2nd Birthday

Your second birthday was a blast! We had all family, we were trying to keep it a little more low key than your first birthday which was insane. We had lots of family here, you had a blast opening your presents and running around like a crazy person. I don't think you really stopped until we had to carry you upstairs for bed kicking and half attempting to cry.

I made a chocolate cake, the same kind that you had for your first birthday trial smash cake. You ate most of the piece I gave you along with some ice cream. We think your molars were coming in around the same time because you weren't eating much of anything really. That night though you were cry/fuss/cry/fuss all night long. We finally gave in and got you some motrin around 5am and I think you passed out.

The beach! New School

July was a busy month for you and we're not even half way through! We went up to your Great Grammie's for the 4th which you absolutely loved! It was a pretty long ride up and back, we could tell on the way back you were done with this whole car and travel thing. Your butt'll get used to it :)

After getting back from Grammie's we packed up and headed for North Carolina. We stayed at your Aunt Shana and Uncle Bobo's place in Elizabeth City. We managed to make it to the beach one day and the pool another which wasn't too bad considering the drives and the rain we had to deal with.

Near the end of the trip you had an allergic reaction to something, we're not sure yet if it was cashews, bug spray, or the culmination of sunscreen, ocean water, and other bits of insanity going on that day. Regardless you woke the next morning and were red in the face, back, neck, and legs. It didn't seem to bother you much, you were your normal chipper self.

The end of the trip you were starting to wear a bit, I think you're like me in some respects that if you don't get your normal peace and quiet then you get a bit grouchy ;)
