Jake had a wonderful birthday! We celebrated with Grandpa Mike and our friends and neighbors. It was a bit rainy by the time dinner was being served, so we brought everyone inside for dessert. Jake was super tired but managed to enjoy some of the cake! Here are a few pictures from the party…

Jake under the umbrella with his friend...

Hot dog & chips seemed like a good idea until Jake wouldn't eat anything but the chips!

We moved inside to see if he would eat something else...

Waiting on his cake...licking his lips!!

I'm still hooked on the idea of only baking his birthday cakes. I'll see if this still holds up next year!!

We were all singing, but he was sooo tired. It was well after 8 (his bedtime is 7:30)

Who me? I'm 2?

I let Jake have the candle because I thought he would like to lick the icing off the candle, but he started eating the candle instead!
Right now Jake is talking more...and basically either repeating everything or questioning everything. He loves reading at night before bed. We can ask him to bring us a book about puppies or the moon and he will bring us one on the subject. We think he is brilliant, wink wink but we are just so thrilled he is doing well that any little thing he does is just sooo special to us. We are really lucky!!
