Happy 2nd Birthday Jensen!

Our world brightened two years ago when our little lucky charm was born! Since that special day, our lives have been filled with fun, laughter, lessons and challenges. Jensen continues to entertain us - He is certainly obsessed with the ABCs. He got ABC magnets for his birthday and you would have thought he won a million dollars! His vocabulary increases everyday and he likes to repeat the last word of every sentence. "Jensen, are you excited to go to school today?" and he'll say, "today." We're also starting to notice how easily he picks up on things we say. I often have to tell him not to climb on the chair where he eats....The other day, he was walking around the house saying, "Get down now, get down now!" Yikes! We're really starting to watch everything we say and do.

Jensen spent his birthday at school and celebrated with his classmates. They made special St. Patrick's Day crafts and ate shamrock cookies. At home, we continued our tradition of celebrating with reuben casserole (although we've decided this is more for the parent's enjoyment) and shamrock-shaped pistachio cake (we added chocolate chips this year-yummy!). This year we also added green beer to our menu - what a nice treat! These days beers taste so good at the end of the day....and so well deserved:) Jensen loved his birthday cake and is finally understanding that it's not Bobo's birthday anymore (He's been singing happy birthday to Bobo since December!). He'll also reply and tell you he's two.

So we've officially entered the world of terrible 2's....At least that's what we can blame a lot of those quirky behaviors on:)


Yummy pistachio cake!

Jensen loves broccoli right now!


Cheers with my little man:)
