MONKEY TURNS 2!!!!!!

Can you believe he's 2!!!!!!  super super crazy!

he loves all things mickey mouse.  so i made the crushed oreos with cream cheese, rolled them into balls and then covered them in dark chocolate.  then i just plopped them on top of the iced cupcakes.  honestly they didn't turn out like i wanted them too..... but he LOVED it.  he saw them and and exclaimed "MIHEE!!!"  it was cute, so i guess that is all that matters.  

at Christmas, monkey did not enjoy the 'opening presents' aspect if the holiday.  so i was a bit worried about how it would go.
but then it went ok.  as long as i kept the pace moving along.  could let him get to attached to one particular toy for too long.  and it went well!

he liked the fact that new toys kept appearing when he opened things!  chunk was taking the pictures, and joseph had the camcorder.  not bad for a  4 and a half year old!  (i love my cheesy face!  lol but i was just mimicking his excitement...)

for the cupcakes he was happy.  he was excited, but mostly for the 'treeeeeeet!!!!'  it was cute.

isn't he cute?  he got a tricycle.  and he is always taking chunks elbow pads and knee pads, so he got some and a helmet...... he is constantly wearing the helmet.  super cute.

this boy gives me a run for my money.  everyday he gives me something that makes me laugh out loud and then something that makes me question my parenting abilities.  often times within in the same hour.  its crazy.  he is so sweet and lovable and yet so determined and strong willed.  its ridiculous!  but at the same time, he is so thoughtful and caring.  he loves to help and is a great little snuggler.
his favorite show is mickey mouse club house, and chuggington.
he loves cars, trains, and balls.
we can never know what he will want to eat.  he is the pickiest eater and it drives us nuts.  there are times he will only eat veggies, or then there are other times that he will only eat the rice or couscous or potatoes.  he rarely eats meat.  so its lucky that he likes to eat beans and peanut butter, that way he does get some protein.  but he loves to read and he loves to carry around his toy of the day.  he rotates through cars.  he also still loves to snuggle with certain blankets.  he has taken to caring them around, i don't like that. but his sad face is so sad, its hard to say no!
we love him so much.  he alone has turned our life upside down in more ways then not.  and i love it.  i love him.

it snowed here.  again.  its very exciting.  although there was a quarter of an inch of ice underneath it all.  monkey didn't know what to think of it all.  he didn't like the fact that he was so cold, and the snow was wet and cold.  he didn't like it too much.  it was kinda sad.  the kids wanted so bad to build a snowman, but the snow was really just itty bitty pieces of ice.  not the best snowman making snow.  but they enjoyed playing in it all the same!

can you see their excitement?!  chunk is excited under there, he was just determined to not get too cold.  heehee

this is the icicle of all icicles.  how monstrous is this?!?!  who would have thought?!?!
