Zachey's Second Birthday

My sweet boy is two. I can't believe it! He has so many major milestones this year - too many to list really. But what I want to remember most about this time is his sweet demeanor. He loves giving bedtime kisses from everything to us to his toys, to the lightswitch (really....) He does really good at sharing as long as his sister is also in a sharing mood. He wants to make sure Rylee has some food too, and is so snuggly with his "jaffy" and "bankey." One little kiss makes every boo boo better and sometimes when he's tired he just wants to climb in my lap and just sit...I love these times!

Right now he LOVES Dora and Diego. He requests them every morning (usually we only watch on weekends or when he is up reallllly early.) He is so smart, able to count to 14 in english and 10 in spanish already (sure Dora has something to do with this!) He is very musical, and loves singing along to music with his sister. Like his father and sister, he loves noodles, and almost any fruit you stick in front of him....there really is little he doesn't eat! I just love the person he is becoming and can't wait to see what this year brings!

Today we had a small party for him this morning. I got up at 3am and started some pork shoulder in the crock pot, so by 11 it was fall apart yummy. We had pulled pork sandwiches, cake, chips and cupcakes. I wanted to have a curious george theme, so we got a few small decorations and I made monkey cupcakes. I also made a grown up cake in case the cupcakes were too much :)

 --monkey cupcakes....lots of work, but very cute--



--loved the happy birthday song and he blew out his candles-- 

--wasn't a fan of the hat-- 

--kenna maybe overly helping Zachey open gifts-- 

Zachey got great gifts, a car with tools from Auntie April; big wheel and game from gona and baca; puzzles, ball and book from Millers; books from Gentrys; and clothes, stuffed "jaffy" and bookshelf from all of us. He loved the singing and blowing out of candles and did great (with lots of help - maybe too much help from big sis) opening gifts.
