Maven Turns 2

Maven turned TWO on September 6, 2012. It was a fun day. Grandma Geddes was able to make a trip out to visit. She did a good job of spoiling all of us but mostly Maven. On Maven's birthday we woke up at 5:00AM. Yeah I'm a crazy mom that woke her kid up early on his birthday but it was the only time he would see Brad before he left to work. We had Birthday Confetti Pancakes for breakfast and opened a few presents.  We spent the day our on the town and playing with the train set he got from Grandma Oliverson. And of course we took naps to prepare for the birthday party. Instead of making a cake we opted for Maven's favorite things...COOKIES. We had a cookies and milk birthday party. It included LOTS and LOTS of cookies and lots of friends.  Brad got home just in time to celebrate with us. And of course Maven had to blow out a candle so we got a cupcake for him.

Maven is such a fun 2 year old. I love this stage. Most days I think I'm going to go crazy I'm so exhausted just trying to keep up with the boy but he constantly makes me laugh at the things he comes up with. And he does try to clean up after himself when he spills. He is the cutes when he says "Sorry Mommy" So it's impossible to stay mad. He LOVES to climb.  We'll give credit to the awesome rock wall he has. I'll post more videos on that later. He is all muscle's which puts him in the 10th percentile for weight and 50% for height and head circumference. I don't know what I would do without this amazing little guy. It kills Brad that he can't spend more time with us but he does his best and we take advantage of every moment he has off.
