Eddie is 2 years and 2 hours old in all these photos--except for this newborn shot, where he is almost 2 hours old--almost the same time of day we took all these others. I really just don't know what to say. I'm tempted to get all sentimental, as I can't believe how quickly the time has passed, but he just cracks us up all the time, I should have a funny story to tell.
We had a quiet family celebration tonight, serving Eddie what we hoped would be his favorite foods: cottage cheese, baked potato, chicken dipped in BBQ, and broccoli with cheese sauce (lots of sauces). He seemed pleased with the menu. He also asked for pepper, as he often does. Afterwards we had a couple of chocolate ice cream cupcakes that we embellished with an 'E' and a '2'. Ed really liked the blue and red frosting we used and kept asking for more to be added. This first picture is actually the last, where he seems to be asking if there is anything more he's missing.
While he gets the concept of "Happy Birthday Eddie", he still doesn't get that he is 2, or supposed to say '2' when asked. Imagine when he's 'free/3' that concept will be a little more clear. When we got the cupcakes out, he immediately knew what they were--danger of sending him to nursery school, I guess. He kept saying 'cupcake', 'cupcake'.
He didn't want to blow out the candles, kept trying to get mom and then dad to blow on them. He was putting his fingers in the frosting and then all of a sudden reached for the candle. I'm not sure if as in the tradition of my family, he'll be a pyromaniac and enjoy playing with the candles, but I pulled his hand away just as it touched the flame, so he probably got that sensation one gets when you whisk your finger through a flame--feel nothing.
He definitely enjoyed the cupcake, as seen here.
