Yes, they love each other. Yes, I encourage it.

It was getting dark quick so I tried to hurry and catch a few shots of these rascals before the sun completely disappeared. We had just finished taking pictures of Selma's (adorable) new baby brother and I was dying over how cute Selma and Hayes were playing (in this scrumptious field might I add). They were running around hand in hand & I just about melted when Selma bent down and kissed Hayes better so he'd stop crying - Oh young love.

What I'm like @ 2!

My favorite...

Toy: buzz

TV show: Team Umizoomi
Movie: Toy Story 3, Cars
Song: Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree
Place: time out  Pop pop's truck or bachoe
Trademark move: the pouty face
Bad habit: getting naked

Famous sentence: "He'll be riiiiiight back" "Where'd pop pop go?"
Treat: MnM's
Pastime: putting a bowl of water on the floor and licking it up like a puppy

When I asked him what he wanted to be when he grows up he said, "Toy Story" and his response to who is his favorite friend, it just happened to be, "Hayes".  Lately I've heard him saying "oh crap" and "shoot" a lot, which I admit I'm totally guilty of teaching him (oops) but we have the hardest time not laughing when he says them. It's so dang cute. His answer to everything is "ummm, dumptruck". A common conversation
Me: "Hayes, whatcha doin?"
Hayes' response: "umm, dumptruck."
Or I get this one a lot too...
Me: Hey, where you goin'?
Hayes: "Ummm, dumptruck!"

I swear we have one of the funniest two-year olds around. To say he is full of personality is an understatement. And by golly, I haven't met a kid that was more stubborn and is always wanting to be in the middle of everything all the time. Busy, adorably busy!

Nudity - 2 yrs

To some people it’s totally natural, to my little boy it was a foreign concept.

My son takes after my hubby in more ways then Chris would like to admit. They both like to go to bed completely and fully clothed. No kidding. Chris will even wear a hoodie to bed in summer. If you find Chris or Hayes hanging out around the house most of the time they have their shoes on. Hayes even freaks out when I change his clothes and boy does that kid want a shirt back on asap. Odd, I know.

That’s why I thought it was so dang weird when Hayes discovered (and even weirder that he liked) nudity. It was foreign to him and I guess he had to get out  all his nudist desires. For two days, every stinking time Hayes would disappear he’d be found hiding behind the couch cushions taking his clothes off as fast as he possibly could.  Whenever I’d get him out of his crib he was naked...and covered in pee.

Happy 2nd B-day!

We had huge plans for Hayes' second birthday. The crate paper was out, decorations in check and party a go. Only problem? The dang weather.

We had plans to go to Logan for baby animal days on Hayes' actual birthday so you could imagine how bummed we were when it rained poured flooded the entire morning. We decided to go anyway and try our luck with the animals inside the barns. Hayes loved it despite the rain and gushy mud. We didn't last very long before we took shelter at a nearby McDonalds and let the kids warm up and run around. So much for cute decorations, but hey the thought was definitely there.

Here's Hayes spread out birthday week...
Did you expect anything but a Buzz lightyear party?

Where did my baby go?

{I obviously never posted this because I never got around to uploading the pictures...oh well, here it is waaaay late, haha}

A two year-old? Really? I can't believe Hayes is going to be 2 in a couple short days. Even though I miss my sweet little baby, Hayes is so much fun now.

About our almost two-year old, (sigh)...

• Our house right now revolves around "Bight-year". Oh gosh, Buzz is his favorite thing in the entire world. No joke! He used to yell "mom" for me to come get him out of his crib but now more times than that he yells, "where's Bightyear, where's Bightyear?" He'd watch Toy Story all day if I let him. 
• He also obsesses about everything little boy like helicopters, airplanes, trains, tractors, cars, remotes, puddles... His favorite time of day is when the garbage man comes.
• He'd definitely move his bedroom outside if we let him. He'll grab his shoes and coat and he lets me know when he thinks it's time to go outside.
• He's a list maker, especially when we are in the car. The other day we were heading out to Kami's and I told him where we were going so he made a list that went something like this, "Ridge, Navie, Pop pop, Ridge, Aunt Kam, Pop pop, Dax, Pop pop's bachoe..." and he says it so matter of fact like.
• He likes to sing before we tuck him in at night. If he doesn't know the words he makes them up as he goes. 
• Hayes is quite the little counter. We went through a period where he hated the numbers 1 and 7 and always left them out but now he finally includes them and counts to ten like a champ. He totally uses it to his advantage too. It's like if he goes to all the effort to count, we had darn well better do something special when he finally gets to ten like applaud him or swing him in the air or how could we possibly get mad at him for jumping down the stairs if he just counted so perfectly before take off?!?
