Well Bryce turned two last week and I have to say that he has been the best baby a mom could ask for. Paul and Lisa (ie Papa and Grandma) flew down for the celebration, but didn't get all that they had planned for. We had them help us move into our new rental home the first two days they were here. Then we had them helping us find a new home as the house I picked for us was infested with cockroaches. We were able to get in a little pre-birthday celebration at the park the weekend before his birthday which included lots of presents from the grandparents and a CUPCAKE! Somehow Bryce associates cupcakes with birthdays after attending one such party with cupcakes. So intelligent! According to Lisa he is the "smartest baby ever!" Although we did go to his 2 year well visit at the pediatricians and she was pretty impressed with him.
OOH, a Tennis Racket and balls...guess we should go play.
And Cars matchbook cars...
Toy Story
And a Tee! Now we must play...
I think that just maybe he will be an athlete when he grow up.
On June 14th Lisa and I then had another little party for Bryce on his actual birthday and yes Bryce got another cupcake. He also got a real set of golf clubs! He has had a plastic set since before he was born (I got them to tell Ryan that we were pregnant). He has enjoyed those so much we thought that we may as well get him a set like Daddy's. He certainly loves them. After just a few swings he was waving his hand at me and asking for a glove! I got him the left handed set as that seems to be his preference for now.
Finally, I went and had professional photos taken due in part to a well-timed Groupon. Thankfully we got quite a number of good shots. I'll be getting them back in the next few weeks and will scan them in to share more. Bryce did do good that Grandma through that he deserved ice cream.
And the one shot we decided to get on CD.
Thank those of you that sent additional birthday gifts. Bryce has been loving the soccer ball, cars, and books. Thank you all for the love and support you have given our family. We miss you all and wish that we could see you all more. Hugs and Kisses. FYI Bryce and I will be in OR for the Hood to Coast at the end of August, so keep your calendars open!
