I can't believe my baby is TWO! We had a lovely party with family and friends on Saturday. Jake got a soccer ball, which he loves, a lot of books, a puzzle, clay, a video of an orchestra (Lolly-Pops), and - his favorite thing of all time - a GUITAR! He carries it with him everywhere and it is not allowed out of sight for long (thanks again, Auntie Heather!). His birthday cake was a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake with Nemo on it, which was very exciting. His favorite ice cream flavor (pink) inside. Sadly, the cake topper was lost and I don't think there's much hope of "finding Nemo." Maybe we can replace it at B&R tonight.
On Sunday we had a pretty mellow day. He spent some time leaping onto his chair, playing guitar, and generally hanging out. Then Jake helped me bake mini-carrot-cakes in the shape of dinosaurs for him to take to class. He helped dump in the ingredients and he stirred! They were darling and yummy! Must get a picture before they're all gone...
Monday was, of course, the big day, but not a huge deal. He got a Nemo lunch box from Mommy's friend, Lori, which is way cool. He saw it and immediately announced "Birthday cake!" Great, now the Disney themed fish is associated with cake and ice cream as well as the movie. I'm sunk. Still, the video requested most often has been Lolli-Pops, so maybe the reign of the fish is waning. Pictures!

I loved that he was totally in the spirit of the party. No tears when everyone burst out singing and the lights went out and the cake came in. And he even gave blowing out the candles a good shot 9although Daddy had to finish the job). {: >
