Gift from Grandma & Grandpa

During a recent visit to the Big Apple we a chance to see Grandma and Grandpa. Since their visit was a little short and they weren't here for Jerrick's 2nd Birthday, mom and dad were given instructions on helping them select a proper gift...

So we put our creativity to work and started searching high and low for the perfect gift.

After a couple hours worth of work, J Dude needed to do a quality inspection. He found that although this was fun, it was missing something...

So he discussed it with his friends over some cake and ice cream:

And they all agreed, daddy needed to go back to work. So he brought in some help and went back to work...

So, in sweltering 90+ degree heat and humidity (the hottest days of the year so far), progress was slow but steady. Under constant supervision by his two chief executive officers.

The construction project started to take shape...

Our little supervisors slowly checked things out to make sure that highest level of quality was achieved while putting this together...

It's good to know that even Sophie (the dog) approved of this.

Being that J Dude doesn't seem to think that you can have much fun alone, he decided to share this great gift with his sister...

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for such a great gift that is appropriate for years of fun!

2 Years Old

It's hard to think, but my little baby boy turned 2 on Friday May 27th. It's hard to think that he is already 2 years old. Seems like just yesterday he was just a little baby...

It was only just about a year ago we moved from VA to PA and J Dude was about a year old at the time...

Just today he went for his 2 year well baby check up. He weighs in at 30lbs 12oz which has him in the 80th% for weight, Height is 33.5" which has him at 25th% and his head measures at 20.5 which puts him in 95th%...

He got to have some friends over on his Birthday to help him eat some cake and ice cream!

J Dude loves to eat Green Beans, he also likes Strawberry Milk. He loves to play in the water, but hates taking a bath to get clean. You can however convince him to take showers, but the soap is a little questionable to him...

Oh and lets not forget that he is an excellent climber...

He totally climbed up there on HIS OWN with NO HELP! I don't think he thought about what he was going to do with himself once he got up there...

Needless to say, we are ready for the adventure from 2 - 3.
