We celebrated Lincoln's second birthday yesterday. I'm sure many mothers have a hard time when their youngest reaches each milestone. It feels like you're loosing your baby was too soon. I made Lincoln a nice chocolate cake with chocolate frosting with some cute mickey and goofy cars on it. We had a lovely dinner of Papa Johns Pizza. I had spent the entire day at a Primary Activity and frankly didn't feel like cooking! Not that anyone objected to pizza for dinner. Lincoln blew out his candle with some help from dad and then enjoyed his cake. After cake Lincoln opened his presents. Tony and I got him a stuffed animal that talks and plays songs. It's pretty cool because we can connect it to an app where we can customize what the toy says and even put in Lincoln"s name. He loves it! We also got him a Captain American action figure. He had picked it out at the store and wouldn't put it down. Grandma and Grandpa Elton got him a fun Thomas the Train book with a "cell phone" that has noised that go along with the book. He was pretty excited about all of it. Here is a cute little video of Lincoln.
Lincoln continues to be a pretty happy kid most of the time. He has started throwing fits but mostly just when he's hangry. He loves cars, trains, planes, bikes, basically anything that goes. He also loves books. His vocabulary is growing all the time and it's so fun to hear him say new words. Something else he loves are his binkies. But since he is now 2 that means no more binkies. This evening I cut all the tips off his binkies so he could see that they're broken and so that in my moment of weakness (which will probably come about 2:00 a.m.) I can't give in and let him have them any longer. Poor mommy loves them just as much as he does and it's going to be a hard adjustment for both of us.
We sure love our little guy and are so blessed that he joined our family 2 years ago!
