Bode's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Bode's 2nd birthday with friends/family on his birthday and he was so excited!! He woke up Saturday morning and I said 'today is your birthday big boy' and he yelled 'everybody sings happy birthday to ME today' haha

talking to Sissy

Making cupcakes for daycare

sprinkles... the best part

This is what happens when Daddy tries to fix something with the help of a 2 year old!

Bode was a bit overwhelmed with all of the gifts, cake, attention, etc. but overall he did okay and only threw a few fits haha

an adorable football chair that Tutu and Gampa got him for his playroom

Mommy & Daddy got Bode a new piggy bank so that he can collect the money that he finds....

.... and he immediately hit up gampa for some coinage! smart boy haha

a new monster truck

Nanny & Pap got Bode a new basketball hoop that goes up to 6 feet!! So far, we all love using it haha

playing with the new toys

One of Aunt Cathy's amazing creations.... she is just unbelievable!

Mommy forgot to get a candle :( so we just went with what we have and used votives hahaha

Bode loves having people sing to him

We had a great celebration and are so thankful for the family and friends that are close and love Bode so much.

So we are parents of a 2 year old now... and about to be parents of 2 kids. Bode has definitely kept us on our toes lately but provides us with hours of entertainment- he has his moments where he throws fits and is defiant... but most times he can be so sweet and innocent and just says the funniest things.... it kills me and just melts our heart. He has officially been in pull-ups for a week now and is doing great! He used the potty 5 times on Saturday and 5 times on Sunday and sometimes even tells us that he has to go! He has only pooped on the potty once, but peeing is a start and we'll take it at 2 years old! We are so proud.... he even goes at Nanny's and at school!! he says that he is going to teach sissy how to use the potty.... we'll see haha

thank you again everyone for helping us celebrate our big boy's 2nd birthday!! we love you all
