"I'm 2!"

Gus celebrated his 2nd birthday last week while Oma and Opa were here. He enjoyed donuts for breakfast and a cheeseburger and ice-cream cake for lunch:) Honestly, that was about the extent of the celebrating. I just couldn't get it together enough this year to do anything big.

It's been a lot of fun lately to watch Gus grow up. Our neighbor Erin taught him how to hold up 2 fingers and say "I'm 2!" It takes him awhile to get his fingers right, which is funny, and then he gets this huge grin on his face:) He is starting to enjoy copying whatever Scott is doing. Last weekend it was the lawnmowing.

He loves being outside these days, cutting the grass...

...or the sidewalk!

He also enjoys attempting to walk around in our shoes,

still loves reading books,

tries to help with household chores (he is very good at carrying his clothes basket back to his room once it's emptied into the washer),

and has started sleeping in his "big boy" bed!!!

We love you so much, Gus-man!!

Happy Birthday to our favorite nephew:) Sounds like he'll be a big help to you once his little sister arrives! He looks so OLD in the lawnmower pictures.

I love the matching Gus shirts. :) I'm glad he's taking to the toddler bed well. :) I enjoy Troy coming out when he's done napping or in the morning instead of listening for him and then going to get him. :)
