Happy 2nd Birthday Little Man!!!

I can't believe my baby boy is 2! His birthday was July 17th and we celebrated on the 16th with our family and a few friends! It is hard to get a picture of Phoenix recently, he runs and hides whenever he sees the camera, LOL! This pic is from Veronika's party in June!
Lucky Phoenix had lots of pretty little girls at his party! Jackson and Tucker couldn't be there so Gabe was the only other boy there! Here is Evie, Rylie, Violet and Veronika. Rylie is my friend Randi's little girl. Rylie and Violet are 4 1/2 months apart and their youngest, Sophie is about 3 months older than Phoenix! My friend Becky and her baby Gabe were also there!
We had dinner, presents, cake and went swimming! A funny story about his cake...I ordered it the previous Saturday at Kroger MarketPlace. When we arrived to pick it up they couldn't find a cake or order sheet. The woman helping me told me she could have something ready in 15 min. so we went to get the rest of our groceries. When we came back I saw a very pretty pink and purple cake!!! HaHa! The woman said she thought Phoenix was a girl because of his pretty curls (and in her defense he was wearing a red Disney shirt that had lots of Disney characters...including a princess;) She fixed this cake up for us in about 5 min and gave us a 50% discount! And it was a yummy cake!Phoenix Logan Tripp, you are 2 years old and YOU. ARE. A. STINKER!!! Right now I spend my days following you from mess to mess...literally:) You love to turn on Mommy and Daddy's sink and fill a cup up with water, as soon as you know you are caught you pour the water on the floor and run. While I am cleaning up that mess I can hear you in the trash. By the time I get there you have found some discarded snack in the trash. While I am picking up the trash you make your way to Veronika's bed (which you know you are not supposed to be on) and laugh when I catch you! When I get you down you run away to make some other mess! And that is just a sample of the things you do!!! Your favorite things to get into are art supplies, Connect Four (you love to dump the entire box on the floor), cat food, trash can, sink, refrigerator, sink, toilet,sandwich bags, plastic spoons, clean and folded laundry, etc. You wear me out but I am so thankful that you are healthy and FULL of ENERGY!!!
Height: 3ft, 1.25in. (98%)
Weight: 30.625 lbs. (79%)
Head: 21 inches (99.96%) Sorry son, you get that big ole' noggin from Mommy:)
Being your Mommy is one of the greatest privileges of my life! Being a Mommy to a little boy is an adventure everyday and I am so thankful that I get to spend each day with you! I love you baby boy!

That made me laugh because it is all too familiar. I also follow my two year old from mess to mess. Happy Birthday, Phoenix!

Love your updates. Phoenix has a "Johnson Head" that means that he is smart like his Doddi and his Aunt! HA HA
