Our big guy turns 2!

Today is Ben's 2nd birthday! I can't believe he is already 2. We had a nice day of no appointments or therapy. Instead, we made a trip to visit my brother Aaron and his wife Jen at the hospital (Jen was due last Friday and was scheduled for a c-section yesterday because their baby was not head down - but after a quick ultrasound before the c-section, their little one had decided to go head down. Now they are inducing her and it is taking a LOOONGG time. If the baby doesn't come tomorrow, they will have a c-section after all. We are very excited to meet their baby, so hopefully she comes soon! She will be our first niece.)

We spent a few hours visiting with them and when we got home, we had a little birthday celebration for Ben with my mom and dad. I baked a two tier cake for Ben (I'm never doing that again, I stink at baking and cake decorating) and I gave him a piece to dive into. I thought for sure he would taste a little or at least smear the icing around. Instead Ben decided to pick up the cake and just throw it over the side of his high chair -- I shouldn't be surprised, he does this with everything. I then gave him a scope of ice cream because I thought that might go over better with him. NOPE! He also tossed that over the high chair. I'll be sure to post some pictures soon.

Happy, Happy Birthday Ben! (Evan didn't want much to do with his cake either--if it wasn't for the fact that "dairy" and "wheat" are two major foods that Evan hasn't tried, I would have blended some up and sent it down his tube).

Hugs,
Sarah, Jeremy, and Evan
