C is 24 months

This guy turned 2.  Two-years-old!  Hard to believe and yet so easy to believe.  He's gotten so big and so able lately.
He is busy busy busy.  He runs from here to there and up and down and over and under and back and forth and hither and yon and so forth.
C loves trucks, cars and trains.  He can almost always be found playing with one or multiple vehicle.

He loves to be outside.   If the kids are outside you can bed C is too.  He's got his little truck to ride on and push around while he's out there.

Or he likes to jump on the trampoline or play in the sandbox with the big dump trucks.  He likes to take baths or showers but almost never alone.

He almost always showers with K and A.  The other day I made D wear his swimsuit and take a shower just so I could get C clean!

He also climbs everything! He gets into everything! There is no place too high, no place too safe for C to reach it.
So what better way to celebrate than with some birthday waffles (with sprinkles) in the morning

and a dirt cake after dinner?

We opened presents, which he's finally gotten the hang of opening and has decided it is AWESOME.  Let's see, he got a truck and a truck and a car (sensing a theme?) and a toy that shoots balls into the air.  (sorry about the blur -- he's a moving target!)

C is such a delightful little boy.  He's almost always happy.  He has some of the best expressions and sweetest words.  Sometimes he is so snuggly and will climb up on my lap and fall asleep while other times he can't be tied down.  He is full of love and can frequently be heard saying, "Huggie?" right before he runs into you with his arms open wide.  I feel so lucky to be his mom.  I excited to see the man he grows into but hope he won't grow too fast.  Oh, too late, he already is!
