My 2 Year Old

One of the things I like best about being a Mommy is watching Jonathan's little personality emerging more and more day by day. He surprises me and makes me laugh almost every day. With no particular theme except Jonathan's 2-year-old-ness, these are some of my favorite pictures from the past few weeks:

Jammies and "Bear Shoes"

My little kitchen helper

Feet on the table, just like Daddy

Happy Birthday!

Mr. Jonathan had his 2nd birthday last weekend. And we celebrated in style!

Cupcakes to represent his favorites:

Streamers and balloons (that are still a huge source of amusement even a week later)

Tot friendly food

Great friends and family

Some entertainment

And some super presents

Jonathan still talks about "his party" and gets very animated talking about it. Meanwhile I can't believe how fast 2 years has flown by!!

the joy of flushing

Jonathan likes talking about the toilet a lot. He has his own seat that fits on top of the real seat and for the past few weeks has been requesting to sit on it before his bath. Tonight, for the first time, he actually peed in the pot!! I think even he was surprised.

I cheered him on and, when he was done, helped him wipe and let him flush it down. Then, as a congratulations, I told him he could have a piece of candy. He raced into the kitchen after me, eagerly took the candy, ran straight back to the bathroom, and threw it in the toilet. He laughed hysterically as he flushed it down and then, perfectly content, got into the bath.

Belly Pic- 21 weeks

I can't believe we are already past the half-way mark!! Here is my growing belly from the outside... (please be so kind as to ignore the crazy hair thing I've got going on)

Being half-way not only means I no longer fit in my pants, it ALSO means that we went in for our 20 week ultrasound this past week and... we are having a GIRL!!! Here she is:
