Elliott turns 2

Elliott's second birthday party was pretty low-key! He had a couple of friends and we had pizza and of course, truck cake!




As these things usually go, the night ended with a mini-dance party! You can see baby brother making an appearance back there in the first one :)





Here are a few things about Elliott at 2 so we can remember when we look back!

~ He is obsessed with cars, trucks, tractors, airplanes, helicopters, trains, etc.
~ He loves to be outside ~ running, jumping, climbing!
~ Since he has turned 2, we have found him IN the bathroom sink and found 2 chipped teeth we didn't know about ... he's very active!
~ He loves his friends and family ... he is always excited to go to Tennessee to visit and to see our friends in both places.
~ He says more words than we can count and often talks endlessly for extended amounts of time :). His words ending in -er often come out as -ey, so numbers = numbeys, letters = letteys, etc. He has stuck to a couple of his favorite baby words like bubby = vacuum and fwuvee = shower/waterfall/etc.
~ His memory constantly astounds us!! He often remembers things that he only did once or that people only mentioned once ... it constantly surprises us!
~ He is so good at learning new things! We are amazed at how he can repeat back lines from books and identify several letters of the alphabet! He favorite is "E for Elliott!"
