A day in the life of a TWO year old

Our little guy turned TWO years old today! I'm not even sure how that happened. It's like I blinked my eyes and all of a sudden he's a little man.

Long gone are the days of breastfeeding and burping and sleepless nights...although who am I fooling -- only 9 more weeks of carrying our child-to-be in my belly and I'll be laughing at this post.

Now are the days of trips to the library, swimming lessons, spilt milk and runny noses! I promise to cherish each and every one of these days that I have with just Liam. Because I know that once the baby arrives things are going to change. And I must say, it scares the crap out of me.

Liam is simply THE most amazing thing that has happened in my life, other than meeting & marrying Matt of course :) He amazes me every day with his little quirks, his giggles, his smiles and even his temper tantrums. It's sometimes hard to remember how life was before he came around.

I decided to snap some photos today of our big 'ol two year old, just doing his thing. We had a pretty normal morning & afternoon. Then when Matt finished working we took him to a museum and a family friendly restaurant for dinner. Here's a little bit of our day:


Birthday breakfast. He decided what he wanted. Blueberry waffles, pineapple, raisins and an orange. He's a little fruit addict.


Attempting to help blow up some balloons...


Watching a little Dinosaur Train...


Playing a few games...


Playing, playing, playing...


Practicing sitting on his potty chair.
Notice how Elmo is doing the same thing?


Playing with blocks at our local childrens' museum, Above & Beyond Childrens' Museum.


Steering a ship (at the children's museum).


Checking out a circus exhibit (at the childrens' museum).


Climbing through a suspended tunnel with Matt...

We had dinner at a great local Mexican restaurant, El Camino, and then gave him a scoop of birthday ice cream when we got home. Matt and I practiced our "Happy Birthday" singing skills.


My happy boys.




Flossing before bath time, then bed time.


Happy 2nd Birthday, my little peanut.
I love you!!

Busy bodies

This past weekend was filled with many things.

On Friday night we did a little yard work, had some friends over for pizza and drinks, and then just Matt and I watched a movie once Liam was in bed. The movie we watched was The Host and I actually thought it was pretty good. Has anyone else seen this movie? What did you think of it?

On Saturday we attended the John Michael Kohler Arts Center Midsummer Festival of the Arts. And we purchased a painting from an amazing artist from Milwaukee. It's already hanging above our fireplace and we're in love with it. Matt and I bought it for each other for our anniversary :) Then we went to our friend's daughter's birthday party in the afternoon. Liam had fun bouncing around with the kids. Later in the evening Matt and I went to Stefano's for dinner to celebrate our 6-year wedding anniversary. 

On Sunday we went to Kohler-Andrae State Park for a hike in the dunes and a walk on the beach with Liam. Phew! What a busy weekend.

And on Tuesday and Wednesday Liam and I took a little road trip to my mom's house and Matt's parents' house. Liam had a blast playing with his cousin Rylan at my mom's house :) 

Here are a few photos of all of the above:

The painting we got for our anniversary :) It's a grouping of birch trees by artist Vicki Strobel.

The champagne we had at Stefano's (thanks mom!).
