Our Bug's Second Birthday!!

The Bug checkin' out his "big" Birthday present.  It was a t-ball stand that will also automatically shoot out baseballs to hit.  Right now he LOVES baseball, so was pretty dang excited about this present.

Blowin' out his candles on the baseball cupcakes we took over to the Williams'  to celebrate his birthday with.

Definitely not scared of the candles/smoke this year.  He loved blowing them out...wanted to do it again.

His big baseball birthday cake after blowing out his candle at home.  He devoured the frosting on those cupcakes.

So, for The Bug's Second Birthday we just stayed at home like last year.  I already had a ball cake form pan from the basketball cake I made him last year, so we decided because he loves baseball so much right now I'd make him a baseball.

I made my own marshmellow creme fondant for the outside of the cake...and that was an adventure all by itself.  Not sure I would do that again.  But I think it turned out pretty good.  I made some baseball cupcakes too that we took over to the Williams' so he could celebrate with George, Charlie(Charlotte), and John.  They are some of his bestest friends.

He got way too many presents...but it's hard to not spoil such a sweet little boy.  His big present was a t-ball and automatic pitching toy.  He thinks it AWESOME!!  Of course he already played with it with dad.

Last year he was absolutely terrified of the smoke from his candles, but this year he had no problem with it.  He loved blowing out his candles!

I took about a bajillion pics of everything we did on his birthday, but something happened when I attempted to upload them to our computer and these 5 or 6 pics are all I have left of his birthday.  I'm just glad I have a little bit of everything...I could have lost them all.

So we now have a 2 year old!  Craziness!!

Bring on the Terrible Two's!!



P.S.  I'm posting this in March 2012...I got a little behind.  But as a little note...this was the one of the first days I was REALLY sick with morning sickness.  No one knew we were pregnant yet (we announced it about 5 days later) and I was pretty dang miserable the entire day.  So, making my own fondant and his cake was a little more arduous than it probably would have been had I not felt like throwing up all day.  Even though I was sicker than a dog...this was a pretty good birthday for our family.  Our first miracle baby was turning Two...and our second was  just getting started.  What a miracle birthday...what a wonderful day.


Me being so sick with morning sickness contributed A LOT to my being so late in posting.  Then the later I got the easier it was to just not do it...but I decided I REALLY needed to get it done.  So, here I sit posting about The Bug's second Birthday, while a sweet little 10 month old little girl crawls around at my feet putting everything she can find in her mouth.  And I'm remembering the process of getting her and how I felt on The Bug's Second Birthday.  What sweet memories.
