My little guy turns 2!!!

Saturday, Asher turned two. We had a little birthday party with him and couple friends. We went to Chuck E Cheese? I really didn't think he would like it as much as he did. He didn't even care to eat my gluten free/ dairy free birthday cake I made him with confetti frosting (yum!), because he wanted to go put a coin in the big yellow school bus or ride the pony. He loved it! Mom and Dad bought him a basketball hoop, again I thought he would not enjoy this until he got older, but lo and  behold, he loved that too! I guess he's not my baby anymore, he really is my big boy!

Yesterday I went to the hospital to see my friends new born baby, this girl came out at 10lbs. I thought she would be huge but I thought she was as tiny as could be, I think it's because my "baby" is so big now! Can you believe he started out at 7.3lbs? He is becoming such a little man. It used to be that I was the one that worried about him and was always making sure he was okay. Now he's always taking care of me. If I give him a hat to go outside, he pulls out another one of his hats "and mama" he says. If I put chapstick on his lips, "and mama" he says. When we're heading out the door or walking down the street, he always turns and round and says "mama, cmon". When I'm putting on face lotion, he has to sit in my lap and have some applied to his face. Actually he wants a little more applied to his face then just my lotion, he is fascinated by all of my make-up. I have to tell him "Well, Daddy doesn't wear this stuff, so you don't need to either." 

Some of my favorite things are when we're driving in the car and I turn around to look at him, and he's got this huge grin on his face. And he won't stop either, he just keeps smiling ear to ear until I've smiled back at him a thousand times. 

So we're headed back east to see family and do some speaking at a Mission's Conference, and I'm so excited for him to have a long conversation with his uncles and aunts and grandparents. But he's probably the only one who will know exactly what he's talking about. He's been doing that lately too, just talking up a storm, but I can no longer interpret, he's talking too fast for me to figure it out.

I know I say this every month, but I love this age and I love this boy, he's simply amazing!
