Happy Birthday My Two Year Old!

 

We had a wonderful birthday party celebrating your second year of life! It was much smaller than last year, but had lots of fun with friends and family! Abú made you a sailboat cake and matching cupcakes. You were not too about the piñata, but you liked the treats! One of your favorite things form the piñata is a pair of heart shaped sunglasses!

I can’t believe my little boy is two! We went to Eugene and Coos Bay for Christmas. We all had a wonderful time with the family. Again you loved being with your cousins. You don’t believe that you are still one and think you can do anything that the older kids do. I love seeing you with your cousins! We ate lots of good food, including some amazing tamales your Abú made.  It was also wonderful for me to have so many people to play and take care of you. I have been feeling nauseous all day and after getting sick every day you now mock me with your fake puke sounds!

 

 

We had a little snow right be for my winter vacation. You were not impressed. I shouldn’t be surprised, you hate being cold.

 

 

The big thing that happened this month to you was a hair cut! I loved you long locks, but you were staring to be bothered by the hair in your face. Plus you didn’t like me brushing your hair. It’s hard to have long beautiful hair, if you don’t brush it. It was a traumatic experience for both of us. I would have cried, but you were screaming the whole time, so I had to keep it together!

Likes: Puzzles, family

Dislikes: Not getting what you want immediately! Snow

This month we traveled to Texas for Thanksgiving. It was good to see family, but it was a long trip for just a few days. We all had a hard time getting back to our normal schedule. In Texas you had so much fun with your cousins Corbin and Caia. You were sweet giving Caia snuggles, and you loved wrestling and chasing Corbin around. It’s too bad they live so far away and you don’t get to play with them more.

The next weekend we went to Sea Side to celebrate Abú’s birthday. Again you were so happy to be with your cousins. You and James had so much fun flying paper airplanes with Grandpa. You also enjoyed some time on the beach, but it was too cold for me, so Grandpa and Abú took you out.

Early November we found out you were going to be a big brother! We go you a Big Bro shirt and made you wear it to tell family. You don’t understand what that means right now, but your dad and I are so happy!

Last month Frida got bone cancer in her ribs. It was a very aggressive cancer and we had to put her down on Friday December 13. It was horrible! One of the worst parts has been you asking where Frida is every morning! We were all use to her sleeping at our feet and them coming up to say good morning once we started to wake up. It is not fun to start the day feeling sad.

Likes: Playing with Cousins, cooking breakfast with Daddy on the weekends.
