Yup, it’s true. Benjamin is officially a two year old!!

We celebrated by heading to the playground earlier in the day, since the weather was so nice.

After getting some energy out at the park Ben enjoyed some yummy pizza! He is getting  pretty darn good at holding that pie!

Apparently I was taking too many pictures while [...]

Ben’s FAVORITE new past time is jumping off the couch! He and daddy are working on some crazy stunts….

Don’t mind the wee wee. We are on a diaper strike these days!

Ben likes spicy foods.

And, of course, he enjoyed some cake while wearing his cool new pirate hat.

No night is complete without modeling his new underwear!!
