William is 2!

William Henry turned 2 years old yesterday. Wild! Time has flown by. We celebrated his birthday Sunday after church here at our house. Will was in the middle of a pretty gross cold so he was neither feeling well nor in the best of moods for his party. He woke up in a cranky mood and was ultra, super-duper clingy so that was kind of unfortunate. Thankfully, he eventually warmed up (after cake time) and was able to enjoy himself a little.

We had an awesome Yo Gabba Gabba themed party for him. I even made him an iron-on Brobee shirt and a Muno shirt for Matt. Steven made me pose with my creations. I went with Thunderscloud subs again for lunch, and they were tasty.

I made a DJ Lance boom box cake.

And DJ Lance cupcakes. They were funny.

Will was all smiles for the singing of Happy Birthday, and I know he enjoyed his cupcake. I think it's the only thing he ate all day long.

The big kids enjoyed playing outside even though it was a little chilly.

We had a pinata, and inside it happened to be some awesome mustaches. Yesssss!

Hold me Daddy!

We came back inside and played a game. Those of you who have seen the show may be familiar with the "There's a party in my tummy" song....well, in the spirit of pin the tail on the donkey we instead played put the party in Brobee's tummy. The kids had a blast with it.

Yes, coloring Brobee took a long time. Matthew helped with about .05% of it. Quitter.

We opened presents once it was down to just us family. I'm not sure if Will was able to rip any of them open because of all his cousins and his big brother swarming him, but he didn't seem to mind at all.

He got some awesome Brobee shoes. It was a fun party even though the birthday boy wasn't feeling like himself. I'd say today he's probably 80% better, so that is wonderful. Clingy, whiny, no-eating, coughing, oozing, fussy Will is not my favorite. He is adorable, funny, smart, willful, silly, adventurous, independent and so much fun wrapped up in the tiniest little body. He brings me joy everyday! It's a paradox to me that he's only been around for 2 years yet those 2 years have gone by so fast! What's up with that? I love my Will. Happy Birthday, buddy.
