2 years old!!

I can't believe my little boy is 2 years old already! Time has gone by fast. He has learned soooo much in these 2 years....in fact everywhere I go people always tell me they thought he was at least 3 by the way he talked, the things he knew, and how coordinated he is. Cameron really is a smart little boy! Here is a list of things Cameron has accomplished/learned/done in the past 2 years (I am sure I can't list everything): walked at 10 months; learned all his colors and shapes by 18 months; can count to 8; Loves to help clean up; gets soooo excited over everything; knows certain emotions and tells me when he (or someone else) is happy, sad, or mad; favorite foods include all vegetables (especially broccoli, asparagus, carrots, cauliflour, lettuce and cucumbers...he always asks for cucumbers) strawberries, ham, cheese fries, chicken, fish, and macaroni & cheese; is an outdoors boy and has been going down slides by himself since he was 11 months, isn't afraid to try anything and will jump off of everything; Cameron is a social boy and loves to play with friends or any kids; laughs all the time; loves to sing and listen to music; wants to know everyones names and calls my friends by their names; learned to climb out of his crib and sleeps in a big boy bed now; has a fun personality and seems to be a leader (or dictator :) he loves to tell people what to do, where to sit or stand etc.

We had a family birthday party and blew up the bounce house...

Cameron enjoyed playing in it before anyone came. Good thing he got some play time in it because about 15 minutes after everyone showed up it started to rain!

Of course there was a Mickey Mouse theme and so all the balloons and table decorations were of Mickey and friends.

I made a Mickey Mouse cake. It was a delicious chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

And I made the Minnie Mouse Cake a strawberry, vanilla cake with fresh strawberries in the center layer with a butter cream frosting!

He loved everyone singing to him and blew out his candle without any help.

the cousins helped Cameron open his presents....

He got a lot of fun toys and gifts, but I think his favorite was the 4-wheeler he got from Grammy & Grampy. We had him open that last since we knew once he got on it he wouldn't get off. He was so funny and serious on it! He needs some practice learning how to steer it.

It's so nice to have family around to celebrate these special days/times in life! I am thankful to have family close by and be able to enjoy spending time together.

Grammy T came to town for Cameron's birthday and we all went to the zoo and to dinner at Mimi's Cafe.

This is one of my favorite pictures of him....I love it because it shows his little personality of how he is all the time. He can get so serious when he knows you are going to take a picture.

You can't have a birthday dinner without birthday cake/pie!

he went to town....

Jeremy's brother, his wife and their kids came to the zoo with us....of course the kids all wanted to climb on the tigers for a picture, Cameron was more interested in eating his granola bar i think!
