You went from little C to BIG C all in a few months. My sweet little red head suddenly morphed into a big boy right after your 2nd bday, which fell on Easter Sunday this year so we broke the celebration up into 2 weekends....lucky for you!
We had some of your favorite friends over for pizza and roasting marshmallows, then the following weekend we spent 2 days at SEA WORLD!!! You loved it, especially feeding the dolphins, where had daddy not noticed you trying to take a head dive into the water with them and grabbed you at the last second, we may have had an "incident" at the dolphin tank.
You make the funniest faces and say full and complete sentences right after you turned 2 as well. You love "wess-el-ing" with J. Still are a great napper and give me NO fights when it's time to take one. Praise Jesus! Daddy discovered that you can count to 13 a couple of weeks before your bday. You were out in the driveway counting the sidewalk chalk in the tub....We were both shocked that you could count that high, as sadly you didn't learn it from either one of us. Thank goodness J teaches you things all day long.
You mimic most things J does, but do prefer some things on your own. You like to play basketball, throw a baseball around and are obsessed with motorcycles. You like to play by yourself a lot, by will play with J when he asks you to. You're a team player and will most likely just go with the flow.
You also have a bit of a destructive side. Taking things apart could be your specialty, most things turn into a gun or some sort of weapon and we're not quite sure how that could morph into a "gift" of yours.
You love to be outside. Riding your bike (we FINALLY got you a blue one, sorry for the pink) is your favorite, but swimming is a close second. Given your climbing skills, which far exceed any child your age, ability to disasemble pretty much anything you want, I'm very thankful that a swimming pool is no longer in our backyard. I'm sure even a pool fence couldn't keep your little crafty side out.
You love to "play" your guitar along with music and hold it like a pro already. We have so many videos of you playing along to your favorite song "never let go" by Matt Redman.
Your such a smiley kid and very easy to discipline. Not sure if that will change but mommy appreciates the grace God gave us in that department these days.
You have a sweet tooth! wow! Popsicles, ice cream and cookies are your favorite. You also love chocolate. You like salad too, but it has to have croutons on it or you will get upset pretty quickly.
I couldn't imagine life with out you. Now that you've become the "middle child" I'm curious if your personality will change more or if you'll still remain the same. Either way, you are one of a kind, so precious and we love you to pieces.

| How the bday boy got woken up |
 |
| The bday boy (or girl now) gets to pick what they want for breakfast. C picked donuts of course. You can tell he was thoroughly enjoying it! |
 |
| Later that night we had C's favorite Austin family over for pizza and roasting marshmallows in the backyard. |
 |
The boys helping add firewood....this had to be shut down real quick because as usual the testosterone
in them turned it into a competition |
 |
| His roasting stick became a weapon. Off from the rest of the group fighting off imaginary beasts |
 |
| Big boy adding putting his marshmallow on after killing whatever with his stick. A true warrior eats with his blood stained weapon. ha! ha! |
 |
| Since his bday was on Easter we still had to acknowledge it a little. So after lunch we sang the Happy bday song, (his favorite song ever!) and gave him a GIANT cupcake. Hello, Type 2 diabetes! |
 |
| The next weekend we spent at Sea World! |
 |
| Waiting to see Shamu |
 |
| Our climber.....seriously, he scale anything! |
 |
| We compromised, this is as high as he was allowed to climb. |
 |
| J not wanting his picture taken. It's hit or miss with him |
 |
It wasn't very hot the weekend we were there, but the kids still loved
waiting for this ride to pass by and get splashed by it |
 |
| This picture is so funny! Perfect timing |
 |
| Excitement can make him catch some air! |
 |
| J LOVED getting soaked |
 |
| A little chilly but angry that we were leaving |
 |
| C's favorite Sesame Street character.....COOKIE MONSTER!! Go figure. He spotted this blue giant from across the park and started yelling...COOKIE!!!!! He's so funny! |
 |
right before the "near catch" T-rav turned his back for a second and even though
I didn't get the dolphin in the pic they are literately right there |
