My baby is 2!!

Last Saturday we had Jaden's birthday party.

Finally.

Jaden came down with bronchiolitis, a double ear infection, and fun allergies the weekend of his actual birthday. We spent that week taking him to the ER a couple of nights, doing lots of breathing treatments, and laying low. Thankfully by Monday the next week the pediatrician gave us the thumbs up on Jaden being passed the contagious part, and having clear lungs.

Today we celebrated my birthday, and as a gift, Jaden is sick again. :( But that's another story. 

Jaden has been completely obsessed with Thomas the train for the past yearish, and so I've been so excited to do a Thomas themed party. Probably more excited than Jaden. ;) 

I'm so happy with how it turned out, and so so grateful for the Twins' help! We may have stayed up until the wee hours making posters and stringing the balloon garland... it was like Christmas eve practically! ;)

   

 

 

I had to keep chasing Jaden away from the grapes and chips. :) 

Before Jaden got sick on his actual birthday, I decided I wanted to make him a birthday shirt. So I turned to Pinterest for a tutorial, which told me that I only needed to leave the bleach on the shirt for 10ish minutes... 3 hours later it was finally done haha. Pinterest fail turned win? 

Jaden loves Nanna... he has been known to chase her around to give her hugs ha. 

Before the party got started, Jaden kept coming by the cupcakes, just DYING to get a taste. But he was so good, and never touched it. 

Opening gifts ended up being kind of a joke. Jaden lost interest in opening presents after the first one (because it had a "Thoma" in it, and so his hands were full.) so I ended up doing the opening. Don't worry, he enjoyed all the other gifts after things calmed down. :)

Cousin Reed and his backpack. :)

Aunt Cherene had noticed how much Jaden likes peanut butter (this kid will seriously just sit there with a spoon and the jar until I catch him, haha) and so she gave him a jar of peanut butter at the party since we opened her other present on his real birthday. (The Thomas the train tent! Which all the kids enjoyed at the party!)

Jaden may or may not have drooled on a cupcake when he blew out the candles... I almost died ha.
I hurried and grabbed the cupcake out so no one would accidentally get it. Jaden took two bites and was done.
... at least he liked the trains! 

Sweet Grandma Great. Jaden love love loves his Grandma Great!

Cousin Christian testing out some of the cars Jaden got. 

Thank you to everyone who came and for the cute gifts you gave Jaden! He is one loved little boy. :) We had a fun day with everyone!
