Happy 2nd Birthday, Andrew!

 Caillou Cake!
Andrew LOVES Caillou.  He's a character
in a show Andrew watches on Sprout TV.

 Briggs has been sitting by himself for a few weeks now.

 The "big kids" table

 I tried to get all 5 bigger kids in one photo....not quite

 Andrew enjoyed his "Caillou" cake

 So did Everleigh

 Claire watches the candle blowing

 Brody gets some help from GG.

 All the big kids were helping Andrew open gifts.

 Andrew was enjoying the action.
(note Caillou on his shirt, too.)

 This doesn't really capture the chaos.

Yes, little brother Ethan was at the party, but sleeping
peacefully with Whitney & Max.

So how to describe 2 year old Andrew?
He's curious.
He loves being "outside".
He's gentle with baby brother Ethan.
He likes to eat most foods.
He loves Caillou (tv character).
He builds with legos and likes to do puzzles.
He's not big on art projects (yet).
He goes to bed at 7 pm and sleeps til around
6:30 am without a whimper.
He takes good naps in the afternoon
but the rest of the time, he's full on busy.
He's daddy's boy but loves his "mama".
He knows his colors and can say most of them.
His favorite book is usually "Brown Bear, Brown Bear"
but also likes "I'm a Big Brother".
They sometimes compete for the same toy but his
best friend is Cousin Everleigh. (I have pictures of
the hugs and hand holding.)
He recognizes most aunts, uncles and cousins and
can say their names when looking at pictures of them.
He loves his "papa".
He has the patience of a 2 year old :)
He can have a tantrum but they are few and far between.
His Grandma Bunny loves him like crazy.
