How to be a Boy

The Stats Are In!

When your birthday falls on a weekday, it's like getting two parties. You get the weekend party, but you also get the party for the day-of! July 27th was Davis' birthday and we started the day off right with breakfast at Starbucks. Unfortunately, I still had to work on his birthday, but the nanny took him to Build A Bear and he came home with the most precious bear that sings "happy birthday." Then I took Davis to Learning Express to pick out a Thomas toy. I'm not sure the obsession is with Thomas, but there is a definite choo choo obsession. Learning Express is such a fun toy store and they happen to have the ENTIRE Thomas train set out on display, so we ended up staying in the store for 45 minutes and left screaming because he wasn't ready to go. The day after his birthday, we went in for our 2 year check up at the doctor. Davis is 28 pounds 2 ounces (50%) and 33 and 3/4 inches tall (30%). He had to get one shot, but as soon as we checked out the turtles he was fine. And he also got the flu mist. No big changes at this point, except the switch from 2% milk to skim milk. Apparently there are so many other sources of fat that Davis doesn't need it in his milk anymore.

And here is one of those sources...the birthday donut!

Barley Love

My mom came in town for Davis' birthday party and brought her dog, Barley. Barley is a complete alpha male and we like to call him "Boss." It's been an issue for quite some time now and we even contemplated finding him a new home when Davis was on his way. Looking back, I'm so glad we made the decision to keep him because he is the SWEETEST dog to Davis. Even Duke isn't this sweet. Davis will go in for a hug and Duke will walk away. Not Barley, he's a lover and likes a good cuddle! Note to other dogs: Barley isn't always this sweet :)

Happy 2nd Birthday Davis!

Davis turns 2 this week! Where has my baby gone? He's so independent and I swear if he had his own mini fridge in his room, he'd be pouring his own milk!

How do you celebrate in the summer? You throw a pool party! And that's just what we did!

Ann Marie made the cake! It's a FISH (but I'm sure you already knew that)...

Party Favors!

A little gold fish and juice break.

Ready for Bed

While having dinner with Forrest's parents, Davis started to get a bit sleepy. Poor little guy had been playing in the pool all afternoon and once satisfied with a fully belly, decided it was time for bed.
