Cade turns 2!

Happy Birthday, Cade! He still loves Elmo, so he had a very Elmo birthday: Elmo books, costume, chair, and cake! All he wanted was balls. We went to the toy store and all he was interested in were the balls. So he got a bunch of balls and a basketball hoop. We went to the zoo to celebrate with his cousin Ashley, who shares a birthday. He loves the animals, of course, but the whole time we were there he was asking to ride the train (such a boy!).

Poor Elmo, after he was masacred.

Cade is a happy and healthy 2 year old. He's talking a bunch, yelling "MINE" and "I got it first!" a lot, he's in the 80th percentile for height and 75th for weight. He looks a bit chubby, but really isn't. He and Zach wrestle about 80% of their play time.

He loves to help me make food. He asks for an egg every day because he gets to crack it, stir it, push the button on the microwave and cut it up after it's done. He seems to eat better after he's helped, too. Oatmeal is the other thing he requests and helps make (the instant kind). He is a lot of fun and very stubborn. I can't believe it!

With baby#3 coming, Zach and Cade get to share a room pretty soon. We bought the bunk beds, I'm just afraid to set them up. I'm afraid that they'll wrestle and giggle all night long. I know it'll be fine, but the adjustment will probably be hard on me. Wish me luck!
