Happy Birthday Walker!

The Big Boy Bed

Today my precious baby boy turns 2. It is hard to put into words how fast the time has flown by. He is such a little boy now; all signs of my baby have faded.

He is our little politician, who always has something to say. His favorite phrases lately are: "How 'bout _____ (some cookies, a waffle, go shoppin, etc.)" "I sure did." "He's all done (to take a toy away from Eli)" "I wonder where _____ (Walker, Eli, my shoes, etc.) is" and many, many more.

He had his two year check up this morning and everything went great. Then we headed to Target to let him pick out a prize. He is so good at putting stuff back before we leave a store and not demanding anything, that he kept putting back the items he had picked up. He doesn't even know how to pick out toy to take home. He did finally settle on a set of trucks. It is probably the last thing we need around here, but hey, it is his birthday.

We came home and got the cupcakes going. When he woke up from his nap he "helped" to ice the cupcakes and add the sprinkles. There was some taste testing as well.
MMM...Cupcakes

Yummy

He is playing with his new trucks and on his new big boy bed. That is his really present from us, all the bedding on his new bed. My wonderful grandparents Brown gave us two twin beds to use for the boys and we set Walker's up last night. He climbed right up and laid down, but he still hasn't actually slept in it. We will see if we can make progress on that this week.

Tonight we will head out for some Italian for dinner; Walker loves just about anything Italian. We will have the big family party this weekend and repeat the whole cake and presents experience.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful little boy, who is growing up way to fast!
