Happy 2nd Birthday, Braxton

He chose to go to Arctic Circle for dinner. I was naming places to go eat and at first he picked Cafe Rio, but when Tyler reminded him that Arctic Circle has a slide, he decided that was the place to go and eat. He likes to eat the corn dogs, french fries and vanilla ice-cream dipped in butterscotch. We went Monday night, since his birthday was on a Sunday this year.

Cute little birthday boy

Trying to hold up his fingers to show me 2. He couldn't quite do it, even with me helping. It was pretty funny to watch him try. He was so cute doing it.

His Birthday day dinner we had pizza (one of his favorite foods lately) and fruit.

While I was having Braxton take pictures with all the grandparents, he saw Dad and insisted on a picture with him!

Getting ready for us to sing to him. We had ice-cream sundaes will all his favorite treats to go with it.

All day long he was saying "Hap Birthday to ME!"
so cute. Even during sacrament he started belting it out. 

Grandparents and Us decided to go in and get him his 4 wheeler. It arrived on Monday (he opened up a beach toy package from his siblings on his actual birthday). When he opened up the 4 wheeler he was so excited. Dad put it together and he kept saying, "My wheeler" and would scream if anyone else touched it. The battery had to charge for 18 hours…but he was happy to just be sitting on it in the house.

Out riding his 4 wheeler. He can actually do a good job at steering it. He got scared when the wheel got stuck and started to spin crazy. He didn't like that and wanted off. But after awhile, he was back on it. He loves it!

Braxton went to the doctor for his 2 year checkup and he weighs 27 1/2 pounds (50%) and is 37.5 inches tall (above 100%). He is growing just great. He had no shots and was able to get a token to get a ball from the prize machine.

Some of his favorite things: swinging, playing outside, pizza, most fruits, cereal, chips, fruit snacks, pretty much anything treats that contain sugar, jumping on the trampoline, seeing Grandpas and Grandmas, playing with cars and balls, wearing his helmet, blowing bubbles, his pacifier, sleeping by my bed and in our bed, climbing on the top of the couches, when I hold him he loves putting his hand down the back of my shirt. He will do this every time I hold him.
He brings so much happy to our house. He is talking like crazy these past few months. He loves to tattle tell on his siblings. He gives the best hugs and kisses. He is getting more and more independent and he is so much fun!! Love this little man of mine!
