the monchichi turns 2!

yesterday, my nephew turned a whole 2 years old! it's crazy! these lil buggers grow up way fast. when i cam home in december he could barely walk, let alone say anything comprehensible, and now we've got to chase him everywhere and he won't shut up, even if we don't understand him half the time!

i love seeing his little personality emerge. he's starting to learn sarcasm (gee i wonder who taught him!) but he's still so very gentle. i absolutely LOVE his laugh. if we could somehow bottle it i'm sure it could cure every disease on earth. i love when he reaches for my hand. and i love when he holds me just a little tighter when he doesn't want me to let go. it's good being an auntie :)

he gets his real party with everyone in the family on saturday but here are a few highlights from his actual bday:

CUTE! I like the one of him looming over the cake without his shirt on. Personally, that's how I like to observe cake as well.

That is the cutest kid ever. I can't wait to be an aunt; my brother and sister-in-law are waiting (and waiting) to adopt a baby from Vietnam. Kids are the best!

Awww! What a sweetie!

Are we looking at fried pickles there? Interesting! I would have gone w/ the wings but he's the birthday boy.

Also, is he karate-chopping his cake there??

This kid is awesome. Happy b-day little guy!
