Carter's 2nd Birthday

A month ago this Saturday (on March 2), our little boy turned TWO! I'm still coming to grips with the fact that my little baby boy is no longer a baby....he's now just a little boy! He's full of personality and is actually quite a pleasure to be around (until, of course, you take a toy from him, don't give him more goldfish crackers, or insist that he use both hands on his cup to drink his milk...).

Thought I'd finally get around to posting a few photos from his birthday "party" (which was just the three of us...). Let's start with a few presents - this one was from Aunt Katrina:
It's his very own cape! (Katrina handmade this and it's wonderful! I have a few more photos at home that I'll put up on the blog soon...)
He also received some great new gifts from Grandma C, including a new turtle, a couple of great books, and a KU sweatshirt! (I also have more photos of these that will be up soon...)

We then had a spaghetti dinner (one of Carter's favorite meals) and then some cake! I made a strawberry cake with blue sprinkles (yes, in honor of the Jayhawks AND Carter's birthday!). He was pretty much ready to eat the whole thing:
Trying a little patience:
Time to check it out:
Not bad! A little sticky, but taaasty!
His fork went flying, so he started to freak out a bit:
...because apparently you need the fork to stab the piece of cake, duh!
Little less sticky this way, eh?
Nom! Nom! Nom!
Happy 2nd Birthday buddy. We love you!
