friday was pizza day, the best day of the week

This kid seriously cracks me up.  In his second year of life so much has happened and I'm just beaming knowing he's in our family. I swear, there hasn't been a single trip to the store that someone doesn't comment on how cute he is (and no I'm not at all biased). I get heart eyes for days for this mop top.

Keep growing little man. Each day I'm excited to see who you become.

To give you just a little taste of Atticus:

-Will eat the entire apple, seeds and all
-Calls pumpkins "la-la's" after riding Haunted Mansion and hearing the music from Nightmare Before Christmas. To add to his pumpkin obsession he has claimed a jack-o-lantern blanket that he takes everywhere (also called la la)
-still a (mostly) vegetarian, meat is just not his jam
-speech has seen improvements in the last few months but not quite where it should be. Tops words include: "mom" and "dad" and "babies" and "ja"
-started scooping out toilet water to drink
-tantrums over the weirdest things
-tells me when he poops ("I booped!")
-the promise of M&M's will get him to do anything (thanks to both grandpas feeding the habit)
-mastered slides
-asks to wear his hair in a man bun and then likes to pinch it when its up
-if he's wearing socks so will you. If he's not wearing socks, you better not be either.
-loves stomping to soccer chants while fist pumping and taking his shirt off to swing around his head
-marbles are life, they are played with daily
-loves Beauty and the Beast, always asks for "beass"
-he quickly makes friends and wants to be close to you, he has no sense of personal space
-loves when we open the blinds at night so he can see the "mooon"
-still claps after things he's proud of and you better clap too
-good at hiding from Dad when he gets home from work
-sleep is also life, he'll still ask to take a nap when he's ready
-giggles so much with his little chicklet teeth

To say we love that boy, is a total and complete understatement.


Friday was pizza day (actually no it wasn't, this Saturday was pizza day but you get the idea) especially for our TWO year old. It was a natural choice to have a pizza party to celebrate this little bean's birthday. He was hyper for an entire week after that birthday.
