Our little man turned 2! (And this post is a little overdue)

This post is a little overdue, as I have had a hard time bringing myself to actually blog about this. Because, blogging about Grayden turning 2 means that I have to accept that my sweet little baby boy is now a big, growing, hilarious toddler. REALLY!?! TWO!?! You mean that it has actually been 2 years since this tiny little boy entered my world??
I can't believe how fast the past 2 years have gone by. Grayden has gone from a tiny little baby to a chubby little baby, a balding old man look alike to a head full of hair young man, and from a baby to a TODDLER!? This can't be happening. This is what has came from my little 7 lb 7oz, 20 inches long sweet baby boy?





It's amazing how much this little guy has changed our lives. And I've loved (and still love) every second of it!! Grayden, we are so blessed to have you in our lives!! You bring us so much joy! Happy Birthday my sweet baby boy!!

Quickly, to fill you in on how we spent Grayden's 2nd birthday- I took off work Friday so that Rob and I could spoil him just the two of us. The morning started off with sleeping in, having Birthday Pancakes (as seen above), off to have Birthday 2 year old pictures made- (which almost resulted in a terrible, miserable, depressed mother thanks to Portrait Innovations who refused to do his pictures because they don't take walkins like they advertise they do... THANK YOU SEARS for letting us get pictures made), and a trip to the Nashville Zoo. After the Nashville Zoo playplace and a quick look at the meerkats, Grayden passed out. After naptime- we went to Grayden's favorite place to eat with all the grandparents (and Uncle Brian too)- BLUECOAST BURRITO, came home so Mommy could finish the cake. It was a near perfect day- followed with a pretty perfect Birthday Party where I want to thank everyone who came and made it such a special day for Grayden (and Rob and I too). We love everyone of you! Below, a picture of Grayden from his party and my 2nd attempt at a homemade birthday cake...(the character on top is SuperWHY- Grayden's favorite show, it's on PBSKids)
