Playing at the children's museum on Austin's birthday

As you can see from the pictures Austin turned two and we went to North Platte to celebrate with some friends and family. We had a wedding in North Platte on the same weekend so it worked out well to celebrate while we were there. We went to the Children's museum on Austin's birthday and then had a little get together the next day with some family for his birthday. It was nice to get to visit with family and we were really glad so many people could make it to celebrate with us. He was so excited when we picked up his Mickey cake, and of course he wanted to eat it right away. Let's just say by the time his party rolled around his cake definitely had some finger holes in it from him sticking his finger in it and eating it, thanks Nina!!! Saturday night the boys had a sleepover at Matt's parents house, it was our first night that we've been without both boys since Austin was born, it was kinda nice to get to sleep in and not be woke up by 7:30am:):) Here is a little rundown of what's going on with Austin at age 2:

• he's potty trained...completely, i cant believe it!!! I definitely credit this to Matt, he had been taking his diaper off at night and letting him run around naked from the waist down and apparently that did the trick. We have had very few accidents, I think only 4 or 5 the entire time and hes been in big boy pants for about a month now. He even wears them to bed at night, thats right no diapers, ever!!!! I figure he knew all the diapers we were buying were really starting to break the bank and he's doing his part to help the family out financially:):)
• Talks up a storm...we don't always understand what he is saying, but he definitely likes to talk, I wonder where he gets that:):)
• Loves his baby brother....this is a relationship that took a while to achieve, it started out at first with a little jealousy and some elbows and knee jabs at Logan, but has no developed in hugs and wanting to hold and feed him, he is quite the little helper when it comes to getting Logan's diapers for us and putting his bink back in his mouth
• Has entered his lightening mcqueen phase...dont get me wrong Mickey is still number 1 but lightening mcqueen has definitely peeked his interest...from what I hear this is quite a long phase and we are in for the long haul with many lightening mcqueen years ahead!!
