David's Second Birthday Party!

David had a great birthday party this year! It was pretty small, but everyone had a blast! My parents, both of Alan's sisters and their families, and one of our friends and their family came. Much fun was had by all the kids in the bounce house and playing all around our backyard!

David wasn't too much on all the attention that singing "Happy Birthday" brought. He buried his head in my neck and didn't look up until everyone was done singing. It was pretty cute, if you ask me!

The sweet cousins!

All in all, David had a great birthday hanging out with friends and family! Can't wait to see everyone again soon!

Our Little Man is TWO!

How in the world is David two years old!? I still feel like he was born yesterday! David is such a sweet little man! He loves to cuddle, but is also all boy! He loves his sister and wants to do anything and everything she does.

• David weighs 27 pounds, 2 ounces (55%). He is 2 feet, 11.75 inches (84%). And his head circumference is 48.5 centimeters (58%).
• You are wearing size 4 diapers during the day and size 5 at night. We'll move up to size 5 all the time once we use up the rest of the 4's.
• You are wearing 24 months and 2T. You can still wear your 24 month summer outfits, but all of your fall stuff is 2T. You have definitely inherited your Daddy's genes and are tall and skinny. Luckily, most of your jeans/khakis had drawstrings because otherwise you wouldn't be able to wear them.

• David, you are always talking, most of the time in 3-5 word sentences. You also use the word "I" correctly. I feel like so many times kids say "Me need..." but David says "I need..." So proud of your talking and vocabulary!
• At school you were so determined that you were turning three. You kept saying "I three" any time anyone would ask you your age. In fact, Mommy almost made you cry two times when I kept telling you you were only going to be two. Now, however, you say "I two," but you hold up 5 fingers... Already our little Aggie! ;)

• You are such a busy boy! You love anything boy-related, balls, trucks, noises, etc. It is so fun to see the difference between you and Elizabeth!
• You've finally started going to school without crying! It makes my heart so happy to see you run into your classroom with a big grin on your face! You always loved school, but it's just that much better now that you go in happy!

• Instead of smiling for pictures, you say "cheese." Sure is the cutest voice, but it makes it hard to get good smiles sometimes.
• We still rock you to sleep, something I never thought I would do, but both Mommy and Daddy love the extra snuggles! And we know it will be over all too soon.

• You still love to read and enjoy our routine of reading our Bible story and other books in Elizabeth's bed before going to sleep.
• You definitely follow Elizabeth around and want to do everything she does. Good thing she's a good example to follow!

• David, you have everyone that knows you wrapped around your little finger. Mommy, Daddy, and Elizabeth love you very much! We can't wait to see what God has in store for you in your next year!

On your actual birthday, we had a super fun day! We went to get pizza with Mrs. Meghan and Mallorie for lunch and then went to Chuy's for dinner (It was a special day for Mommy, too! I didn't have to cook at all!!!) After dinner, we came home for cupcakes and presents. Elizabeth got you  construction worker dress up clothes (so you would stop dressing up in her girly outfits!) and Mommy and Daddy got you some real cowboy boots. You love them, but they're still a bit big. At least you will be able to grow into them!!

Pumpkin Patch 2014

While we were in Texarkana, we hit up a local floral shop for some pumpkins. They had the most precious set up, and we went at the perfect time! We were the only ones there and a great time was had by all! David, Elizabeth, and I wound up with some pretty cute pumpkins out of the deal, and I'll post pictures of the kids pumpkins once they get them painted.
