Wade's Big Day - 2!!

Last Friday we celebrated Wade's 2nd Birthday! He definitely KNEW it was HIS special day...he was excited and bouncing around about every fun thing we did...it was so cute!

The day before his birthday we were at the store buying cake things and Wyatt said wistfully, "I'm going to miss the cuteness of Wade as a baby." Awww...

The night before, Garrett and Wyatt and I put streamers in front of his door.


 
We all came in to get him up and sang happy birthday!

 
He loved walking through the streamers and pulling them down.

 
Holding up 2 fingers...

 
He enjoyed perusing a train book, and got to choose a special video (he chose Mickey Mouse) while I got everything ready for his 2 year old pictures at Target.

 
As I came downstairs, I saw him pushing a trash truck toy importantly around the house with these sunglasses on upside down. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I a big man!"

 
At Target, with a little time to kill, Garrett gave Wade his seat so Wade could sit in the special big kid spot that Wade really wanted to sit in.


 
We got our pictures done and headed over to Chic fil A for a little in the car lunch.

 
Then by Wade's request, we got a dessert doughnut at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts....

 
Mmmmm...can't talk, must eat.

 
Garrett and Wyatt put streamers on the fan.

 
Wade was excited to hold 2 candles and helped me stir his cake, while Garrett and Wyatt also helped.

 
Doing some water coloring...Wade insisted that he do get to paint too!

 
And then Smashburger for dinner! Wade made some nice drawings while we waited for food. He is very specific about what he draws and even drew something that looked like butterfly wings that he called a butterfly. He likes to draw for a long time, with good concentration!

 
Cake time with an animal theme. Wade LOVES stuffed animals, and even "gives" them food and water, and always needs them to be with him in his crib and talks to them occasionally. For his picture at Target, we took them with his beloved Kitty.


 
And a Twilight Turtle for his gift. He was very happy to get one as G & W have Twilight Ladybugs.

 
Happy birthday, sweet Wade! We're so happy God gave you to our family!
 
Here is a video of cake and singing time. Wade is very interested in the candles, but is not sure about them...you'll hear him saying they're "not scary" several times. ;-)
