Cheers, 2 Years!

 Berkley Aaron is 2 years old!  This poor kid woke up at about 11:30 the night before his birthday and started puking.  He didn't stop until about 5:00 on his birthday, thus we decided to celebrate the next day.  I mean, we gave him presents on his birthday but the poor kid who would have been super stoked to see a scooter and a helmet (his love for helmets is quite comical) could only muster a marginally excited, "oh."
 The next day however he couldn't wait for the party to start to sneak a little sliver of cake and since his birthday was so miserable we obliged.
Opening presents was fun this time because it was the first time that he really grasped it.  As soon as I showed him that the paper ripped and he got a peek of something exciting inside he was all in.

At 2 years old I feel like the list of things he can do is never ending!  The kid talks non-stop.  Full sentences. He repeats everything we say.  He cracks us up all the time.  He's starting to show an imagination and play pretend.  He sings the theme songs to Spiderman and Batman, he requests that we sing the Alphabet song to the "Super Why" tune instead of the classical tune, he loves Ring Around the Rosies and Once There Was a Snowman.  He certainly wants what he wants and gets pretty angry when he doesn't get it...but I guess that's his age?  I sure hope so or we've got a few trips to Juvy in our future.

Berkley we love you!  Thanks for being part of our family.

It's great when they figure out the unwrapping of presents. I always thought it silly to wrap them only to unwrap them yourself and try to act surprised.
