Funny man Cruz!
Yes, presents!!!
Our little guy turned 2 yesterday! I absolutely can't believe how fast time goes by! He had kinda a rough day, but typical of Cruz he just carried on. We got up in Wisconsin at 4:30 which is 3:30 Utah time. We were on our first leg by 6:00a.m. Wisconsin time, 5:00 a.m. Utah time. We had another layover in Denver and by the time we got on our flight in Denver at 9:00 a.m. Cruz was tuckered out, he slept the whole flight home. Grandma Raddon picked us up from the airport and took Shawn to work and took Cruz and I out for a birthday lunch! Cruz and I came home and played for a bit and then he was ready for another nap around 2. Because I knew today was kinda going to be crazy with our schedule and everything, we really didn't plan a big party. I invited my sister over and my mom came later for cake. Cruz got up at about 4 and we ran out to get some party supplies. We got "Cars" plates and cups, picked up our favorite take and bake pizza and stopped at Baskin Robbins for a yummy ice cream cake. Within an hour I had everything I needed for our little party (that is the great thing about a 2 year olds birthday, they don't really care)! Cruz loved his pizza and must have been starving because he kept screaming, "pizza" "pizza" while we were waiting for daddy to come home from work. Cruz was really into unwrapping his gifts this year, he loved the unwrap part. We got Cruz a train set that I still need to put together. He got a scooter from Grandma Raddon and he got a book, a puzzle, and a truck from the Frye's. The truck they gave him was the same truck that Shawn received on his 2nd birthday, I thought that was pretty impressive. Leigh and the boys gave him some trains to put on his new train tacks. We also gave Cruz a giraffe family. He really liked everything he got....now the dilemma, where to put everything!!
Cruz is our little ham. In the last couple of weeks, he has started talking a little bit better. He is still hard to understand sometimes and if I don't know what he is talking about I am totally confused. Cruz loves to laugh and he loves to get people to laugh. He has started to do this really funny fake laugh to get attention. I have to look away because it totally cracks me up. Cruz has a mind of his own and loves to do his thing. We are working on listening to mommy and daddy and therefore some time outs have been occurring. Lately Cruz likes to point his finger at whomever and say "no" if he doesn't want to do something, that is kind of a nasty little habit that he has also picked up. He loves to be outside! He loves to swing! Cruz loves to explore and smell flowers. He loves to help daddy (and Grandpa Frye) in the yard. Cruz has to pull up a stool next to me when I am in the bathroom or in the kitchen and "help". Cruz is a very good eater and will eat almost anything we give him. He makes me laugh all day and he keeps a smile on my face. I love this little guy more than words can express. My wish for him, a safe, healthy, and happy second year of life!!! We love you Cruzilicious!
