Nathan turns 2!

My baby turned 2! He is not such a baby anymore, although he claims to be. He is one of those rough and tough, stubborn and dependant all at the same time kind of boys.

I made him a Lightening McQueen birthday cake, because I bought the pan when Spencer turned 2. A few days before his birthday, I turned on the movie several time so that he would know who Lightening McQueen was and actually recognize his birthday cake. And it worked. He was pretty excited.

He was so cute with his cake. We lit the 2 candles and then told him to blow them out. So he started to blow - through his nose! He only knows how to blow his nose. After a minute or so of trying to show him to blow through his mouth, he was easily able to blow out the candles. SO CUTE! Then he wanted to taste the cake. I know this isn't' his first birthday, but we let him take a bite right out of the uncut cake. He went right for the black frosting and thought it was so cool that we were actually letting him eat out of the big cake.

Then we had him open his presents. He loves to hook things up to the hook on the back of Mater, a shake-and-go car that Spencer got for his 2nd birthday. So when I saw a bigger tow truck at Costco, I figured it would be a hit. Nathan was pretty excited. I also got him a Buzz from Toy Story 3 and Nathan knew who it was! We did go see the movie at the beginning of the summer, but I didn't think Nathan would remember who it was. Buzz was a hit, too.

And now my wild little boy is 2 and as lovable as ever. He makes me smile, leaves me with bruises, and is so entertaining to watch and play with. He has gone back the his original toys, the Mater with the hook that he uses to attach everything to. And Spencer has had so much fun with Nathan's new presents. It all works out. Happy Birthday, Nathan!

And just a little side comment about the Scooby Doo pajamas. Nathan has a hard time with clothes lately. He pretty much refuses to wear them and takes them off within minutes of me getting him dressed. He is always willing to wear these Scooby Doo pajamas, so I figured it better to have him in pajamas then no clothes at all.
