Peter turns 2!

Wow. Can you believe its been 2 years??? I can hardly believe it myself. It was a good thing we had a party for Peter the Friday before his birthday because he had a not so wonderful birthday suprise. He woke up throwing up on his birthday. Poor guy! He slept pretty much all day and ate 2 pieces of bread all day. What a way to spend your 2nd birthday.

We got together with some friends for a joint birthday bash earlier and it was so fun! We had hamburgers and cake. Good times! I made Peter a Semi-Truck cake for his birthday. I think he liked it. He swallowed all the letters whole off the side of the cake before digging in to the rest of it.

Peter, here are some things to remember about the past year.
You still have a binky. Yup. That's right. I caved. You got it back because you stopped sleeping after I took it away. Even after a over a week with out. But now you are back to taking a 2.5 hour nap and sleeping from 8pm to 8am.
You hate wearing flip flops. But you love your Chuck Taylors.
You can speak in sentences, but I am not sure if anyone other than mommy and daddy know what you are saying.
You have developed a slight lisp to the letter 'S' in the last 2 weeks. I sure hope it goes away soon.
You LOVE trucks and trains. You have quite a collection of 99cent matchbox cars.
Not much of a climber. You barely figured out how to get on the couch/chair by yourself about a 2 months ago.
Not much of a jumper either. Actually, let me rephrase that, you can't jump. Sorry. Hopefully this one is figured out by your next birthday.
One of your favorite phrases- "Mommy do it" or "Daddy fix it"
You are so stinkin' picky with your food. It drives your parents nuts. Speaking of nuts, you will eat nuts. Weird. But no meat. Are you going to be a vegetarian? Your favorite food is Cinnamon Bread. Not toasted. No butter.
You call the computer a "comPeter"
When you are done with your food or a toy, you always give it to us and say "Thank You" Its pretty funny because it is your way of saying you don't want it anymore and because you are using nice words, we usually let you be done too!
You love to read. We read books all the time. A few of your favorites this week are "If you give a Mouse a Cookie" and "Green Eggs and Ham" and "The Thinks you can Think"
You can count to 12 on your own. You kind of know the ABC's. But you skip about 30% of the letters still.
TV? Ah, your most recent discovery. The most requested show- Sesame Street.
You also love church and going to nursery. You can say a prayer with mommy's and daddy's help but you will only whisper it. I have yet to hear you use your normal LOUD voice when praying.
That's just a little bit about you at 2. You are so much fun and I love you so much! You make my day so bright and I am blessed to be your mom. Happy Birthday!
