So, 15 days ago, Lil Major (who is not so little anymore), turned two. Because his birthday was the Monday after Easter, we partied ALL weekend long.
Saturday was a little cool, but spring had FINALLY arrived. We took full advantage.
It started w/ a small party w/ both sets of grandparents. We hunted for Easter eggs, ate yummy BBQ'd hamburgers, indulged in sugar cookies and cupcakes, and opened lots of presents. Poor Major had a terrible cold and wasn't feeling all that well, but we made the most of it. He got lots of snuggles from Mema and Grammy, so it was still a good day.
helping Papa put together his new bike...
My poor boy was too sick to go to church on Sunday, so Daddy and Major stayed home and rested while I went to church with Mema and Papa. But, he definitely wasn't too sick to open his Easter basket...
And after a good nap, we headed outside for some golf lessons with Daddy and to ride the new bike.
So, Monday was his actual birthday, and we were still partying! We met up with Aunt Jayme and the girls and with cousin Michele and her kiddos and her sister w/ her kiddos -- 4 moms, 9 kiddos, and 2 baking babies (more on that later) for some fun at the zoo. It was pretty windy, but we didn't let that stop us.
And it wouldn't be a birthday without a trip to Freddy's for burgers, fries and frozen custard. Yum yum!
My little bambino turned two! He's the most amazing kid, if I do say so myself. He learns something new every single minute, I swear! He is talking so much, making sentences and putting thoughts together. He loves to read and watch Cars and drive trucks and play trains. He told us "love you" for the first time recently, and he just melted my heart. He says thank you when you give him something, and if something is confusing or unexpected, he says, "oh dear." He waits excitedly for Daddy to come home each night, and he grabs your hand and says, "walk with me" when he wants to show you something.
Oh, he is such a joy, and we love him so much...and come this November 11, Veteran's Day, our 10th anniversary, he'll have a little brother or sister for us to love just as much!
Happy 2nd Birthday, big brother Major!

Happy, Happy Birthday Major!
And congrats again on your new little one.
Thanks for posting picts...he's a cutie! I love the things that two year olds say!
I loved seeing all of the pictures. The one where he has his tongue in the corner of his mouth is my favorite. The 2s are such a special time with new discoveries and insightful words and phrases. He'll make a great big brother.
