Christian is 2!

Our sweet little boy turned 2 last month ! He is so much fun to have in the house. He loves to tease (especially Andrew), takes everything Mary ever touches, doesn't eat enough to keep a bird alive, and is the light of our family. You can't take things too seriously when Christian is involved, he instantly lights up the room when he walks in and just makes everything more fun. Just before his birthday he started weekly speech therapy sessions. When he turned 2 he could still only say a handful of words and was speaking at the level of a 12-month-old. Just 2 months later he is now speaking in simple sentences and communicates quite well. We love this little guy!

We went to McD's for his big birthday dinner. It's practically the only food he'll actually eat.



When we got home we had cake. I'm really embarrassed about this cake, and was completely annoyed about it at his party. But I was up with stinky Mary who had an ear infection (she's now headed for tubes, btw) and barely got any decorations up and a cake done at all. That whole week I was averaging about 2 1/2 hours of sleep a night. Poor Christian and his un-decorated birthday cake.




Can't you tell she's miserable??


Then the presents. This was a highlight, since he'd just learned a week earlier at Christmas about the joys of ripping open presents and finding new toys inside.





Happy 2nd Birthday Christian!
