TWO years old!

Aiden turned two yesterday! We didn’t do much of a party this year, but we had my parents and brother over for dinner and cake. We included some of Aiden’s favorite things…

This lion card from his aunt Mandy stood in for her.

Now that he is TWO, Aiden:
-tries to say "bless you" when someone sneezes.
-sometimes wants kisses when he gets a "boo boo." the other day he kissed his own pinched fingers and then was fine, lol.
-is wild. and opinionated. and SO silly.

-LOVES sitting faced forward in the car. Isaac may be even more excited than Aiden.
-babbles even more than before, but only makes marginally more sense.
-is a picky eater. Bread, crackers, pretzels... all good. Apples, good. Other foods... not so much. Unless they are sweet. (sigh)

-likes to spin in circles until he is so dizzy he falls over.
-is getting better at saying "hi" and "bye" to people. sometimes.
-likes the word "Mine!" even if something is not his. uh-oh.

-does not understand how to blow out candles…

-usually gives me hugs when I get home from work and apparently sometimes goes looking for me when he wakes up
-calls Sophie "sishy" now (previously she was E, and before that DOG)

-super duper loves animals. he practically comes out of his skin when he can see the neighbor cat sitting in the window.

He definitely seems to be embracing the idea of “terrible twos,” but most of the time, he’s a lot of fun to be around. We are so happy to have him in our family and look forward to learning more with him over the next year.
