It's Terrific Being TWO!


It has been almost two months since our "baby" turned two so it is way past time to post about this! After how much work it was to plan his first birthday, I thought I was not going to do it again this year! Who am I kidding though.... I love birthdays TOOOOO much to not make it a big deal! There is no doubt that we sure love to spoil this kid and we enjoyed having our families join the festivities! I decided to do an ELMO theme since this kid loves that red furry monster.


Here are some of Garrett's favorites:

Color: green
Food: noodles and fruit
Movie: Maisy or Elmo
Story: "Stinky Doggy" or Little Pookie
Toy: Elmo doll
Song: ABC's
Things to do: go outside, go to storytime, play with friends, play in the bathroom, blow bubbles in his milk, read books, dance, turn lights on and off, THROWS EVERYTHING, SCREAMING (my personal favorite!), play with KNIVES (my other personal favorite!)

Phrases: "Ready, set, set, set, set, GO!"
" Baby's STUCK!" – when you are holding him and he doesn’t want you to!
" Baby help ME" - when he wants to do it himself
" Baby's turn"
" Baby's tie" - he LOVES to wear a tie on Sundays like his daddy
" Silly ________" - insert anyone or anything in the blank
" Puppa-beantee" - his two favorite things are his stuffed dog and his binky
" Daddy's car right there"
" Daddy's HOME!"
“Baby cut it" - when he is playing with knives! :)
" STOP IT!"
"Daddy FIX IT!"


Game: Go Away Monster or Freeze Dance
Outfits: (YES, he has a favorite outfit and more than one!!!) 1. Car's Jammies from his Aunt Beanie. That kid has a meltdown every morning when we take them off and cries when then have to go in the laundry! 2. "Puppy Tote"(translation - puffy coat) - his new jacket that he got for his birthday from his Grandma Lewis.

I feel just a little left out not being invited but whatever. I guess now that I have my own baby on the way I'm not the favorite aunt!?!?! :( Love you guys!

Wow, what a great cake Trish! I love all his phrases, especially that he refers to himself as "baby." Wow, he's so, so, so cute!!! But I gotta ask, knives mom? I know us moms sometimes resort to extreme measures to entertain our kids, but I had never thought of knives!!! ha ha ha
