My Baby Boy Turns 2

This post is an ode to my son Zander.  He's going to turn 2 on the 4th of July.  Time has gone by so fast.  I seriously can't believe he's 2 years old.   He's obsessed with trains, planes and automobiles.  So his birthday party was a "Thomas the Train" theme.  He had about 8 friends that he had a blast with.  Here are some of the pictures from the party.

All dressed up for her brother's big day!

On another note, Zoe had her first taste of Rice Cereal on Friday. She was a trooper. Absolutely hated it, her expression showed it all, but she ate it. 

Next week is her big Pediatric Surgeon appointment.  I can only assume she's doing great, since we have never had any problems with her intestines after her surgery.  But that will be the next big update!  Hope you all have a wonderful and safe Fourth of July!  We will be celebrating Z's birthday AGAIN, at least he always has fireworks for his birthday, right?:)

Here is a snapshot for Zoe's benefit from the Chicago Firefighters Union Sounder Magazine.
