Birthday pictures Part 2

We decided to throw Gianni a little birthday party with a few friends and family the day after his birthday because Saturdays just work better for most people. It was really fun! I made invites on Photoshop with a little train on them saying "choo-choo Gianni is two" and we threw him a little choo-choo train party. It went about how you would expect a two year old party to go, kids running wild around the house while the adults munched and chatted. Gianni had a blast and I couldn't have asked for anything else.

Unexpectedly we got some snow, which Gianni was very excited about. He spent most of the earlier part of that day gazing out the window saying "s-NO!"

 All bundled up

Big boy truck from grandma and grandpa Sanelli! He loves this thing although it took about 4 grown men to put it together it was worth the wait :)

Mooostache!

The things he learns...

...from the "responsible" adult figures around him. (don't worry, his wasn't actually punctured, so no helium was inhaled)

Late birthday pictures Part 1

Sorry about the delay, we have been sick for the past 2 1/2 weeks and are slowly recovering, and I feel terrible not having posted pictures sooner of Gianni's 2nd birthday! But here they are, better late than never I guess :)

These first set of pictures are from January 13th, his actual birthday. We semi celebrated that day, but had a party planned for the following day, so we just had a chill day. I made his favorite breakfast (bacon, o.j., and crepes with berries), then later we took him out for a birthday dinner, opened presents, let him watch his favorite movie (cars aka lightning McQueen), had a birthday cupcake, then off to bed :)

Yay! A new big boy potty! Thanks mommy and daddy! (now, are you ready for some embarrassing pictures?

So happy to be sitting on his big boy potty... 

...and that is about all he did on it.

 So excited to blow out the candle

Enjoying the yummy cupcake

 Presents!

 Snazzy new church clothes

 Yay more toys!

Cool new skateboard! Thanks Grandma Horne for all the awesome presents!

I also have a super cute video of Gianni singing happy birthday to himself with us, but I can't get it to upload :(

Gianni is 2!

How time flies! I mean really, I seriously gave birth two whole years ago to this little boy who is in no way a baby any more? I can't believe how little he was, and how much he as grown. He makes us laugh so much and we just love him. He has brought so much joy and happiness to our lives, we just can't imagine life without him. Happy Birthday Gianni, we love you!

 Brand new, weighing in at just above 7 lbs.

The last two pictures were taken from his 1st birthday, I cant believe that was an entire year ago!

One Year (Part One)

I know this is very late(over a month actually) , but  I thought I would share a few pictures of Gianni's first birthday! These Pictures were taken birthday morning, I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did taking them. Sorry for the lack of detail, I have to quickly post so I can chase Gianni down again.

 Walking! (He actually started walking about 2 weeks before his birthday)

 Birthday Breakfast! Blueberry pancakes, eggs, and bacon. YUM!

More pictures to come!!!
