Nathan's 2nd Birthday in Paris (2 of 2)

Our little boy turned two on September 17th.  He is such a sweet and loving boy, but also all boy!  He loves all sports - soccer, football, baseball, smash ball, tennis, volleyball - pretty much anything that includes a ball.  And, he's actually really good at all of it - I have no idea how he is so coordinated.  He also loves balloons, trains, riding the bus, and animals (ducks, cats, dogs, even the peacocks at Holland Park). He likes going to the playground and riding the slide and basically just running all over the place.    He's a bit on the shy side when he meets new people and takes a while to warm up, but if someone offers to give him a high five, he jumps at the opportunity.  He loves his mommy and is even a bit clingy (but, I'm not complaining :) ).  But, he also loves Daddy and Uncle Casey and likes for us all to be together.  He is also really into singing right now.  He loves to throw out requests for people to sing and he also identifies the person he wants to sing the song (i.e., "Daddy, Row, Row Boat").  His favorite songs at the moment are Row, Row, Row Your Boat; The ABC Song; Hickory Dickory Dock (aka "Tick Tock"); BINGO; and Snowflake.  He also likes to sing though (when he thinks no one is listening).  I often will find him singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat ; Happy Birthday To You; and Snowflake.  We have loved every minute of the last 2 years and can't believe how quickly Nathan is growing!  We can't wait to see what is in store for the next year.

Here are pictures from Nathan's birthday day and Paris.

The morning of Nathan's 2nd birthday.

Another favorite souvenir from Disneyland - a fun little container that held popcorn.  He walked around Paris with this on his neck :)  Glad he got some use out of it - this little thing of popcorn cost 9 Euros!

Eating ice cream in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Drinking his milk at dinner.  Even though he could barely reach it, he refused to let me help him - that's my 2-year old:)

Happy birthday Nathan!  He loved blowing out his candles.  After he blew them out the first time, he kept saying "candles on."  He had us re-light them 3 more times so he could keep blowing them out :)

In front of the Arch de Triomphe.

And, and airplane :)

Oops - forgot to post this one with the Disneyland pictures.  Family carousel ride.
