Cael is TWO!!!

I cannot imagine any greater instant benchmarking than following the timeline of your child's life.  The instant comparisons between weeks, then months and finally years of life are mind-blowing when matched up against the sweet little life that is unfolding before your eyes.

Zac and I have marvelled at our toddler as his second birthday approached.  We've loved, learned and stretched so much in his lifetime and we are grateful for the beautiful course our life has taken with the addition of our littlest family member.

The wild and crazy road has been exhillarating as we watched this sleepy little guy ...


grow into this loving, smart, funny, busy, happy 2 year old.

 
We've had a lot of fun celebrating Cael's birthday over a couple of weeks.  We hosted family and friends for a little party before his actual birth date.  Cael loved the balloons ...
 
 
... and the pinata contents ... 
 
 
... and the cupcakes ...
 
 
 ... especially the cupcakes!
 
 
Did I mention that he loved the balloons?
 
 
The balloons were the gift that kept giving before breakfast the next day ...
 
 
... and while playing in his tent.
 
 
Even Scrappy got in on the balloon action (although she did not let it distract her from monitoring Cael's snack).
 

 
Cael got the hang of presents at Christmas so he was quite excited to open a few gifts on his big day.
 
 
 
 
He thoroughly checked out his new loot ... reading a book ...
 
 
... testing out his new vehicles ...
 
 
... and breaking in his suitcase.
 
 
He is already showing signs of being a very efficient packer, just like mom and dad!
 
 
Cael's birthday was topped off with meatloaf (a big time favorite for Cael) and then ice cream.
 
 
And maybe a cookie or two!
 
 
Celebrating our little guy was a lot of fun and we're excited (and only slightly terrified) to see what excitement lies ahead for our 2 year old!
