Jason's Birthday!

I can't believe that Jason is 2 (and that I am not pregnant)! When he woke up we told him that it was his birthday and he was so excited! The first thing he asked was where his birthday cake was. He kept saying "Jason's birthday" and "my birthday cake", and singing the happy birthday song to himself. He was so excited after nap time when Aunt Kimmy, Ethan, and Lucy got to our house, and so happy when he saw Stephy, Benjamin, and Grandma Streeter too! I think that we could have skipped the cake and presents and he would have been just fine as long as Grandma was there playing with him! I was just happy to be able to hang out with my sisters for 2 days in a row!!!! It was so nice to have them here!

I decided to make a cow for Jason's birthday cake, mostly because it looked easy, and because who doesn't like cows?! After Adam's Little Einsteins cake, I was ready for something quick and less labor intensive. This one didn't take very long, and I think it turned out cute!

Jason didn't really enjoy opening presents on Christmas, so we weren't sure how he would do, but he really got into it! He loved all of his presents, but I have to say that the Woody doll from Kimmy and Stephy won the prize. He hasn't let it out of his sight since the big day!

We were able to buy Isaac his new bike with the help of Grandma and Grandpa George, and thanks to them again, we bought Jason a trike. He loves it and is starting to get the hang of pedaling. Whenever his brothers go out and get their bikes, he pulls out his trike and sits on it- he thinks he's such a big boy!

Jason was pretty funny blowing out his candles. He didn't actually open his mouth- it was amazing that he was able to do it!

Here's my bragging section. Feel free to skip over this part if you have a sensitive stomach! Even with all of the crazy things that Jason does, (see also the lotion post if you haven't already seen it!) he is such a fun little kid, and, of course, I think that he is a genius! He tells jokes (we'll be driving or sitting around and he'll come up to me and say, "momica (mom and monica) why chicken pass road?" and I have to say, "I don't know Jason, why did the chicken cross the road?" and then he'll either just start laughing or he'll say "because chicken side". There are endless variations... duck, shoe, carrot, tree, etc. He can go on forever, and sometimes he does!) He talks constantly now, and he says the funniest things. He recognizes almost half of the letters of the alphabet- if you point to a letter and ask him what it is, he can tell you most of them and he even knows some of the letter's sounds. He sings songs, knows his colors and shapes, counts to 14, draws circles, lines, and "eyes" (he makes dots on the paper and calls them eyes). He loves to tease people, and he can be so silly. He makes us laugh all of the time!
