Our son is two year old! Wow, time sure went by fast yet so much has happened. We are so grateful to be Alex's parents and love him to the moon and back and one more time.
To celebrate his birthday i had this great idea of making a forest of standing balloons... but Alex was so fascinated with balloons that he wouldn't let go of them. So we went with the flow. . .
(love these polka dot balloons)
It didn't go exactly as we had planned, among a few other things, i forgot to undo jpeg setting to raw - because i shot this stop motion video on low resolution, but Alex had a fantastic time. And we took 365 photos!!!!!!! (no, i am not keeping them all)
Riding on daddy's shoulder...
and sitting on mommy's lap...
walking around with balloons...
and of course, eating his birthday cake!
He unwrapped his gift which was a 16 inch version of his favorite stuffed monkey Georgie. Unfortunately, he wasn't impressed with it and dumped into bushes. We are still working on manners:)
Story behind these monkeys. Well, his nana got one (to the right and faded) before he was born. Around six months, it became his lovey, he would sleep, travel and play with it. It even traveled to Uzbekistan with us. Anyways, he grew so fond of it that we thought we would surprise him with another one on his 1st birthday. He sure did enjoy hugging both. Then we somehow lost it and right before making an international trip we decided we needed a backup in case we lost his Georgie during trip. This is a big deal, people, he wouldn't go to sleep without it!
We didn't lose it during the trip, in fact he wouldn't let it out of his grip, for whole 30+ hours.
Well, then one day we found second Georgie - so by now he had all three of them. Somedays, Alex walks around hugging all three of them. So cute~
So, since he was turning two, big boy needs a big Georgie, I thought. But as you can see, he wasn't impressed AT ALL!!!
All in all, it was a beautiful family celebration time and photo memories for us. Happy Birthday, Alex!!!
