Turning Two

Well, Mr. Andrew had his 2nd birthday on January 5. Amazing how time flies!!! With Grant's surgery so close to that date and Christmas and stuff, we chose to wait and celebrate this last weekend. On Sunday we had a come and go time for family and a few close friends. I have to admit that Andrew wasn't too thrilled about opening too many gifts (I guess Christmas was too close). The crazy thing is that after he opened the package, he'd then hold the gift up and say, "Open this, open this". He did enjoy his cake (made once again by Uncle Kent) and ice cream. The cake (a combine) was a request by Andrew --- although we aren't sure he remembered that he'd said he wanted a combine. When they are 2, you just go with the first thing they say. Here are a few pictures of the occassion.

Does this look like trouble? We keep thinking he will be our broken bone, stitches, ER, etc. child anyway. Now he has roller skates (knee and elbow pads came with it). We're hoping we won't be going to the ER anytime soon. He does fine on carpet, we just won't let him loose on the wood floor or outside on the cement yet.
