Connor's 2nd Birthday

  Happy Birthday to my favorite little guy!
    I am in love with his birthday shirt from Vicarious Clothing.
     We had a pretty laid back day today since his birthday fell on a weekday. However, this weekend we will be ready to party with his Memaw, Pepaw, and our Italy friends. I wanted to document his birthday, so here is how his day went:

     Connor woke up at about 7:30 am. He rolled over and said, "Momma, up!" followed with a big kiss! I sang him Happy Birthday and then we came downstairs and ate cereal {Captain Crunch with berries}. This was his first time tasting it  and he loved the berries. When he ran out, he asked for more.
    After breakfast, we played with his kitchen, cash register, we colored, built towers with his blocks, and played in his tent.
    Then I got him dressed and we attempted a little photo shoot in his PB chair like we used to. As you can see in the picture on the right, he was over it!
No more mom!
It's hard to stretch in these new jeans.
    We met daddy at his work for lunch. I felt bad keeping Connor in the house all day, so this was the perfect excuse to get out. He had sooooo much fun playing.
I carried him in the Boba {...I love keeping him close...} while we walked to meet Aaron.
Playing ping pong while sitting down. Now that's the way to do it!
So happy!!
    After we were finished with lunch, we dropped daddy off at his office and came home for a nap. Connor napped that is. I started making his special birthday cookies {recipe can be found here}. They came out delish and I have a ton of cookie dough left over for his party!
     We played outside for a little while, and then daddy came home! We sang Happy Birthday to him and let him blow out his candles {multiple times because he liked it}. He didn't need any help from us this year!
 My excited birthday boy!
 Blowing out his candles!
 This is yummy.
    The rest of Connor's birthday was spent eating dinner, watching a little TV with daddy, playing, and getting ready for bed.
