Choo Choo, Allstar is Two!

Our sweet boy turned 2 last week!  He seems so grown up.  He is a little sponge right now, soaking up all the information he can.  He's talking a lot more now in the last 2 weeks than ever; repeating every word we say and filing that away in his memory.  There is still a lot more he will grow and learn and it is so fun to watch him discover the world.  Man, we love this kid more than ever.

He is way into trains right now, so we took him on the Trax Train to the Gateway.  He loved it!  We got in the very front, so he could look out the front window and at the driver.  He was here the whole way downtown.  On the way home he was a little tired of it, and ate his snacks while watching a little.

We watched the water fountains and ate a caramel apple. I didn't want him to play in them and get wet since it was cold outside, but by the end how can we say no to playing!  So Spencer took him out to stomp around a little so he didn't get too wet.

 Waiting for the train to come take us home.  Ladybug loves to be in this front pack, just chillin'.

 STRETCHING...he randomly does this.  

I think he picked this up after he watched my sister and I stretching and working out.

 Here comes the train!  It was funny, he got scared and watched it approach from behind my legs!

 BIRTHDAY BOY!!  We had pancakes and O.J. for BK, both of which he loves.

 Extra bubbles in his bath, lucky boy.

 Mr. Potato head to take to church

 Lots of toys from his Grandparents!  We have collected the Little People stuff and now have quite the stash! We requested a Sleeping Bag and Backpack for camping and hiking!  So excited to use those.

 I made the train cake for him, using my mini loaf pans and my awesome decorating skills! ha ha.  I forgot to get my final before picture since I just finished the decorating right before people got there.  So, the kids had already picked off the cookie wheels, marshmallows and life savers!   All the kids played with the new and current toys after their sugar intake.

 After a long night it was time to put the toys away and find a place for them!  I found that little Pottery Barn red sofa at the DI for $8!  Just took the cover off and threw it in the wash.  Super great deal.

It was a fun birthday for this little man.  We love him so much!
