Birthday!!

For Edward’s Birthday, we had a big, busy day planned out. It was a lot of fun and Edward seemed to enjoy it.

It started in the morning when we put balloon’s up on his door so he opened his door to balloons. He loved this and would probably have spent the entire day playing with the balloons on the door.

He had a great dentist appointment and was super good. The nurses and dentist all complemented him on how well he did for a two year old. Since it was his birthday, they let him pick out two prizes instead of just one. Then off we went. We headed over to the Alderwood Mall and Edward spent a few hours hanging out and playing. After a couple hours, we went to the Froyo place next to the play area and Mommy and Baby got some Froyo.

After the Mall, we had to make a quick trip down to Bellevue to check on Uncle Kenny since no one could get ahold of him. On our way back from Bellevue, someone was so tired that he took a little nap.

Mommy let him finish napping in the car when we got home. After nap, we had lunch which included presents! Darrell came down and ate with us so we let Edward open one gift. He got a Duplo Lego Ambulance from Mommy and Daddy.

We spent the afternoon playing with the ambulance and all of his other Duplos. After Daddy finished work, we opened the rest of the presents. Some rain boots from Mommy & Daddy, some puzzles and clothes from Aunt Carole and Uncle Sean, and a puzzle and book from Aunt Roslyn, Uncle Tom and Cousin Anders.

Of course, since it was raining outside, first thing he wanted to do was put on his boots and head outside to play with them.

After Dinner that night, Mommy made some Molten Lava Chocolate Cake. We put a couple candles in and sang to Edward and he blew them out before we even got started singing.

After cake, we needed to use up some energy, so Edward and Daddy chased each other around the house.

About half an hour of running around the house, we started the quieting down stage of the night. This night, Edward chose music with Daddy. So Edward got his drum and Daddy got his instruments and they played some music together.

Then it was time for bed. After a very busy day, the birthday boy got into his pajama’s, brushed his teeth, crawled in bed and Daddy read him a book. Good night to our little two year old!

Edward is 2 years today! Where has the time gone!?!?!?!?!? He is talking in mostly coherent sentences and is expressing his feelings dramatically. He loves to play at the playground and hang out with older kids. I am just amazed that my little boy from this post is now a big 2 year old. He loves to play with his toys. His favorite toys are his puzzles and helping Daddy do things with his tools. He is also obsessed with bicycles. He has stopped taking naps since he sleeps 12-14 hours at night. Unfortunately, mommy still needs the downtime, so we end up watching TV in bed while mommy relaxes. Edward watches Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and absolutely loves it. He sings along with all of the songs. He is slowly learning different songs. He sings “Old MacDonald,” “ABC’s,” and a few other’s.

On Saturday we headed out to Paine Field for their Aviation Day. We were able to see all sorts of planes up close and also got to watch them take off and fly around. Edward loved every minute of it.

Downtown Seattle

For the first Thursday of the month, many of the museums in Seattle are free. We have been going with our mom’s group. For the month of May, we went downtown to the Seattle Art Museum. After the museum, we wandered down to the waterfront and hung out for a little bit.

23 months was so much fun! I was so busy that I didn’t actually write out what he was up to and everything. So, now we are just going to post a bunch of photos!
