Alex Turns 2!

 While we were on vacation Alex turned two years old.  So as soon as we got back in town we celebrated.  I can hardly believe Alex has been with us for two years now.  It was been so much fun watching him grow and learn.  He has developed a hilarious personality and is such as sweet, loving child.  I can't wait to see how he changes in the next year. 

Our families were kind enough to join us for a little party.  We opened presents and ate cake and ice cream. 

Another birthday means another amazing cake from Brandon.  Alex loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and because of our recent trip to Disneyland we decided to do a Mickey themed cake.  We found the idea on Pinterest and Brandon did all the work from there.  It turned out amazing!

Alex is still working on being able to hold just two fingers up.  It is cute to watch him try and figure it out. 

I thought it was fun to compare his first birthday to this year.  I was surprised at how similar he looks to a year ago.  Although, I was sure glad he got a lot less messy this year.  He mostly enjoyed chewing on the fondant rather than eating actual cake. 

 This was one of the few toys we let Alex play with before it was off to bed.  He loves all things Toy Story and loves his new Woody Doll.  Alex also got a Slinky Dog (shown in the background), a basketball hoop, baseball tee and mitt, a Toy Story Memory Game, a bubble machine, and even some prizes from Disneyland from his Aunts and Uncles.  All in all it was a great birthday! 

Here we are singing Happy Birthday to Alex.  I love this video because it shows all the love and support we get from our families.  It was so great that we could all be together to celebrate our little guy.
