Birthday boy!

I'm so late to post about my little boy turning TWO!! How did this happen? Baby Carden is no more, now i have little two year old.

We had a small birthday party when my parents were in town for David's blessing. Carden got an RC truck that he LOVED for the month that it lasted. It has since gone to the dump. Poor truck.

Birthday Pie! (Josh's family tradition)

So Surprised!

At his two year old check up he was 27 lbs-50th percentile and 36 inches-90th percentile. It looks like he might have a little of his dada in him after all!

Carden just loves to scare his mama with his speech development. He tends to wait a long time to do things until just about the point i know I should worry, and then he hurries and catches up. He was still only saying one words up until about 2 weeks before his birthday, so I was getting all sorts of worried for him. But then the two word utterances started and now he's saying 3-4 words-but of course no one understand him except mama. Again, i think he just likes to worry me...

Carden is getting so brave! He used to be such a chicken about climbing down from things-now he jumps off the third step, the back of the couch, the bean bag, everything!


He is LOVING nursery. He begs to go all though sacrament. Even though he doesn't sing during nursery he is picking up all of the nursery rhymes. He loves to change the words to the "wheels on the bus." We sing the wheels on the cop car, school bus, city bus, cement mixer, yellow school bus, "mack" truck, etc. If it's something that you drive, we sing the song to it. Also, every time he sees a picture of Jesus he sings the "sunBEEP" song. SO cute.



This kid could spend all day outside. He loves helping his Daddy work on the yard. He loves digging in the dirt and making messes. I try so hard to keep the inside toys from going outside in the dirt, but it's just not working so well. He is just determined to remind me that he is a boy and makes messes! here's the proof:

ice cream, pizza, and dirt (and it all came out in the wash.)

A pair of socks i found outside. i'm pretty sure this was the first time he had worn them. sigh.
