Happy Second Birthday Little Man

So Friday was Joseph's 2nd birthday. The initial plan was to go out to lunch on Saturday as Josh was working Friday. Well, his job fell through so we decided to do something on Friday too.

I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but we decided to go to the museum at the Air Force base. Joseph loved it. He loved looking at all the planes. We looked at the planes outside first and when we walked inside, he got upset and wanted to go back and look at the "manes".




Once he realized there were planes inside, he calmed down a little. By the time we were done inside, it was snowing pretty hard outside. But Joseph still wanted to go out and see the planes. The planes fly right over our house on their way to maneuvers and Joseph loves to look out the window and watch them. Like I said before, I can't believe I didn't think of the museum earlier.

After the museum, we went to Toys R Us and a pet store and let him look at toys and animals. Basically we were just killing time until his doctor's appointment. Hooray!!! He's finally on the curve again. He's been dropping of the weight curve since he was 9 months. Finally he's back up to the first or second percentile. He's 23 pounds 6 ounces. And he's 34 inches tall. He's gained 3 inches since his last appointment. So we have this tall skinny little boy. I don't think he has an ounce of fat on his whole body.

Saturday we did some more celebrating, we took him out to lunch and gave him his cake.

Last year I made his cake. It was more than I ever want to deal with again. I spent over 3 hours and 30 dollars on his cake last year. I figured, if we ever do a decorated cake again, it will come from a bakery. So we ordered a Lightning McQueen cake for his birthday. He loved it. He's been playing with Lightning ever since.


All in all, he had a fun birthday and we are trying to get used to having a two year old around. We love our little boy and love watching him grow into a little man. Hope you had a great day, Joseph. Happy Birthday.
