Happy Birthday Reese!

Reese is TWO, I can hardly believe it, but at the same time he has acted like he's two for a while now, thanks to his big brother to show him the ropes. It's crazy how much he knows... all the colors and shapes and a few letters (or at least he knows that they are letters even if he doesn't know which one).  He can speak in full sentences, and not just repeating either, he comes up with his own things to say to tell us what he wants or if he is hurt, etc. He is also very polite; always says "thank you, mommy" when I hand him a toy or food. He can jump with both feet off the ground very well and can go up and down stairs well, usually with no assistance. He can imitate the sound of any vehicle perfectly (from the revs of a race car on TV to the puff of exhaust a bus or semi-truck would make). Reese is also still my cuddler and usually joins Mommy and Daddy in bed at some point during the night to snuggle and he isn't too shy to ask me for a hug or a kiss. I just love this little guy to pieces!

Pictures from his birthday party on Saturday:

The cool "ticket" invites


Overcome with emotion as we begin singing "Happy Birthday" to him

so shy! 

I'm TWO (but holding 3 fingers b/c that is what Clayton does!)
The morning after the party... putting together the new Cozy Coup (with a trailer!) with Daddy!

Daddy appreciated all the help, I'm sure
Got his feet stuck in the steering wheel, hahaha

From TODAY his birthday!

Grandpa Mark and Grandma Dianne came for supper and cake since they weren't able to make the party on Saturday.

Trying hard to blow out the candles on the leftover birthday cupcake cake!
Enjoying opening the present alone, at his own pace
(we left Clayton in his booster seat eating cake)
A castle! With a knight that can ride the horse, a treasure chest, and the best part, a little boulder and catapult. Both boys have already really enjoyed playing with it!
