Happy 2nd birthday, Sawyer!

The birthday boy enjoying his presents...



and ready for his cupcakes!



Yummy!!

It's hard to believe that 2 years ago, I gave birth to our sweet (and boisterous) second son, Sawyer James Egan. Scott and I were both so overwhelmed with love the instant we saw (and heard) him. It's been a busy two years with job changes and multiple moves, but Sawyer has brought such joy and laughter to our family.

We celebrated with family and friends in TX, and Sawyer absolutely relished being the center of attention. Unfortunately, mommy has been sick, but Daddy (the unbelievable man that he is) stepped up and took both boys to playgroup where Sawyer got to see his friends and be treated to cupcakes and singing. Again, he ate up the spotlight...and the cupcakes! See-saw loves his food...as you can see above! Our little family is headed to the Shedd Aquarium (in Chicago) this weekend, which will be a real treat for my baby boy (I mean big boy) since he LOVES fish, sharks, dolphins, polar bears, etc. We are so lucky to be your parents, Sawyer, and we love watching you grow into your own unique self....an amazing little boy.

At 2 Sawyer loves:
-his big brother, Jack...they are playing so well together these days
-trains, trains and more trains
-eating (still growing at a rapid pace)
-matchbox cars and his new racetrack
-riding his new John Deere tractor and Daddy's tractor
-being outside in this beautiful IN weather
-reading books (especially about trains, cars or animals)
-his "Raffi" and his thumb
-rolling around naked after bath time (blackmail pictures for the future)
-playing hide and go seek
-animals
-his puppet theater
-making us laugh
-flirting with girls
-singing songs (Happy Birthday, ABC's, Take Me Out to the Ball Game, the weather song and the days of the week song)
-counting to 15 (this started happening after two days of preschool...the tuition is worth it! :) He particularly loves counting from 5-15?)
-watching "moomies" (aka movies...particularly Super Why, Diego and Dora)
-talking my ear off!
-doing things on his own while at the same time still being the baby

We love you, See-Saw. Happy 2nd birthday!
