Shaz by the Sea

We celebrated Conor and Caden all weekend. Starting on Cinco de Mayo on Thursday. We originally were planning on having the boys on 5/5/14 but apparently the operating room was all booked up, so we scheduled them on Tuesday 5/6/14. So let the celebrations begin! *These are mocktails.....no booze. Then on Friday, they had a little birthday celebration at school, which was so thoughtful of Meryem. The boys go to Le Creche Daycare in Burlington (she has a site on care.com if you are looking for childcare. She is wonderful). Friday night, we packed a picnic, had some food and played outside, and then opened some presents at home. It was a real nice night. First solo pics as two year olds... Look what they had when we arrived at school! And then on Saturday, my family came over and we had a nice dinner and opened more presents. Here is their second birthday Daniel Tiger cake! Conor kept saying "Birthday Cake...mmmmm". It was real cute. ...

The boys second birthday is in just a few days...I can't believe it! When they turned one, it didn't hit me that hard at all - but there is something about their second birthday that is making me feel like they are really getting older. Maybe it's because they are really growing, interacting, talking, learning, and are FUN right now. I've seen huge growth even since January - they are doing so great. They listen better, and understand everything I'm saying. It makes it easier when I ask them "where are your shoes?!" And they come running over to me with them. WOW! Seriously, it's such a help. 0-6 Month Favs: First beach trip... First trip to the National Mall.. First Cape Cod trip... First of many, many, many walks together...
