Look who's 2!

Austin is 2 years old today!
He is such a fun boy. His personality is great and he's starting to talk a lot more. We had our families over for a little hoopla! Grandma and Grandpa Pete were on an airplane home, so we missed them.
he was not sure what to do with the candles while they were burning. I told him to blow on them because they're hot. He always blows on his hot food. He blew once and that was it! He loved the frosting. You can see his fingerprints in the cake he did before we got the candles lit.

His old bike broke about a month ago and so we decided that would be a great gift from his grandparents. I love this one because the handle in the back controls which way the front wheel turns. So since his feet barely reach the pedals and most two year olds aren't the best at steering I can have the control on our walks. He was so excited! Thank you GRANDMAS & GRANDPAS!

Austin can't wait to have his friends over to play in his new tunnel! He and his cousins and brothers had a blast in it tonight.

He is pretty close to the full-blown terrible two's. He's following his older brothers' examples and throwing some fierce tantrums lately! He was upset at something last week while we were outside, decided to position himself in the dirt and SCREAM. It was a candid moment I couldn't pass up.

I took him to get his picture taken on Friday. He was great for the photographer. He did everything she asked like a robot. We got to go to the elementary school for their assembly that day and one boy saw Austin and said he is such a stud. I must admit he doesn't look this cute everyday, but I love the days I can get my boys' hair styled and dressed 'studly'. Here are a few of my favorites...

Again we appreciate everyone who remembered our little mans' special day! even great grandparents!

When did Austin get so big? -Well he's always been BIG, but when'd he get so grown up?
I LOVE those pictures. So cute. Wish we could have been there tonight. Happy Birthday to Austin. 2 already. Crazy! Love you!

Happy Birthday, Austin! Those are some seriously handsome pictures.
I also love the picture of him having a fit in the dirt. I can't help it. He's really showing you what's what. I'm thinking Tessa is in her terrible two stage as well. I'm not sure the tantrum scream could be any more shrill, but I guess we'll see.

Such CUTE pictures! You are so lucky he was so good for the photographer. Spencer was horrible at his 12-month pictures I'm too scared to take him back!

Happy Birthday Austin! You are one cute kid!

P.S. Love, love, love the tantrum pictures. Just classic. :)
