zugezoo: Eee Eee Ooo Ooo! Our Little Monkey turned 2!!

Alton turned 2 this month! Can't believe what a big boy he's turning into:) He moved into the 2 year old room at daycare last week. Since he's moved into the new bigger room he's been starting to talk more:) Might be a peer motivation thing. Whatever it is, I'm happy about it! He loves cars, tractors and anything with wheels that he can push around. He's still a daddy's boy and is smitten with his daddy! He loves mama, sissy and Amber too but we all turn invisible when daddy gets home from work and Alton sprints to the door to meet him and is glued to his side for the rest of the evening. It's adorable to watch:)
Alton's favorite foods are fruit, cheese and any kind of meat! I can't get him to eat a single vegetable. Not even corn on the cob which barely even qualifies as a vegetable. Just last week we stopped giving him bedtime bottles and it was sad for me. Bed time bottle routine is one of the only times that he sits still and lets you cuddle him. We kept up his bedtime bottle until he turned 2 as part of the bonding process, just like we did with Athena.

Here is a picture of him on his actual birthday morning:) Looking handsome as usual!

His monkey cupcakes that mommy and Athena made.

He thought they were pretty delicious. He mostly just licked the frosting off of his though because he loved all of the food we made for his party and he just ate and ate and was pretty stuffed at this point. We had all his favorite foods-fruit salad, home made macaroni and cheese and brats.

Him and daddy headed out the morning of his party to pick out some balloons and came home with this huge monkey balloon:)

This isn't the best picture, but the look on his face is hilarious. "Aww Yeeeahh. You know I'm gonna look handsome in this;)" He really likes clothes and each shirt he got he held it up to himself like this to show it off:)
