Yesterday was Noah's 2nd birthday (still can't believe it!).
The fam got together to celebrate out at Dawn's place because our house can't contain the whole Mayfield clan. Noah spent the hours before his party pestering...er...I mean, feeding the chickens and trying his best to get his birthday outfit and white shoes as dirty as possible. (I know, white shoes? What was I thinking?!)
The theme was construction. I made the cake again this year.
This was his birthday hat. He wore it for the birthday song and then refused to let it touch his head again. Typical.
We had a great turn out (thanks, guys!) and he got a great haul of presents. He got a basketball goal, t-ball set, train set, and books from his Grandma Conchi. He got Bolt, coloring books and crayons, finger paints, a tool bench, 2 Book of Mormon board books, and a nylon crawling tunnel from Mom and Dad. And, he got a playdoh playset and a book from Chris's brother and fam.
In honor of my baby turning 2 I am going to let you in on 22 little factoids about my boy.
1.He HATES commercials and yells for me to "fix it" every time they dare interrupt his cartoon watching. When I tell him to be patient he then turns his wrath on the TV and yells at it.
2.He loves to talk on the phone, especially to his Papa, whether Papa is really on the other line or not.
3.His favorite toy of the moment is a ball in any form.
4.He loves to chase birds but gets quite upset when they escape him by jumping over the fence.
5.His favorite food is green beans.
6.Calls dogs "ra-ruffs" and cats "kit-kittys"
7.He can say his own prayers, although Heavenly Father is the only one that can understand them.
8.He is absolutely convinced that shopping carts and strollers are actually parade floats because he can't ride in one without waving and yelling "Hi!" to passersby.
9.His favorite place to roam is Aunt Dawn's farm.
10.I don't think he actually knows how to walk. He runs everywhere he goes.
11.He is an expert hopper. Several people have commented on his mad hopping skills.
12.He gets complimented most on his gorgeous blue eyes.
13.He insists on listening to the Veggie Tales cd his Aunt Mimi gave him whenever we get in the car. It is really quite hilarious to hear him sing along. I so need to record that someday.
14.He likes to "help" carry the groceries in from the car.
15.He loves to wear his daddy's shoes.
16.He loves to play video games with Daddy. How much longer do you think it will take before he realizes his controller isn't plugged in?
17.He really enjoys trying to give his Grandma Conchi a heart attack by jumping on the couch.
18.He could teach the music director at church a thing or 2. I think more people watch him, chubby finger pointed...arm waving, then the actual music director.
19.His favorite primary song is Popcorn Popping.
20.He is currently going through a feel-the-need-to-throw-everything phase.
21.His favorite cartoon is Tigger and Pooh and his favorite movie is Bolt (or "ra-ruff")
22.He despises nap time but will actually ASK for "nigh-night" at bedtime. Weird.
I could go on and on. I simply adore this kid.
Happy B-day Nutter!
