The Terrible Two Birthday!

I told Bensen not to, but he turned 2 anyways on January 3rd. I baked him a ball cake that Daniel decorated. He was a little nervous at first, trying to figure out what we were doing. He blew out his candles himself.

He was so cute opening his presents. He remembered from Christmas since it was only a week before. He would say, "Oooo," as he opened each one.

He mostly got cars and car stuff. Now he can play cars WITH Parker and Parker won't be yelling because Bensen will have his own stuff (that Parker wants to play with). Too bad no matter what you do there will always be arguments. ha ha.

Uncle Matt, Aunt Brittany, and Noah came over to celebrate with us.

Yummy cake and ice cream. I think Bensen is saying "cheese." :)

I decorated his chair and he got mad when he saw it and tried ripping if off. I tried to tell him it was for his birthday (whatever that is, right?). But when Daniel came home from work Bensen told him something as he pointed to his chair decor. Who knows.

I got him a balloon on his special day and he took naps with it for a few days in a row. I will probably be called a bad mom for letting my baby take a nap with a balloon, especially one attached to a long ribbon that could wrap around him 500 times. It's a good thing I know that he sleeps like a little bug during his nap and doesn't really move. Such a cutie.

So sad that he turned two. He is a funny little boy. He still loves balls the best, but likes cars and other boy things too. He would live outside if he could. He also wants to be a fish and never get out of the bath. To everyone who has spent time with Bensen, they probably think he is quiet and shy and just hangs out, but, oh no! He is loud and crazy. He has always hated riding in the car since he was born and still does. If I don't bring his pacifier in the car with us, I go crazy! He just makes this really loud fake cry sound that never lets up. If you put him to bed crying, he does NOT eventually stop and go to sleep. You have to figure out how to fix it somehow. Sometimes it can be by just giving him a ball. He is a cute little dancer and has the best expressions. Especially his eyes, they show so much expression. We love our little guy. If only we could get him to love to eat.

Happy Birthday Bensen Bryce!
