Tae is 2!

Our little boy is becoming a big boy! On August 31, Tae turned 2, and we celebrated with a "bubbles and balloons" birthday party:


He was so happy to have a birthday cupcake that while I was lighting his birthday candles, he took another cupcake and had a bite!


Tae began "school" (a Montessori toddler's program) the day after his birthday and they made him a "birthday crown" which his teachers said he wore all day and they had to pry off him for naptime:


They put him in the "special birthday chair" and sang a special birthday song:


We were blessed that both sets of our parents were here for Tae's birthday (and Mike's parents were here for almost 2 weeks helping finish our backyard deck bench and do "Tae watch" - bless them!). We took advantage of our families being here to get some professional photos taken at the beach:






Tae's "word explosion" continues, with recent favorite phrases being:
"boom boom truck" (for any big truck)
"ready, set, go!"
"mama dada work (or home or wherever we are at the time)"
"wake up mama" (said this morning when I was a little slow getting to his crib!)
and my personal favorite: "church - fun!"

And since Tae loves to eat and sleep, here he tries to do both at the same time on a recent hot San Luis Obispo day:



We simply adore our little 2 year old! How blessed we are!
