Mac turned 2!!!

Today Mac turned 2!!! I can't believe I have a child that is two. Weird! We invited some friends over. I asked Mac who he wanted and he said, "Josh, Me (Mia) and May (Mason) and Ses (Lex), funny I even asked cause he doesn't even know what was going on. So I made cookies, cupcakes and a football cake and invited the Hydes, Powells, Floyds and Reynolds over. It was fun to have some great friends over to help celebrate Mac's big day!

As soon as we started singing Mac covered his eyes and looked like he was going to cry.

Mac loved blowing out the candles. even when they were all blown out he kept blowing on the cake. Later when he was on the phone with the family and they asked what the cake was he just blew into the phone.
Mac opened a gift from the Floyds. He wouldn't rip it open, he just kept peeking into the hole on top.

Reasons to Love Mac...

-he has the best laugh. It's kind of spooky but I love it.
-he has great taste in music. Most kids his age like groups like the doodle bops but he screams in the car until, Benny and the Jets (Elton John) or Heart of Gold (Neil Young) come on. When they finish he says "momma more." I'm quickly getting sick of these songs.
- He's smart... he's mimicking me now. Which I love cause he's learning new words everyday but I'm not a fan when he tells me to "sit" (I tell him to sit when he's in time out) orhe tells me to "go fast" or "no". He's quite bossy but I guess I'm to blame:)
-He tells me every time he poops.. "momma I poop" I think he's getting ready to be potty trained:(
-When Drew comes home from work, Mac wants me and Drew to sit by each other. When one of us gets up he cries or tells us to "sit." It's sweet how he wants both of us around him all the time.
-He loves GG. He hugs and kisses him all day long. I have been waiting for the jealousy to kick in but it hasn't shown it's face yet.
-At night when we put Mac to bed. He has to give us all kisses and as he goes up the stairs he blows us kisses and says, bye GG, bye Drew, bye Mom and bye to his toys. Tonight it was the football. Then when we put him in his crib he says "GG, mom, drew?" and we say we'll tell them good night. I love this nighttime ritual.


Mac is such a sweet boy. We can't wait to see what new things he's going to do this year. We love you Mac, you make life so much fun.

I can't believe he's two already, that means Luke is quickly approaching as well. So sad they get big to fast. I hope he had a great day and I loved the list of cute things about him. It's so fun seeing kids different personalities, he's darling!

Your boys are just too cute! Happy Birthday Mac! How is it that we are old enough to have two year olds? And the football cake...adorable.

What a party! Happy Birthday bud! I am here reading your blog with my girls and they are no joke shouting, "Mac, Mac. Baby Grey!" I can't believe they even know Grey's name. You all must have made a huge impression on them in nursey and at Jessica's last week.

I am so sorry you just had to say goodbye to your parents. It never is easy, no matter how many times you have done it.

I hope the trade show went well. I tried to call you yesterday about coming VT and called Drew's when I couldn't get a hold of you. (I wasn't sure I had the right number) and he filled me in on your whereabouts. I had forgotten. Hope you had a great time.

I'll call you. We still need to plan our pumpkin party!
