Happy Second Birthday Peanut!

Whaaaaaa???!!! No blog posts forever, and then 2 in ONE DAY? I know, I know. But I just had to wish my special little Peanut a very happy second birthday.

This little guy, y'all....this little guy is amazing. I have been having the best time with him recently. He is definitely 2, he throws a tantrum with the best of them, but holy cow the good moments (of which there are many, many more than tantrum-y moments) are so good it makes up for the 2-year-old moments exponentially. Look at this face! This was dinner tonight, enjoying a red velvet cake cupcake:

Here he is on his 1st birthday, experiencing a cupcake for the first time...

...and newborn in the hospital on his first day! (No cupcakes as of yet here...)

Happy Birthday Presley! We feel so thankful every day that you picked our family.

 

Presley's 15 & 16 Month Photo

Yup. I missed a month. I didn't missing the taking the picture part, but the posting part. I don't know why, it is not like I have had anything else going on.

Wow, how amazing is it looking at the 2 pictures in the same post how different he looks? I just can't get over how fast they change at this stage. And it is amazing how plain old fast they are, too....

Presley's 14 Month Photo

Better late than never, right?

Do you like the Presley monster on the floor in front of the chair? We handed it to him to entertain him while we took his picture, but apparently throwing him from the chair was what was entertaining.

Holy crud, this kid is amazing. He is hitting so many big milestones right now: full out walking for about the last 4 weeks, dancing to music whenever he ears it, figuring things like building with his legos out, mimicing our behaviors and sounds without stopping to think, saying "mama" and "dada," laughing at everything all the time, and so many other things. We have been doing just a little bit of baby signing with him for the last 5 months or so, and he started signing back this week. SO COOL. So we grabbed out the baby sign book and DVD and we are singing for everything now. We started the "dog" sign last night, and he has started repeating the sign already by tonight. He seems to get more and more amazing every day.

Hope you all had a great Friday the thirteenth! We are in the middle of a giant thunderstorm here right now. I have so many fun things to share with you, I am aiming to share so SSK stuff with you tomorrow. We will see how it goes!

 

Presley's 13 Month Photo

A little late, but here's Peanut's 13 month picture! I remember the days when he used to look at the camera. Now he looks at whatever loud sound we make repeatedly off camera. Can you tell where Mr Danger was standing this month? Thing is, if we don't make wild sounds he peels the numbers off his onesie. Immediately. Like a lightning baby. It is actually a pretty amazing talent, I have to say. I thought I would add an extra picture so you can see him a little better, since this is not the best picture ever. I thought this one was cute, complete with teething drool (he finally got 2 teeth!).

Happy First Birthday Presley!

My little Peanut is ONE today! Holy moly. We have celebrated today and had a really wonderful time together as a family. This picture is all I have for you today, but I have baby attacking a cupcake pictures and a few other fun things I am going to do over the coming few days to share here with you as well.

Did you notice the birthday "1" crown on the robot?

Oh, and by the way, I realized I wrote I went in to labor on May 1st last year. Nope, I was mistaken. I realized last night I went in to labor on April 30th. Yes, how can I forget that extra 24 hours of labor? It was a grand total of 70 hours from first contraction to when I made it into the recovery room after my C-Section.

Happy Birthday Peanut! You are the best little Peanut ever and we love you so, so much.

Presley's 11 Month Photo

A little late since I planned out all of last week's posts and forgot that it was the 3rd and time for monthly photos!

11 months? Holy crud. I have an almost 1 year old. How the heck did that happen?

Not the best picture from this year, but the only one I was able to get. He has discovered the letters on his onesie and they stayed on for approximately 2 photos. Not sure what we are going to do for the next 13 months.....

 

Presley's 10 Month Photo

Yikes! It has been a week since I blogged, and what a wacky week it has been! I bring you Presley's 10 month photo (just a little late...)

Oh my goodness, I realized my tiny baby is growing up when I had to put 2 numbers on his onsie this time! If you can't tell, clapping is one of our new favorite activities now. Along with walking around by pushing our coffee tables all over the house. Fun!

Alright, someone, who there may or may not be a picture of above, is up very early from his nap so I will have to catch up later!

 

Presley's 9 Month Photo

Here it is!

He has grown and developed so much just this week. Instead of more thinking about it then going, he can crawl to anything he wants like a rocket. And he has decided that crawling isn't enough for him anymore and he has started pulling himself up on everything. Which means more head bonking, which is no fun, so I am watching him like a hawk these days. No teeth yet, but this kid is going to be walking so fast. Here's a pic of one of my favorite new things. We call it singing:

It is really more like screaming. But it is super cute. Of course we think everything he does is super cute, so I am probably not the best source on that!

Presley's 8 Month Photo

A little late since the weather has been so gross here the last two days that we have had no sun. No, seriously, no sun at all. Even at 11 in the morning! I kept holding out and hoping the sun would come out for even a minute. But no such luck. Which is why it looks like I took this picture at night. Even though I didn't.

Oh Pacific Northwest.

Presley's 7 Month Photo

7 months! Holy crow. Where the heck did this year go?

Just this shot today since this ended in The Kid flipping head first out of the chair and me diving to catch him. I did catch him but it scared the bajeebus out of me. Needless to say I didn't really feel like taking any more pictures after catching him, thank goodness I got a good shot in the first few! I have decided this is no longer an activity that can be done by one person. Yikes.
