Who told Jake he could grow up? My littlest guy is getting way too big, way too fast.
We threw him our go-to family birthday party tonight. Pizza, cupcakes, cousins and gifts. Dirt, sticky drinks, sports, and thankfully, perfect weather.
My sister took a boat load of pictures (thank you Jeanette!) and I just couldn't narrow them down.
Jake reminded us (as he does a lot lately) to say a prayer for the food. My nephew kindly helped him out.
My baby boyfriend, Eli.
He's big enough to carry his own food. One of the perks of having a big kid two year old.
We played in the dirt.
We played baseball.
And of course, basketball.
He was a little nervous about the presents.
I love this kid. He is mischievous and sneaky. He back-pats when he hugs. He waves and yell "HI!!" to every single person he sees. He doesn't say many words, but he sure isn't quiet. He is obsessed with trucks, dogs, basketball and books. He'll only eat granola bars for breakfast. He still loves to be swaddled at night. He still uses a binki, the blue being his favorite. He is pigeon toed and also walks on his tippy-toes. He doesn't really walk, he runs. He brings Ben his blanket whenever he gets sad. He loves helping with yard work and cleaning. He skateboards on his belly. He is funny and smart and he makes my heart melt and I'm so lucky to be his mom. I love him like crazy.

This melted my heart. I miss that boy so much. And that picture of him holding the basketball? I died.
I can't believe he is 2! Such a cute boy and I love what you said. You are a cute mom. What a fun party. Did he figure out what his present was?
GREAT PARTY-JAKE IS UNIQUE-THIS POST MADE HIS OLD GRANNY SHED A TEAR TOO-
He really is so cute. The world is a better place because Jake's in it.
Oh Jake! I realize he is a little young, but could we arrange his marriage to one of my daughters already? He skateboards on his stomach and helps with yard work?!? That's my kind of boy!
So cute!!!!
