Terrific Twos

Today, I have partied like it's my birthday because it IS my birthday!

I am now two years old. Normally, people refer to them as the terrible twos, but Mommy thinks (or should I say hopes) that my twos will be terrific and it will be a year where I: stop tearing holes in my toys and pulling the stuffing out, stop clawing at the door frame in "the hole", become less obsessed with chasing a ball, and don't climb stairs I'm not supposed to. I don't think it's a good idea to set such lofty goals so I'll take a wait and see attitude.

Now for my party...

Here are the yummy treats.

After we came back in, Daddy was playing with my new toy, and I wanted it back.

Mommy cut the video off before you see me make it all the way in the chair, but I did finally make it on that last jump. See...

I had a great birthday, and I want to thank all my family and friends for the birthday wishes. We'll be in Knoxville next weekend, and I'll still be accepting gifts. Like I always say, presents are better late than never! :)

On a more somber note, today is also the anniversary of a very sad day. One year ago today, we lost our beloved Sassy. We still miss her!
