "I try" (when he wants to do it himself - which lately is EVERYTHING ALL OF THE TIME). He's such a different boy from the miserable preverbal baby he was 3 months ago. It wasn't an overnight transition but it was much faster than I'd dared hope. He smiles a lot more now, he laughs, he plays with his sister (he fights with his sister too), he's funny and affectionate.

Happy Birthday baby, I hope the next year brings even more wonderful things for you.

Let them eat cake
