Officially not babies anymore

As you may have already noticed (probably not) there is a new birthday ticker for Noah and Eli in the sidebar. You know what that means!? They turned 2! (It's kind of ironic since they just learned how to hold up one finger for one. Maybe they'll be able to hold up 2 fingers by the time they're 3.)

Noah stuffing his mouth full of some pre-party jello.

I honestly can't believe that they are already 2. They are my little boys now, not my babies. But they are as fun as ever and definitely still a handful! For their birthday on Saturday we kept it simple with cake and presents at home with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Mike. After opening all the presents we went to Boyd's Orchard (sorry no pictures, my camera battery died during cake) and they had a blast playing on the playground.

Eli's figuring it out.

Noah was trying to carry the huge present over to Eli so they could open it together.

It is now 100% obvious that they are 2. The have enormous amounts of energy. They climb on everything. Their mood can change at the drop of a hat. They throw fits. They always want what the other one has (for instance, Noah will throw a fit unless you give him the sippy cup/cracker/juice/etc. that you were planning on handing to Eli). They push and hit and bite each other (both when they are playing and when they are mad). They love attention and will do anything to get it. They love to help (throw out garbage, wipe up mess on floor, buckle themselves in car, etc). They are crazy! The list could go on and on but I think you get the point.

Eli licking the cool whip off the top of his cake. Mmmm!
