Adam's 2nd birthday was on Saturday and we had a University of Utah themed party in honor of the BYU/Utah game (his Daddy is a big Utah fan...his Mommy...couldn't care less). Adam is obsessed with drumming so I made him a drum cake with a Utah logo and candy cane drumsticks. I was so pleased that he actually recognized that it was a drum! :) We had his party at my parents house because everyone was already there to watch the game and Adam's Grandma and Grandpa "Grapes" (which means his great grandparents) stopped by for cake and presents. Because we had been with Nat's family on Thanksgiving, they gave him presents that day instead. Adam loved his cake, loved the football candles, loved us singing to him, and loved opening presents. He will be very excited to open Christmas presents since he now knows fun things come inside those presents!

It says "Adam U are 2!" Clever huh? :)

Opening presents. He got lots of fun new toys!
Little does he know he will get a bunch more in less than a month!

He had his 2 year old check-up yesterday and here are his stats:
Weight: 25 lbs. - 20th percentile
Height: 34.5 inches - 60th percentile
His doctor was very pleased with his weight gain. Since he was 9 months old he has been steadily dropping in the weight percentages, the lowest being 5th percentile at his 18 month check-up. I don't know what has changed, but it's a good thing! He's still really skinny and I have a hard time finding pants that are long enough but that fit his waist, but it's good to know he's no longer on the verge of dropping off the growth chart!
I found myself a little sad as I put him to bed on the night of his birthday. He is growing up so fast! I don't know how 2 years could possibly have gone by so quickly. Although I miss my little baby, 2 year old Adam is constantly making us laugh! He never stops talking and frequently sings to himself while he plays. I love hearing his cute little voice sing with us at bedtime. When he prays he folds his arms and scrunches his eyes closed in the cutest way. He is very much a toddler and throws his fair share of tantrums, but the good most definitely outweighs the bad and I'm excited to see how he grows and changes in the coming year. Especially with becoming a big brother!
