24 Months old/ Derek Turns 2

Choo Choo!!

Derek is turning 2!!

WOW what an amazing party Derek had for his 2nd Birthday! He is such a sweet boy, and he is so loved.  Since Derek was turning 2, and we did a big party for his 1st birthday, we decided to do a small grandparents only type party.  Great idea on our part, we were able to have a few people here at our house, but still able for Derek to have an awesome birthday party. 

One week before Derek's birthday party we decided that he needed a haircut. In the past we had always taken him to the barber shop and pay someone to cut his hair,  everyone is miserable, and  Derek hates it. Well I got the idea that we could do it ourselves, all we needed were some clippers, right... well not exactly. Doing at home was just as stressful as going to the barbershop, the only difference is we had no idea what we were doing. I put the wrong size on the clippers and cut his hair really short. Fortunately for his party, it didn't look bad at all.

Its Party time!!!!!

Happy Birthday to My sweet baby Boy!

Thomas was everywhere.

We also bought a Thomas whistle, that sounds like Thomas's train whistle, and all month long we would blow the whistle, so Derek would think Thomas was in the house, so when we woke him up from his nap time the day of the party, Thomas was actually here.

And you can't have a train station with out a train conductor, Right??

 Is there such a thing as having to much stuff Thomas?
I don't think so...

 

For the last 2 years, everyday on the 28th, I did everything I could to take a picture of Derek to mark how many months old he is. There were months, where this was the BIGGEST challenge of the day, but we made it through it.

Here is the collaboration of the first 2 years of Derek's life, in pictures.

I am not a crafty person, with that being said, I am pretty pleased how these turned out.

Here is to many many more birthdays to come!!
