Second Birthday with Red Boots

Here's my little two year old. He has grown 6 inches over this last year and I don't know how many pounds. His Birthday is April 27th. He was born on a friday at 10:15pm. 7lb. 20.5"

We had a small party for the little guy. He did invite one friend(Eli). He and Eli had a ball playing on the slide and running around in the yard. Corbin has been watching Nemo about everyday for months so we had Nemo balloons and cake.

Here's Corbin in the box of one of his presents. He could entertain himself with anything.

This was also Addie's first birthday party. She slept through the whole thing.

Corbin really liked his cake this year. His little eyes lit up when he saw Nemo. He didn't blow out the candle though he just grabbed the nearest cupcake to him and bit right into the top with all the icing.

You can see from cousin Abby and Aunt Amy's reaction what Corbin thought about the cupcake. He was in sugar shock. His face was so funny. We laughed and said yum. He took another bite. He must have decided that that was not for he because he put the cupcake back and walked away. He liked us singing to him but did not blow out the candle. He's so funny.

But by far his favorite gift was the shinny red mud boots he got from Grandma and Grandpa Murphy. They bought them for when he comes over and helps with the sheep in the barn. What a great gift. He wore them around the house for the next couple of days. We have gone to the barn and broken them in. He loves being with Grandpa working at the farm. The last time we went to the farm Grandpa taught him how to hammer in a nail. As long as Corbin does not hammer at home we are okay.

I love my two year old. There is no way to express how much I love my first born son. Addie isn't quite old enough to share those special feelings but being a mother is amazing. With mother's day coming up and being a brand new mom of a new daughter these feelings are swelling. Corbin is so full of life and enthusiasm. We enjoy every day with him. I am so blessed.

Lately he has been showing these crazy facial expressions and lunging forward holding up one of his arms. It is so funny. The picture I posted of him eating the corn on the cob is a good example of what he does with his eyes. And of course in his mind if he closes his eyes and he cannot see you then obviously you cannot see him either. This is very helpful when he is getting in trouble. He can disappear whenever he wants. :)

What a boy!
