Happy 2nd Birthday John!

I cannot believe that John turns 2 today! The time since he has been home has gone so fast. He is growing up very quickly. We had a family party yesterday and he had a fun day. His favorite presents were a bike from his Nana and a Wiggles DVD from his cousin. My sister got him a really cute table and chairs set from Ikea. We had dinner there last night!!

Here is my birthday boy! This year and last year!

Happy Birthday John-John!! Kathy - it sounds like you had a great party yesterday and I'm sure John helped big-time with clean-up, the great little helper that he is. He's so happy and healthy and clearly loves his mommy soooo much. Wiggles this, Wiggles that - did he buy any Wiggles stock yet?

Happy Birthday little guy! - Barbara
