2nd Birthday

It's true, our baby is TWO!  Somebody please tell me how that happened so quickly?!

We had a lot of fun celebrating with him.  We had an Elmo themed party this year and boy was he excited to see "Elmo's, Elmo's EVERYWHERE!" when he woke from his nap!  It was a perfect day with some of his favorite people.

This birthday was extra special considering all he has endured the last 9 months of his life.  He was able to enjoy his party, happy, mostly healthy and in full healing mode! 

He did NOT enjoy everyone singing Happy Birthday at him.  He kept saying, "NO HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"  It was actually very comical and cute.

He really got in to the whole opening presents thing for the first time in his life.  It was magical and precious to watch his face and eyes light up as he tore through all the paper on his gifts.  After his party was over, a few of our friends stayed over to visit.  Landon was so happy that he played on his very own in the backyard for at least 30 minutes.  Those of you who know him, know this is a huge deal!  He is usually practically attached to me, rather, he was following all of his health issues.  It was a glorious moment for me to see him engaged in independent play.  He was content and happy.

One thing I am still trying to wrap my head around is how he became a toddler in the blink of an eye.  Happy 2nd Birthday to our Boy Wonder!

Here are a few photos for you. Enjoy!
