...and baby makes FOUR!: Happy Birthday, Zachary!

We celebrated Zach's second birthday yesterday with a pancakes and pajamas party! All the kiddos wore their jammies and we had pancakes, hashbrowns, yogurt parfaits, and a super yummy donut tower ... the birthday boy got to blow out his candle on a special donut this year! Zach had tons of fun playing with family and friends and he especially loved getting lots of help opening all of this presents. It was a great party and I'm so glad we got to celebrate our little guy with our close friends Liam and Lucas, and new friends that just happen to all be our new neighbors : ) And of course it's always fun having family nearby to celebrate with!
Zachary is such a fun two year old, he loves playing trucks and trains, climbing all over everything at the park and sliding all by himself, playing with big sis, scaring our cats Chester and Posey and watching them run away, and he always loves keeping up with bigger kids. Even though he's still not saying a lot words, he finds a way to let us know exactly what he wants or what he's thinking - in fact, he can be pretty bossy without saying a thing! He gets really excited about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but I have no idea how he discovered them. When Jennifer is singing he likes to try to sing along, even after she tells him to stop ; ) He entertains himself by knocking down anything Jennifer is playing with and has started thinking it's really funny to run and make himself fall down and roll across the floor! He's also super sweet, loves his blankie, and loves to cuddle, especially first thing in the morning. He's growing into such a sweet and fun little boy, we're so lucky to have such a wonderful two year old!
